or savage 7mm-08, probably a little less kick, but still a good deer gun.

RE: My first deer rifle
i havent come across a savage 7mm yet. what do they go for. i'll be hunting in KY.

RE: My first deer rifle
Cant go wrong with a Rem. Mod. 700, and for kick and a great cal try a 7MM Mag.

RE: My first deer rifle
Another option is a 243win. I have takenfive mule deer and an antelope with a Remington model 700BDL in 243win. Using Remington 100gr. Core-Lokt factor ammo. The last mule deer was a 5x5 and harvested at 250yds. This cartiridge has light recoil and is good for deer and varmints. My son will be using it this year for deer. While I will be using the new 270wsm. As far as Brand name of gun is to handle all of them to see what fits you. Then after you get whatever rifle you get,go out and shoot to get familar with the rifle.

RE: My first deer rifle
im hoping to get something pretty cheap as well. i dont think i will be using it for very long. in a few years i am hoping to get a new gun.

RE: My first deer rifle
I would try to get a used Browning rifle. I would not recommend a Remington, or at least not thesemi-autos.My first rifle was a Remington 243 and never bought another one. Have two Browning BAR 308s now, one of which is 30+ yrs old and still shoots sweet.

30-06 best all around cartridge for game in the US...
many bullet sizes to suit your hunt...if you reload that is. |
