Ask any hunter what they would consider the top deer hunting rifle, and you would most probably receive a wide range of answers. You would also probably find some hunters willing to concede that it will depend on the environment you’ll be hunting in, or in the game you will be hunting. The discussion could then head into the direction of the differences of cartridges, and how one rifle can be better than another in a given situation.

If you’ve been hunting for a while, you’ve probably had this discussion yourself with your fellow hunters. If you’re a novice, you may have found yourself overloaded with so many different opinions, that you found it difficult to have one of your own.

Deer Hunting RiflesIt’s easy to realize that buying a hunting rifle is an investment. Selected wisely good rifle can serve you well through the years, bringing home not only memories, but also good harvests and maybe a few trophies. A good rifle, even one of the top rifles, purchased without considering some factors however, may end up as decoration in your home, or worse, a liability on the field.

One of the things to consider is what animal will you be hunting? A rifle that is good for elk or moose may not be as effective for whitetails or mule deer. Terrain will also be a related consideration, as the specific animal you may want to hunt will be found in specific kinds of terrain. Will you be able to take only short-ranged shots, or will you have the opportunity to take longer-ranged hunting? This can determine the type of cartridge you prefer, and maybe the action of the rifle you choose.

The next thing to consider is the recoil of the rifle. Some hunters won’t agree with this, and I can understand their point – when you’re in the hunt, you won’t feel the recoil because you’ll be pumped up with adrenaline. But recoil can affect your aim, and may also turn off novice hunters, particularly for rifles with stronger recoil. In addition, when you are practicing with your rifle, and everyone will agree you will want as much time to practice with it as you can, you won’t be adrenaline filled. As a last note, lower recoil weapons tend to have longer barrels – which make the rifle heavier and maybe more difficult to carry on longer hunts.

In my opinion, the last considerations involve the rifle stock, and finishes of the rifle. Natural wooden stocks are generally thought to feel better to the hand of a hunter, while synthetic materials can be cheaper and less affected by the environment. Natural stocks are thought to be more accurate, but you may want to consider a balance for accuracy, feel and environmental factors. The material the rest of the rifle is made of can also determine its susceptibility to the environment.

My husband wants to go deer hunting when the season begins. This would be his first time hunting. We don’t know what rifle to get. Is 30-30 a good choice? Or any other rifles that would be best for deer hunting?

Look into a 308 or 270, sorry I am not much of a 30-30 or 30-06 fan.
