You are going to be asked a gazillion questions so let's get them out of the way:

1. Do you hand load?
2. What type of terrain do you hunt in?
3. Do you hunt any other game besides deer?
4. Do you stand hunt or walk, or both?
5. How much off season shooting do you do?
6. What is your mother's maiden name?

The 270, 30-06, and 7mm 08 will do everything you need to do for deer. Of those 3 I like the 7-08. I have 2 rifles and a handgun chambered for it and like them all. However if you have a burning desire to get the 7mm UM go for it. Depending on your answers to MOST of the above questions, it's probably not a practical choice. But sometimes, who cares about practicallity? I just told you I have three 7-08s.....the chambering is a practical choice but having three of them is probably not.

The rifle I tote more than any lately is a Rem Alaskan Ti in .280 Rem. My hunting is 100% walking.

All that said, I have never owned a 7mm UM. I did have a 7mm STW in a Sendero and really enjoyed it. Only reason I sold it was because somebody wanted it worse than I did and was willing to pay for it. I will have another someday. Why? Just cuz.......
