The Model 94 Winchester is a classic rifle. Prior to 1964 (when they started manufacturing them in a cheaper way) they were extremely well built. So, the one you have from the 1950s should be a good one.
The Remington 700 is the most popular American made bolt action of all time. Also, with .270 you have a nice flat shooting cartridge that can really reach out there. A buddy got a nice buck at over 400 yards with a .270.
My main hunting rifle is a Tikka in .308 Winchester. It is super accurate and has a good range. For tight bush I have a Ruger Deerfield Carbine in 44 Magnum. It has similar power to a 30-30 at close range with a big 240 grain bullet. It is also a semi-auto for a quick follow-up shot, if needed.
