"Or get a 280 and call it a 7mm Express/Remington."

It's a slightly more powerful clone of the metric 7x64 Brenneke which would closely fit in with what you're looking for.. My last custom build was a 1909 Argentine mauser chambered to the .270 Rem./7MM Express and is the rifle I'm working loads up for at this point in time for January elk hunt. NIce rifle, 24" barrel, Niedner trap door butt plate and grip cap and a very pretty piece of Claro walnut for a classic style stock. Very nice Fleur de Lis checkering. First test loads with the Nosler long range Accubonds show promise.
So, my suggestion would be the .280 Remington.
