Try and find a good old Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 in 30'06 and never look back.

Savage 340 .30-.30 my great uncle gave me when I was 13.

Not my gun but is exactly the same.

Remington 700 in .270 .. the gun my mother gave my father on their fifth anniversary. Sweet gun, scoped.

I have used my brother's scoped .300 savage (model 99 I think) with rotary magazine in the past ... used to be my mother's father's as well as my father's open site .303 Ross (accurate deer rifle, terrible trench gun).

You can probably find a used level action Marlin 30-30 for reasonable. Great for any deer up to 200 yards, especially with the new Hornady ballistic ammo. Close in shooting is probably best with blunt tip bullets for the knock down power. Bullets normally about half of that for my .30-06 and son's .270 ammo Few areas that I hunt really benefit the longer range capabilities of the .270 or the .30-06. Heavy brush, less than 20 yards, can't beat 00 Buck shot in my Browning 12 gauge, 3 inch shells. Only drawback is longer barrel makes swinging in brush less favorable than a shorter barrel would be.

Proud owner of a Ross Mk III here.

A perfect battle rifle...as long as the battle's at Camp Perry or someplace indoors!
