Scope
First off, excellent choice on the .270! I hunt deer, groundhogs, and shoot target with a Rem .270 Sendaro back in PA. It's often an overlooked round. SIDE NOTE: I didn't think you could hunt deer in OH with a rifle anymore? I though it was only shotgun.
Anyway, as far as a scope, I'd go with a Leupold 4.5-14x50mm VX-III. I like the quality and the price. Your profile says your from Ohio, that's a lot like PA where I grew up and hunt whitetail every winter. Even if you are hunting fields 14x will be plenty and 4.5 will be alright for the running shots if it's not right on you. Thats what they make iron sights for right. This coming from a guy who used is 6.5-20x to hunt deer a few years back and shot one at 15 yards. I used that gun to hunt groundhogs all summer and I could pull up on 20x and be right on what I wanted to hit so I felt comfortable using it. I only use a flintlock anymore.
The 14x might be a little low for target but with the slightly higher resolution the 50mm system give you I don't think it won't be much of an issue. I you weren't using it for target I'd go with the 3.5-10 hands down.
Just my thoughts...
