RE: who makes the best rifle for whitetail deer?
 

Personally, I like the dearly departed Winchester! However, my answer to who makes the best Whitetail rifle, is that you are putting the horse before the cartridge. Most new guns are capable of out-shooting the average shooter, so to me the caliber will be more important than the gun brand. Take into account the terrain, shooting ranges, decide on a caliber that fits your needs, decide on a gun type, and then decide on the gun brand.

i've hunted with remingtons,savages,winchesters,nef's,mossbergs and now my favorite is a tikka t3 270 win. being a lefty you just can't beat tikka's price for what you get. light weight,great trigger,weather proof and very accurate.

RE: who makes the best rifle for whitetail deer?
 

I have hunted with Rugers, Marlins, T/C Encores, Blasers, and Sauers in calibers ranging from 223 to 300 WSM. My current go-to guns are a Blaser R-93 in 308, Marlin 336SS in 30-30, and a Sauer 202 in 270 WCF.

In my opinion, the brand of rifle is a personal preference, and any caliber in the 270, 308, 30-06 range will work great.
