The best deer rifle is the one you are the most comfortable with, and confident in. The rest is personal choice . . . you know: Ford or Chevy!
One major consideration in my country, is what shells are they selling in the local stores? No sense in going with the 7mm-08 if you get to camp and find out you forgot to pack that box of shells! And the local furniture/pharmacy/appliance/music/sporting goods store only had 30-06 and 7mm mag. (Happened to a friend of mine).
