I am contemplating getting my first rifle for deer hunting. I do not know much about them but have been picking up things here and there on the forums. I would like something I can also shoot for accurate plinking in the off season. Maybe throw in a pig or two on trips to Texas. I am wondering if the Remington 700 sps stainless and the 700 xcr are basically the same gun shooting wise. Take away the fancy grip stock and the corrosion protection of the xcr and do you end up with a sps.
I am thinking of a .270 or .308
I have a scope so no need to save dollars for that.
Other OBJECTIVE suggestions welcome. I have about $650 to $700 to spend. I will search the auction sites and internet to find the best deal.
Thanks in advance
