Looking at picking up the Savage Lightweight Hunter and wanted some advice on which cartridge to pick as the rifle is only offered in a 20" barrel configuration.
I initially wanted the .270, but figured it would be less than optimal out of the 20" pipe.
This will be primarily my mountain deer gun with some use for elk as well. Would like it to be effective out to 400yds or so.
Other chamberings in the running are 7mm08, .308, 6.5 Creed.
Thanks in advance!
