Ideal deer rifle setup under $2000

I own and use that scope. Never shot an x-bolt. That scope is great. I'm sure you could spend a grand on a better one, but for a midrange scope it's hard to beat imo.

I shoot a 300 WSM Xbolt. I love mine. I have the synthetic stock though, not the white gold.

My glass is a 4x16-50 Swarovoski z3

I love my setup and it has never let me down. Far better shooting than other out of the box setups that I have shot.

screw it.... cause if your spending 2k whats another couple hundred. buy a sako and put a 1" tube swarovski on it. thank me later...

With that budget I would get at least some Zeiss glass on top of your browning. I have a 7 mag browning medallion with a 3x9x50 Zeiss conquest. I think I paid 900 for the gun and 5-600 for the scope.

Whatever scope you get do yourself a favor and get a 50mm lens!

Check out the Kimber rifles. I have one in .204 an my next rifle rifle will be one too

i have a 270 wsm and like it, but it seems like finding ammo has been tough the last year or so. academy occasionally carries one type, but i don't see it often. bass pro usually has a couple of options.

I have a Thompson Icon 7mm with Nikon 4.5-14x40. Could go with 50mm oblective, I just don't like having to hold my head a little higher to look through scope

Weatherby Mark V in .257 wby mag. If just for deer. One of the best calibers you can get, very fast and flat. Zeiss scope.

Remington Model 700 w/ a great scope

Wow, some other people on the OB that shoot a rifle other than a remington 700. I have a A-bolt medallion in .270. The white gold model looks awesome.
