If it is your first hunt, borrow a rifle from a buddy/relative. Are you an experienced shooter? How big/strong are you? What are YOU comfortable shooting/handling? Where/how do you hunt? Most states don't allow you to hunt deer with less than a .243, which will take down a deer in the right situation. A 30.06 will too, but might dislocate your shoulder if you aren't careful. MY suggestion, and take it for what it's worth, borrow first. If you REALLY want to buy, a .270 is a great start. Be smart with your money, figure out what works for you & you will enjoy the hunt much more!!! Good luck & take a safety course if you are a beginner.<br><b>References : </b><br> I wouldn’t buy anything yet.

There isn't just one answer. If you're hunting open land, I would suggest something like a Remington 700 in .270 or .308 If you're a hunting heavily forested area or hill country where shooting will be limited to 200 yards or less. You might consider a Marlin Model 336 30-30 http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/centerfire/336c.aspx<br><b>References : </b><br> Like several have said. There isn’t just one answer.

A short carbine with a fair scope for the brushy area, and a bolt action with a good scope for the open area. Back when I hunted deer (quit in '82) I had (still have) a Remington mod. 742 in 30.06 with a Bushnell 3x9 that I used in the woods. But out in the clear cuts I used a Golden Eagle 30.06 mod 7000 with a fancy scope that had a range finder and bullet drop compensator. The range was 100-875 yards. Don't know why I bought that fancy rig, hell- I can't see 100 yards.<br><b>References : </b><br> Tommy said it right-

I suggest not less than a .243 even if it's legal where you plan to hunt. I prefer the .270. for it's flat shooting and 1 shot stopping power. Lot's of folk will recommend a 30-06 though that's a little overkill for deer bit they are cheap, readily available and accurate. For build quality and accuracy I like the Ruger M77 Mk.2. That's what I judge others against. It's good value for money and if cared for will last more than a lifetime. Ian M<br><b>References : </b><br> No right or wrong answers but 1000s of opinions.
