Default Which Gun to Go with

I'm looking to get a new Deer Hunting Gun. The gun will be mainly used for white-tails here in WI where a long shot for me would be 150 yards. I do have plans to go out west to try for Elk and Mule deer. Can I get buy with buying one gun for both needs. Also, I prefer a bolt action and would like to get a bolt action with a clip. How about a compostite stock with a stainless steel barrel? Any help here?

How about a Remington 700 BDL SS DM. It is a bolt action stainless rifle with a detachable box magazine. Remington chambers it for .270 Win, .280 Rem, 7mm Rem Mag, 30-06 and .300 Win Mag. Any of these cartridges would be a great choice.

Here is a link that will take you to Remington's online catalog page for this model:

I've got a Rem Sendero stainless fluted in 300 Rem ultra mag and love it. very accurate. But if it's mainly for deer i would say go with a 7mm Rem not too much for deer yet not too small for elk. You will apperitiate the energy and flat trajectory when tour looking at a muley from 300yds away.

Can't go wrong with the Remington 700. I'd go with .243, 7mm Magmum, .270.

I would go with the .270 , 30-06 or 7mm mag. Ruger makes a "All Weather model" M-77 and lots of calibers to choose from.Stainless steel with the synthetic stock. I would recommend the new synthetic stock opposed to the older one.The Remington 700's are also great bolt actions. See which one fits you right and take it from there. Ruger Redhawk

Either .270, .30-06, or 7mm mag will do you right. I would stay away from the real big guns.
