I'd go with a good used Rem 700. I like early 700's, but they don't have glass stocks. If the guy were to use iron sights only, a Ruger 77 stock works well. There stocks are not designed for scopes, their comb is too low, however a 270 is such a light kicker he maynot notice.
I don't care for Savages. From what I've seen there's a lot of issues with feeding.
A Tikka is OK too, not as good as a 700, IMHO.
Finally, a Winchester 70 is also a good choice as is a CZ.
