the 270 is a great round and for deer it is all you will ever need. if you think you may hunt something larger in the near future and want to use this rifle i would look into the 280 because of the larger range of bullet weights

i use a 243 deer are not tuff animals to kill and i don't take shots over 200 yards so this is all that i need and it is great.

i have a 270 and a 243 my dad uses the 270 and i use the 243. i have found that when you shoot deer they do not care when they die if it is a 243 or 270 that did them in.

however there are plenty more good calibers out there for deer.
257,25-06,7mm08,260,308,30-06 and so on. you don't need any mag. caliber to kill any deer

my personal choice as an outstanding outfit would be a remington model 7 SS in 243,7mm08 or 308 with a leaupold rifleman 3-9x40
