I'd say the unpopular .280 if ammo didn't cost and arm and a leg. I'm with ya on the .270 brother. Best guns I have ever shot.

i dont think there is the"best" deer caliber. there are TONS of calibers that will work great. you can go with a 30-30 or somethin like a 45-70 if you wanted to. its all personal choice. yeah i'd have to say .270 or 30-06 is a great deer round. but i still think its all personal choice. what do you like shooting better.

for strictly deer and nothing else other than antelope i'll go with the 25-06.

but overall best cartridge imo for anything in north america i'll go with the 30-06.
