A 270 would be fine for elk, as would a 280 ackley and a dozen other cartridges. Browning xbolt 2 looks pretty cool.
The reason to get a 7mag or 270 would be to get a tikka superlite, because it’s an excellent option that will give you money back for glass or to upgrade the stock, which is 100% the route I would take.
That said, this thread will be filled with people claiming the 7PRC doesn’t do anything the 7 mag doesn’t. Pick your bullet, see if it will load to a decent case length in a 7 mag chamber, and that will tell you which one you want. The part everyone overlooks in every “mah old .260 rem will do that” pissing match is that the PRC comes off the rack with all the shite already done to load anything, and the bullet is what matters.

my friends new Bergara 7PRC is pretty nice and real shooter, but good thing you handload, because shooting available Hornady ammo, every 3rd-4th shot was 1-1/2" off somewhere. Bergaras feel barrel-heavy to me, for Western hunting, weight is an issue, look at Tikka or a lightweight Vanguard.
Dont need them - 7 Rem Mags + 160 gr Partitions have been dropping animals DRT for 60 years. But that's boring. I handload and I get it. Most of my rifles are less-popular calibers because I like to tinker and improve things that aren't broken - that's what keeps me interested.
Go fondle some hardware, see what you like.
