Out of the ones you list, Weatherby Vanguard or Howa1500.
Prophet has this one on for $679, tax in and free shipping.

The only 270 I own is an AB3, no complaints with it, liked it enough I bought another in .308. It's not a lot different then the XPR, little more refined I guess, better mags and barrel retention, comes fully glass bedded.

Steyr, buy once cry once, and be happy, you won't regret spending the extra Few bucks later down the road for something you really like, the vanguard is good value, but I'd get another steyr even if it took longer to save up the coin.
The more I shoot mine the more I realize how truly overbuilt the actions really are. I think they would make a good base for any custom gun....no plastic, no weak links, everything done right and not on the cheap.
These are some 55gr Nosler I've got ready for yotes and other PITA dialed in for my 243...so they are going pretty fast.
223 spits them pretty tight too. And it's much "prettier" lol.

I've shot a 30-06, 308, 300 win mag. But never a 270. From what I've been reading it'll do everything the 308 will. A bit more of a flat shooter.
Just heard a lot of good things about it and the ammo isn't too expensive either.
Should I find a nice rifle in a different caliber I would be open to purchasing that one.
I'm pretty indifferent to it, but just set on the 270 as my top pick.

Because it shoots as flat as a 300, recoils less than a 30-06, and kills deer just a well as both?

I put my T3 hunter up against my mothers ruger in .270 last year to see how they compared in ergonomics and fit and finish, no offence to those fond of the ruger but it felt heavy and awkward next to my T3. Honestly I felt kind of bad for her, she's older and smaller, seemed like a poor match.
