There is no better deer rifle on this planet than the 270. It has it all when it comes to deer hunting. Available Ammo, acceptable recoil, Instant kills. Shoots Flat, Shoots fast. Load it with 130 grain Federal Fusion ammo and you will be on the top of the heap. I also have a 308 Browning A-Bolt. Great deer rifle. I have owned five 7 MM Mags. Just way more than I ever found use for while deer hunting. Recoil and Muzzle blast is not worth it to ME. Like someone said, if you can, shoot all three before you decide. Good Luck.
