A Tikka Hunter in .270 and a Leupold scope is a combination that will last you a lifetime. Excellent choices on all. Probably the only thing I would have done differently was git it in a 30-06. Nothing wrong with the .270 (I love that cartridge and killed a lot of game with it) but the old 06 is a bit more versatile if you plan on taking bigger game. But then again, that would be reason enough to get another rifle....
