I currently use a Browning A bolt .270and I am thinking about switching to a Ruger M77 .308but I have never had any experiece with a .308. Has anyone had experiece with both? Which if eitheris better for deer, probably for shots under 200 yards?
Not knowing the details of your situation, I'm tempted to suggest that you keep the rifle but put any extra money into a good scope.
Either a .270 or a .308 will kill deer aplenty. (Remember: A hundred years ago, deer-hunting technology was a lot less advanced, yet deer died by the zillions.)
