[QUOTE="VTbluegrass, post: 2285134, member: 104786"] I am a deer hunter and I did this a few years ago. Had a 270 and got a 7RM. It shoots lights out and was easy to develop loads for. What I do not like is the 26" barrel and 15 to 20 more grains of powder. If I was out West I am sure I would never notice but in box blinds, climbing tree stands, and bottom land swamps its just too much of a pain to carry so it hardly ever goes hunting. I would just consider your hunting style and area before picking a rifle. next rifle for me is either going to be a purposeful larger rifle or a short action with a heavier contour barrel 20-24" that will be fun to shoot.
