My personal favorite is 270 and the one I own is a Remmy. there's a gozilliion of them out there at whatever price you want to pay. but you can kill just about anything in North America with a 270.
Most all rifles are right around the 30 caliber range though and you might find a buddy that you can visit a range with and try 'em out.

Well, I type too slowly I guess and missed the other answers ... but it looks like a common theme going here.

I was typing my last post and got distracted and didn't get it up before all the replies.
I'd seen a lot of mentions of the 270 here and I was interested to see what e everyone's opinion was since a lot of you have a LOT more experience with the rifles then I do. I've got my 870 slug gun with a rifled barrel and a 2.5 - 5X Leupold shotgun scope on it and it's sighted in at 75 yards. Most of the deer I've killed have been in the 40-75 yard range but due to the area I hunt, shots longer than 150 yards probably aren't practical.
