RE: Which scope for 30-06 (deer rifle)?
I'd endorse the Leopold recommendation, but I'd recommend going with the 2-7x. I think it's a more practical power range for deer hunting. 2x gives you a good close range, tight brush option. And if you can't see antlers at 7x, you won't see them at 9x. I usually end up shooting at 4x most of the time anyway.
