Some people scoff at the 7mm08 just like the .270 but they'll both take out deer when used right.

My 10c is figure out your budget and used half for you rifle and scope and the other half on gear. there's no point having the best rifle you can buy if your soaked through lost in the middle of the bush.
That Remy is nice but its like paying twice for a car cos its got mags and tints, sure it looks cool but that extra won't get you the deer

Better yet borrow your uncles rifle for a year or two. that gives you time to really work out what you want and save for it

p.s. more deer have been shot with .303 than all the other calibers put together.

Did you copy n paste that from like 10yrs ago ???
