RE: looking for 270 for first deer gun
For your scenario the regular .270 will fit the bill nicely. However, if in the future you want more thump to hunt larger game then you can get the .270WSM right off the bat and use that. I'm in the middle of getting one right now from beebecl, a Savage 12FVSS in .270WSM. I'll be sure to leave feedback on that and give a report on the rifle when I get it.
