RE: my first rifle
I have a Savage 111270 Win. with the Accutrigger and it shoots great! You'll bepleased and well served with that rifle!
That said, had a 30-06 Spfd. been available when I bought the 270 Win, I would have bought the30-06 Spfd.instead.
Buy yourself a Ken Farrell one piece scope base, replace the cheap scope that comes on the rifle and you'll be set.
