I was originally going for the 270 but started considering the other two for their reduced recoil. Any advice would be appreciate, thanks.
7mm-08 and Creedmoor are both fine, a .308 would be versatile as well. The people advocating the 7x57 and 257 Bob+P have a point. Choose what you will but you might find the deal best in the 308 and 7mm-08. Then you have more $ for scouting trips, my favorite part.
