I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect deer rifle. I say this because you basically settle on the best compromise since no rifle is "perfect" for every situation. I like a Savage 116 in 300 Win Mag. It is great for hunting long pipelines and open fields, but not necessarily that good in tight quarters for close-range shots. That is why I also have other guns in various chamberings and action types.
