[QUOTE="XRpredator, post: 287491, member: 19389"] Ah, the lure of the hunt . . . :) Personally, I'd go with the .30-06. Good all around gun. I use either it or a 7mm Rem Mag. But, when I'm deer hunting, I'm also elk hunting since the seasons overlap, so I like to have a rifle that will do all. I'd like a 300 Win Mag, but that's definitely overkill for deer! Now, if all I were hunting were deer, the .270 would be the way to go. And like said before, they'll kill purt near anything just as dead as any other rifle. It's all about shot placement. As far as the actual rifle, Remington now has what's called the 710. It comes chambered for either .270 or .30-06 (either one of which gives you a very wide range of ammo choices) with a synthetic stock and a matched, mounted, and boresighted Bushnell scope, all for just over $400. That's a heckuva deal, since the scope's included, and it's basically a 700, which a lot of people say is the most accurate out-of-the-box rifle out there. But no matter what you get, get a bolt action. Probably the safest bet as far as actions, also requiring the least maintenance. As for finding someone to hunt with, you may do well to hang out at the gun shop or sporting goods store to find someone. Trouble is, most of us are pretty secretive about where we hunt, so we're real selective about who we take with us! ;) [/QUOTE]
