RE: deer rifles
I shoot a .270. I love it. I agree, i dont need anything bigger. Im a little worried about taking it out to Colorado elk hunting this year. But i am very good with it. I can drive tacks with it. But I think i am worried for no reason. I like it a lot better then a 30/06 because it is flatter shooting and better for longer ranges. For whitetails 30/06 is plenty big. I can see maybe a .300 in colorado elk hunting or something. But definatly not for deer.
