I have a quite a few hunting rifles and I just bought a new one.  I bought it for hunting up in the adirondacks.  Where you walk a lot more than you shoot, Plus I'm over 50 and have a few too many pounds.  I bought a Ruger light weight in a .270 and added a 4X Nikon buckmaster scope.  I dismantled the trigger and honed it on a knive sharpening stone according to the directions I've read on here.  It was easy to do, I used a trigger guage and did it slowly so as not to overdo it.  I also lapped the scope rings before sighting in.  I haven't used the rifle to hunt deer yet.  But it shoots nice and feels like you're carrying a .22 magnum.  Ruger offers it in several calibers.  I'm real happy with it.

I'd look for an older Sako in 308 or 270 winchester...A high Quality used gun is a better value in my opinion...I found an old sako hunter in 270 a few years back I wanted to convert it to 35 Whelen..Well I shot the thing just for ha ha s ...One hole groups with that old sporter at 100yds..I was so impressed I cancelled the custom barrel for it..Found a newer SS Savage 270 sporter & converted it to the Whelen cartridge by myself..Keep your eyes open for older well cared for guns...I think they represent the best value/quality for the money...You can add a syn stock to most any gun these days for short money..mike in ct

The Sako 75 is a fantastic out-of-the-box rifle and would suggest having the custom shop chamber it for .257 Weatherby.

Which Gun

Depends on how much money you want to spend.  Savage is putting out a good gun, I don't have one but several people do and they say they love it.
