Go buy a sightron S1 3-9 x 40. You won't regret the $250. Very bright optic for the money and will let you shoot well into the twilight.

My main hunting rifle is a standard .280. I reload and will happily shoot to 600m all day long. Takes a bit longer to get there than a 7 mag but I know what it's doing. Have comfortably shot deer and...

If you are confident with the .270 and the 7mm08, why change? Both will work well out to 400yds just fine on Tahr and Chamios.
