    A 270 will cover both your varmint and deer - reloaded to 90gr is a reasonably recoiless load - and 130-150gr will knock anything over - spend on a basic good scope, no need for a fancy one.

    My best rifle is a wooded Sako, bought second hand - so cheapish and I dont worry about the knocks. Funnily of all the safe queens and fancy ones - the 270 is picked up most often, followed by a 22 magnum......bug my recommendation is a .22lr
