I'd like to buy a bolt action hunting rifle in 270 win. I'd like to keep it under $2k for the rifle and scope although that's somewhat arbitrary. A few hundred more isn't going to be a big deal.
This is going to primarily be a whitetail deer rifle. I generally won't be shooting past 300 yards.
I've been thinking about a leupold scope (maybe a vx-3?) but I honestly don't have a clue when it comes to the rifle. I do know that I want a synthetic stock, but beyond that I really don't follow bolt action guns enough to really know the differences between the numerous choices from Remington, Browning, Weatherby etc.
Should I go Rem 700? X-bolt? Mark V? Whose factory synthetic stocks are worth a darn? Should I go with an aftermarket stock? There's so many options out there my head has been spinning trying to figure out what I want.
I really appreciate any input. Thanks.
