Gun Choice
I'm trying to make my final decision by tomorrow of which rifle I want to use for my primary rifle during deer season. I have a savage weather warrior model 116 in 7mm. mag with leupold 3-9x50 and a reming model 710 .270 with 3-9x40 bushnell. Have considered 7mag how it is, .270 how it is or putting the leupold on the .270? What would YOU do?

Simple. I would take the scope I like best and put it on the rifle I feel most comfortable with, sight it in at the range, double check it another day and go hunting with it. Either caliber will kill a deer just as dead as the other one.

I would say sell the Remington model 710 .270 with 3-9x40 bushnell.
And buy a savage in 270, and probbly have enaugh money left over to get another leuopld scope, or take the Bushnell off before selling the 710, and put on a savage.
Thats what I would do.
What ever you do Good Luck.

710
Despite what you all have heard or think about the 710, I've killed about a dozen deer with it. Its very accurate and I haven't had a single problem with it. The savage 116 is an amazing rifle but IMHO is big time overkill and it was passed on to me by my uncle who passed away of cancer.
