For the deer in CA 7mm should be about tops in caliber. A 300 does to much damage to the small deer we have. Since you will most likely be using NON-lead bullets having to much power will just punch a hole through the animal and not expand like the lead bullets do. Got to save those 3 Mexican Condors you know. Most any rifle you buy will do the job. The newer inexpensive rifles are great deals for new shooters that are not planning on hunting every season or even year. It really depends on what you want to spend from about $1000 and up or for a Remington or Savage or other package gun that some with rings and scope and bore sighted. For example, a Remington 770 with a Bushnell 3X9 will run you about $340 + tax and DROS fee. All will do the job so it really depends on what you wnat to spend. Rugers come with rings so that is one expense you won't have and also the Tikka usually come with rings and bases built into the receivers. If you want to talk PM me your phone #, best time to call and I will call you.
