best gun for deer

30-30 lever iron sights. 5lb gun 100 yards easy killing
And what are you going to do with that setup when you walk out on a clear cut and you see a nice buck on the other side at 300yds? You might as well be standing there with a pointed stick.

I want something with more versatility. A T3 in 6.5CM topped with a good 2-7 or 2.5-8 would be perfect for a newbie deer hunter.

Get closer. Its hunting, not shooting. lol
I love my lever guns but when longer shots are expected I use "old faithful" 30-06 TC Encore or the new 264 Win mag model 70
 
whats the best fifle for deer
Caliber matters more than the rifle. Heres a good chart

I personally use 30-06 its a great round for pretty much everything. Rifle brands are an afterthought after you decide on caliber but the finnish Tikka is what I use id reccomend either that or the finnish Sako brand. But honestly any rifle that shoots will do lol. Of the calibers 308, 30-06, 7MAG are all good rounds id reccomend
