sounds like quite the variety - i am kinda leaning towards the tika stainless/laminate 270 wsm. seems like this would be an excellent gun and i am already very pleased with the tika.

Rem 700 270win Stainless
130gr Hornaday SP
Great deer gun or anything gun. You could put in a 150gr partition and drop an elk or kill anything in north america with a 270 win.
Ive got 5 deer on mine last year and all but 1 buck were retrieved 30yrds from whereI shot em andI flat out made a bad shot on the buck.

7mm Mag if you like alittle bite with your bang or a 270 are both great weapons

I would suggest 270 or .30-06, both great deer rifles, slight nod to the .30-06 in available grains and versatility.
