walmart has a pretty good combo on a Winchester Model 70 in composite for a little over $300 i believe. it comes in the short magnum too. I' d go for the 270. it has a 3x9x40 scope mounted, although not sure what brand. looks like what you want to me. where you living in NC??? anywhere near Raleigh or Salisbury....i' ll come see if you got any deer....have fun and be safe
