We need to know your total budget (rifle, scope, mounting hardware, etc)
ETA: And don't overstate what you want to spend. No matter the number you post we will come up with a setup that is toeing the line.
There are LOADS of good options out there in pretty much every price range.

Yes you can. Rustington blows now. IF you can find a pre-freedom group one, then I suggest you buy it.

I'll put in for the Remington 700 too. Even though mine is the lower end, I wouldn't trade it for a thing. I'm actually looking for a good deal on a CDL at the moment. Can't go wrong.
I'm confused here.

I'm a big fan of Tikka's and also of the Browning X-Bolts and own more than one of each,but the Winchester's are known as the Rifleman's Rifle for a reason. Something just flat screams classic deer rifle like a wood stocked Model 70 .270. That ain't no natural light drinker's deer rifle right there

I am partial to my browning a-bolt with B.O.S.S. hasn't let me down yet and is a pleasure to shoot not to mention really accurate with 130 grain ballistic silver tips.

Ahhhh, good call. No self respecting man would shoot a .270.
I've never deer hunted before but am looking to get into it. I asked a friend who hunts (with bow as well) about what caliber gun to get. He mentioned a .270 is a good option because it can take down deer and elk. I thought I read these have power to shoot pretty far too.
So can you explain why .270 isn't ideal? Or maybe explain the best 2-3 options?

Don't listen to him. .270 is a phenomenal caliber that is more than capable of killing deer and elk from quite a distance.

I'll throw in a vote for the Winchester Model 70

I know you're trolling, but I hate you anyway.

Next question is barrel length...22" or 24"?
Posted on 10/26/16 at 6:00 pm to ChatRabbit77
I don't see a thing in the world with thst set up.
I just got my boys a 7mm08 in a Ruger American with that Vx-1 and love it. Great set up for folks in La

Anytime you hear somebody bad mouth the .270win, they're either trolling or stupid so ignore them.
It is one of the best all around southeastern US calibers.
