That degends on what part of the country you are from. I am from Minnesota and it seems that more deer are taken with a .30-30 than any other rifle. I think that we can all agree that the best rifle is the one that will kill a deer. regaurdless of caliber or model

My favorite is the one that is best suited for the area that I hunt and for me the shooter. That is my Marlin 1895SS 45-70 with 300 grain JHP. The only adjustment I have ever had to make was in the weight and type of round going up to my 530 grain Garret Cartridges Hammerhead rounds.

I disagree with a 30-30 because it powers out after 100 yards and doesnt really expand. So I use a model 70 winchester in .30-06 with 165 grain home made ammo and nothing has ever ran 100 yards.
