Apparently you have yet to shoulder the Sako Finnlight, I think its a full pound lighter than the XCR. I am in the same boat as you 'cept I bought a 300WSM (finnlight) first, now saving for the 25.06 in the Finnlight for company in the safe.

Go buy it. Haven't you heard? We're on the verge of a recession. We need to spend our money to save the economy. And, it helps that THIS time, you'd be buying American-made...

Don't you know there are gunless children in China...now go and buy it.
I can't even use a rifle to deer hunt here in central Iowa, but a new Marlin 336XLR is next on my list as soon as the funds are built up. Some day they might change the rules...
If not, at least I'll have another gun.

.270 WSM? The .300 WSM is a success, but how much so will the .270 WSM be? I think the jury is still out. I think you're fairly well covered, I think you need a .458 Lott or a .22-250 Rem.

I should slap your hand for not signing a check when you were at the store!
My theory is you can never have too many guns.
When people ask me how many guns I own, I tell them not enough.
The 270WSM is probably the best short mag they made. The 25WSM would be even better if they'd just produce it commercially
