Rifle suggestion
After 6 years of hunting with my Remington 870 I've decided it's time to buy a rifle. I don't want to spend a whole lot of money so I'm leaning on getting the Savage Model 111; I've heard good things about it. What do you guys think? Also I'm still debating on whether to get a .270 or a .30-06. The gun would be used for deer hunting. Any thoughts??

RE: Rifle suggestion
I killed my first deer with a 30-06 and my second with a 270-and I was 14 years old... It's all preference really, recoil is slightly more with the 30-06 and has more knock down power. If used for elk the 270 might be a tad light. That being said the 270 still has some balls as yesterday I blew apart a cantaloupe sized hole in a doe who dropped.

If your truly going to use it for deer only, I'd get the .270 out of the choices you gave us.If I were going whitetail hunting tomorrow, I'd grab my .243. If I were going mule deer hunting tomorrow, I'd grab my .270.
If you start talking about smaller than deer game or larger than deer game, the discussion could go on forever. That's why I own a .243, .270, 30.06, and several more.

Keep in mind that I have never purchased anything from these sites, just use them as reference. Able ammo is fast and very user friendly.
