I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.

As a Ruger shooter...I'd recommend the Tikka

As a guy who does a lot of Horseback hunts I chose a 40 MM objective for less leg bulk in saddle scabbard.

As a one rifle guy, I chose a premium bonded bullet weight for elk and shoot everything with it. If you know your drop, velocity and energy you know your max range to be deadly. Now just practice to be deadly with accuracy to beyond that.

Tikka t3x lite stainless, Sportsmatch or UM rings, and a SWFA 3-9x42 for a bombproof setup.

Great choice on .270. Most of the new 'fad' calibers were designed to compete with the .270. Yet 270 still one of the best calibers made. Fast, flat, power etc. Kill anything in north america. That being said go with the Tikka. The action itself is worth the buy. Go stainless.
