7 mom 08 allows you to potentally buy the same bullets for it and the 7 mag if you reload. 7mm 08 has better ballistics than 308 for common ranges. harder to find round just getting popular
308 is a round that becomes scarce at times but is widely available on most walmart shelves normally and has lots and lots of data on different loads for different situations. 308 is a proven caliber that is a perfect fit for bolt action hunting rifles in N America. I own 2 and everything I have shot has fallen.
I have no experience with the 270 rounds but I know 270 wsm is not as readily available on store shelves and inversely does not disappear in a "gun scare"

Id get the 308 simply because of all the ammo available, if you reload the options are endless.
Id also throw out the 260 because Tikka makes one in the model you are looking at.

I have the T3 Lite in .270WSM and love it, although BP is right about the availabilty of ammo. The ammo that is available is also pretty pricey.
The reason i got the .270WSM is because I got tired of getting worn out by my .300Mag and the .270WSM ballistics are very close to the .300mag without the extra baggage.

I've whacked a shitton of critters over the years with the old Model 70 .270. Bullets always easy to find, and kills whitetails and such very effectively. Really good ballistics, especially when you dial in the ammo your gun likes.
Bought my youngest son a 7MM08 as his first gun, after a lot of research, because, admittedly, I wanted to be able to play with it too. Awesome gun-I've shot a couple animals with it on trips he couldn't go on and it's a sweet caliber, just harder to find ammo.
