    .270 win or .257 wby,

    Been on the hunt for a second barrel for my Blaser K95, (7x65),
    I've found 4 barrels, 7x57R octagonal, with sights, this is too close to what I have, and 3.6grand.
    a round barrel .270 win, no sights 1.8g
    a octagonal .257 Wby, with sights, 2.8g
    and a 8x68 round barrel, no sights for 1.8g, very limited ammo, recoil is likely brutal, but I am still interested.
    the .270 makes the most sense, but its a kissing cousin to the 7x65,
    I am leaning towards the .257 wby,
    Any how what's your thoughts, any one seen 8x68 ammo in NZ, or for that matter .257 wby,
    Its a pretty expensive barrel, but love the little rifle,
    selling up a dozen bolt actions, and working my way into a couple switch barrel rifles.
