Try posting in the Guns forum instead of the Review forum and you will get more answers. I' ll bite though, first off you won' t get a much more versatile catridge for varmints and deer than the 270 Win. You could go with a 243 Win but you lose out on the deer killing ability. You could try a 25-06 Rem but it is overshadowed by the 270 for deer as well. As far as what model, pick one. Savage makes a good rifle at a low price so you really can' t go wrong with any of them.
