Folks posting on this forum typically disagree to some extent....however this is not the case with the Remington 710. Absolutely everyone is negative on that gun.

IMO both the .270 and the .30-06 are overkill for deer. However the .30-06 will also take you elk hunting!!!

For deer I like the .257 Roberts, the .25-06, the .260 Rem, and don' t forget the .243 Win...it' s been doing the job for a long time!!!
