First of all Darrell welcome to the forum.

That' s a smart decision you are making staying away from the Remington 710.You' re making a good choice going with a Savage.You asked about stainless vs. blued.The S/S is more durable and forgiving then the blued but it still needs to be cared for.I prefer the S/S over the blued.If for some reason you decide not to get the Savage look at the Ruger M-77' s. They are available in all different configurations. The scope rings are standard equipment,which will save you 50.00,75.00 or even a 100.00 depending on what base and rings you buy.You won' t go wrong with a Savage but thought I would give you another opition.One other thing if you are planning on putting a scope on your rifle save until you can get a good scope not a cheap one.The rifle can only be as good as the glass on it.Save and buy a Leupold. The 270 is a great deer cartridge. The 30-06 is more versitile and might be a better choice for you. Good Luck in your selection
