I am new to hunting and looking for a good rifle. I am looking to spend $400-$600. And was thinking more along the lines of a 270 or 7mmag. I am a large stature person and can handle the recoil. But this rifle will be only used for whitetail deer. And was leaning more towards a Weatherby Vanguard or a Remington 700. The ranges in which I will be hunting are 250 yard and under as I do not feel comfortable with a longer shot. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
