[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 659029, member: 29966"] At those distances (out to 400) a 2-7 will be fine for deer and antelope, but most people want as much magnification as they can get. I personally love the 4-16 range or even a 3-12. At most of those ranges you won't ever need to dial because slight holdovers is all you'll need. A scope with a bdc reticle of some sort can help you feel more confident when you hit the 400 yard mark with the 270. If you were only going with one scope to cover everything you mentioned (including the 600 yard weekend shoot) I'd probably go with a SS 3-9 or one of the Vortex Viper series if you want to dial your shots, if you want to holdover there are many companies with reticles that can give you holdover references and my personal favorite is the Burris Ballistic MilDot offered on a few of their scopes.
