Those are all good choices, look at them, and throw in a Remington Model 700 BDL or CDL-SF into the mix for good measure. As for 308 vs. 270 WSM. I'd say both will serve you well. As a handloader, I'd probably go with the 270 WSM. If you don't plan on handloading, the 308 Win will be cheaper to shoot, ammo will be more available and offered in a wider selection of bullets than the 270 WSM.

The CDL-SF... IMO one of the nicest looking factory rifles available:



Looking at it it's not offered in 308 Win, but 30-06 Springfield is comparable and is offered. It is offered in 7mm-08 though, which is a great deer cartridge in itself.
