I would chose a 7mm Rem. Mag over the 270 IF you can handle the recoil. It has a bit more reach and reasonably more energy downrange. The .270 Win is a great round but the 7mm RM does everything a bit better. Plus it'll leave you the option of going for Elk if you want someday. I"ve seen too many elk shot with 270's and, although most of them were tasty, I've seen them go further than when shot with bigger calibers.
