This deer huntin season ive been asked to hunt on my friends college professors property. He has 400 acres and he uses quite a bit of it for crops that he grows for personal use (hes a vegetarian lol) he is tired of the deer eatin his crops and he says there are a ton of them so im pretty excited about this season. he donates any extra meet so he isnt against killin animals or one of those **** nuts he is just a health nut. Im wondering which gun would be better i will be on the edge of a field facing the field but i occasionally go to other properties that are all woods so i wont be shootin much into a very wooded area. I have been look at .270 .270 short mag and 30-06 which do yall like better and reasons why and also any pros and cons. I am open to suggestions on other caliber rifles also. I have been huntin for a few years now and have shot 12 gauge slug shotguns and a 30-06 i have just used my current huntin buddies gun and never have purchased my own. i am goin to my buddys place to shoot a couple of his to see if any of those feel better he has a 270 short mag, 35mm and a 7mm. I dont have a ton of money so i am lookin for something more um "economical" lol and if i get a used rifle what brand and caliber has a better track record of overall better performance.
which rifle is better for this situation

Love my savage .308! I've shot everything from coyotes to 350 pound boar hogs. The load selection is great. I have everything from 110 grain ballistic tips for varmints all the way to 180 grain for thickets when im hog hunting. My personal favorite is around a 150 grains. Should be great for what your doing

Well I know they make a .416 and a couple other calibers. I couldnt remember if they were "warbirds" or not. It is ported but not near the recoil I was expecting
