[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 1904698, member: 111184"] Welcome 308, I have a Remington 700 BDL 7mm mag and have several one-shot elk kills with it using Federal Premium 160gr Nosler Partitions. I bought it in 1976, and it will stay in my family. It’s recoil does not bother me hunting. I’ve put in a Timney trigger and bedded the action. It shoots .5 MOA or better when i check my scope before hunting, Your 270 or 308 (I have a Tikka .270 and a Ruger .308) or lower wt 7mm bullets will work well for deer. There is a wide selection of factory ammo, and my 7mm mag shoots several with high accuracy. My .270 Tikka is a great mountain rifle for trekking. I have a T3 Stainless Lite, and its light weight does increase recoil, but it is manageable in a .270. A friend went for 300WM Tikka, and the recoil was too much. [/QUOTE]
