RE: looking for 270 for first deer gun
Go with a 270 Win.A couple of rifles I might suggest are a Remington 700 ADL or the Ruger M-77. I have a Remington mentioned and it's proved to lay them low.The Savage is a great rifle for the money.Being your first rifle I wouldn't go overboard buying a high dollar rifle until you decide what you really want. The Brownings are great rifles.I might suggest a 30-06. They are a good all around cartridge.Get a caliber where you'll be able to find most places.Some of the newer cartridges maybe harder to find.Example I went to Wally World the other day. I asked for 7mm08. The woman looked at me like I was crazy.She never heard of them.They carry all of the common calibers,not saying the 7mm08 isn't but that's one she didn't have a clue about.Yes she looked under the counter.
Ruger Redhawk
