I am so proud of this board right now. There's usually a couple guys insisting on a 7 mag.
I am a rabid 270 win fan. Favorite caliber of all time and IMO the best round out there for white tail. It's marginal for elk, but it can be done.
I would look at Browning a-bolt or x-bolt. Both are great rifles. I love the medallions.
Remington 700 bdl Very nice.
Winchester model 70, all fine rifles.

Chicken needs to give us a price range...

Yeah, the gas mileage sucks with them boggers on there, but I never get stuck no mo!

Only thing I don't really like about my Remington 700 ADL 7mag is having to eject each and every shell because it doesn't have a detachable magazine or a hinged drop plate for removing them. But as far as killing things it's money. BUT i bought mine before everyone factory tested and sold these subMOA models when cheap guns were made the same as expensive guns just without shiny finishes.

and i'm usually one of them,, but that's for me, not for someone new and handing it off to a young child in the near future..

I would never suggest a 7mm fig. 300 win for me.

My 7 mag (now retired) was an ADL.
someone gave me a BDL stock for it, and I glass bedded it and converted it.

Run to Katy and go to Bass Pro.

so, let's assume I want a .270 or a 30-06, what are the good models to consider?
I know of Winchester, Remington, Weatherby, Browning...I like the classic wood-grain look.
Seems like the choices are endless...how to narrow it down?
It comes down to personal preference. Honestly all of those are great guns. Hold them all for a while and go with the one that feels "better" in your hands. I promise any of those will shoot just fine. When it comes to accuracy, be more concerned about optics. You'd be better off buying a standard priced rifle like the Rem. 700 and investing in a quality scope if you want a fine rifle. Don't buy a $1200 rifle and put a $150 Walmart special scope on there and expect to get the maximum effectiveness out of the rifle. For the same amount of money you could buy an $800 rifle and a decent $400 scope and be much better off.

Get it. You'll be very happy with that.
The win model 70 .30-06 is an american legend.
ETA: Don't worry about the barrel length. Rifles don't get "too long" until they start wearing 26+" barrels

The difference will be minimal, maybe slightly and I mean no one on this earth slightly would be able to tell the difference but the 24" barrel will have a little more muzzle velocity of the projectile.

Yes it is. Get it Chicken. Get it.

Muzzle brake FTW. Assuming that's what you mean?

You might be over analyzing this for your first rifle. Just saying
