Default RE: What deer gun caliber?

The Savage rifle in 270Win. will do just fine for deer hunting. Ammo is readily available most anywhere, and not too expensive. Recoil is mild. The Savage is a good gun for the money. The Winchester may look a little nicer, but not likely to shoot any better, and generally costs quite a bit more. Save your money, and invest in good quality scope.
As to range with a 270Win., as noted it is certainly capable of some long range shooting
(400+ yds.), but unless you're practiced at those distances it's best to hold your shots to
300yds. or less - preferrably less.
My own personal favorite for a 270Win., though more expensive than a Savage, is the
Remington 700 LSS Mountain Rifle. Shoots real good too.
