Just picked up my first bolt rifle today, with the intent on med-long range plinking and taking up deer hunting next season. Convinced myself i wanted a .308 rem 700 of some flavor, but the guy behind the counter convinced me that for deer in my area, 270 was the way to go. instead of the entry level ADL, i splurged and picked up a used, but barely used Remington 700 Sendero in 270. It came with a H-S Precision stock, 26 inch heavy barrel, very similar to varmit offerings from remington. but i see online that they only offer it in a stainless fluted version now...
I guess my questions are this-
1-should i have stuck with my intent and gotten a 308? I am not familiar with many rifle rounds...is there an advantage in the 270?
2-any info out there on this Sendero 270? any reason it's not made anymore? I paid $525 for it and it's in great shape.
pardon the ignorant questions, i am brand new to rifles.
cheers,
Derek
