Winchester model 70 .308


Just don't get the lightweight model from Walmarks. I couldn't shoot more than 3 rounds before I gave up. And was picky as hell with ammo.

Remington 700s and Winchester 70s both have adjustable triggers (majority). The best deer calibers that are the most readily available in stores are .243, .270, .308, and 30-06. If you're a reloader, you can get pretty much anything, but I'm assuming you're not since most people aren't.

My dad has 3 model 700s (.243, .260, 30-06) and all three are great deer-getters. He also has 2 model 70s (.270 and .300 Win Mag) and both are excellent as well.

Any will work just fine but if you're trying to keep a tight budget, the Ruger M77 or Ruger American Rifle (a new rifle for this year) are great choices.

For a good entry-level scope, I would look into Redfield or Nikon. I have a new Redfield Revolution on my AR and it will shoot 1/2'' groups all day. The new Redfields are made by Leupold, so they are quality tubes.
