re: best all around deer rifle?

I've been shooting since a kid. All duck hunting with a sbe2 until recently i have sort of crept in to deer/big game where i will just borrow my dad's gun which is a 30-06. I have took a bit of a liking to the big game world so I'm a bit curious about all the different calibers of rifles and will probably buy one before next year cranks up again..


and yeah i just thought about the bomb i just dropped.. my bad. just looking for a little opinion
