The Browning A-bolt rifles are nice, I have one in a 270WSM. The recoil isn't bad at all. Of course the standard 270 is an option as well. I'd also check out the Tikka Whitetail Hunter line. It receives a lot of positive comments on this and other forums. In the area of "shoots great but don't look too pretty", Savage rifles are also well regarded for their out of the box accuracy. They're likely to be the least expensive of the three choices I've mentioned. Money saved can be put into a nice scope.
