You didn't specify how much money you are looking to spend, or what type of action you prefer, but here is a recommendation. If a single shot is to your liking, look at the H & R Ultra Hunters. I have the 12 gauge H & R Ultra Slug Hunter, and have killed a whitetail at 150 yards with it. I also have an H & R Ultra Varmint in .223 that is really a tackdriver. These guns are really reasonably priced, and you canpick up other barrels for shooting alternate cartridges for them, for very cheap. I have found that single shots work really well for me, and since their is no bolt, the gun is much shorter for a given barrel length. The .243 is a wonderful round. Many others also. Its bigger brother the 7mm-08 is also a sweet round. This just moves you a little bit more towards big game hunting, and further away from varmint hunting but also does both well. The 120 grainers out of the 7mm-08 are quite a varmint killer, but for deer, the 140's are just the ticket. Good luck.
