It looks like I got what I asked for here, good advice that helped me decide about the cartridge. - I'm going with the 270.

I went about this completely backwards... The clever way to go is to pick a cartridge that matches your intended use - then shop among the brands and models that feature your chosen cartridge.

The barrel tuner is important to me though, so that narrows it down to Browning. Winchester bought licensing to use the BOSS tuner, but I don't see it in their catalog so that eliminates the great model 70s.

There is an aftermarket tuner available at Brownells that can be mounted on just about anything, but it only comes with a muzzle-brake and I'd rather take a beating from recoil than blow somebody's ears off. If it had an option like the BOSS does, I would consider it very seriously.
