I'm a huge 270 Win fan for Whitetail deer, and 270 Weatherby Mag fan for Western deer, and antelope farther away. I don't own a Custom Hunting rifle but I could not be more pleased with my Weatherby Mark V Ultralight Hunting Rifle. 5 and 3/4 pounds with a Krieger S/S Fluted 24 inch barrel. In 270 Win. The 130 Grn Ballistic tip are devastating on whitetail deer. Leupold VX 3 2.5X to 8X That is my go to Whitetail Deer Rifle. This December I will be taking the Mark V in 270 Weatherby Mag , with 26 inch barrel , to a shooting school to learn the correct technique to shoot out to `1000 yards. Perhaps next year take the Mark V in 270 Weatherby mag out west for Mule deer. That rifle currently has a VX 3 4.5X to 14 X . Nothing against the 308 or 30-06 , which I also own , I just think if deer is what your hunting mostly, and the rage is moderate , you will love shooting the 270 Win.
