RE: semi auto for deer
ORIGINAL: Hard Luck
My favorite all time semi for deer is a Winchester 100 .308But it takes some tinkering to get it to work right. The very best deer rifle I own is a Browing bar carbine with wood stock in 06 shoots better than any gun has a right too ! But, it is a little bulky and heavy. I've never cleaned it in 20 yrs and it just keeps on working with 3 shot groups running 3/8 inch at 100 with about anything you put in it. I've killed about a 150 deer with it.

RE: semi auto for deer
Another alternative, this is what I use as a semi auto deer gun.
For hunting I use either a 10 or 5 round mag. While not a target rifle it is certainly accurate enough for most hunting I do. Oh, it is a Saiga 308 w/16" barrel and Tasco Pro Point scope.
