RE: All around rifle.
the savage is your best bet, 110 or 111, but i'de have to say instead of a .270 or .30-06 go for a .280 rem. it will out perform the .270 win. and .30-06 in down range performance and has more bullet weight and styles for handloading than the .270 does, or at least the last time i checked as i have all three of these calibers in my cabinet at home. jack o'connor himself later in life actually preferred it over the .270 win.. as for the savage rifle, at that price you also have the option of a synthetic stock which is very weather and cold resistant and won't warp when it's wet like wood does.
