That is an excellent price for the rifle & scope combo. It's a good price for just the rifle. The 270 WM is an excellent round and Federal has two loads available for it now. A 130 gr. Nosler solid base and a 140 gr. TBBC. You also have all the loads available from Weatherby. The ballistics are great and for deer and antelope you aren't going to get a flatter shooter. The cartridge will also cleanly take elk also.
