Remington model-700.

Caliber for deer? Flip a coin. 25-06, 270, 280 or 30-06. There are a ton of short action or long action magnums that will do the trick also.

My go-to deer rifle is a Ruger M-77 chambered in 25-06.

Oh, that's easy: Marlin does - any flavor of their 336.

I use three rifles for deer hunting. I use my Marlin 336 35 Rem. when I know my shots are going to be under 100 yards or when I'll be hunting in deep thick woods or brush or when I'll be on the move. It's just a nice handy little rifle. I use my Remington 700 280 Rem. when I know my shots are going to be pretty long or if I'm going to be in a stand. I use my Winchester model 88 308 Win. when I'm not sure how I'm going to hunt. It's a cross between my two other rifles. Pretty quick handling, fast follow up shots, VERY accurate and still shoots flat for longer shots. Idon't think there is any such thing as "a bestdeer rifle". Just my $0.02. [/align]

That's like asking "who makes the best vehicle?". Can we compare 4WD trucks with $500,000 european cars?

Easy. Apart from resale, a 4x4 truck is a lot more useful than a Bentley (or whatever)
