What is the best rifle for deer and elk hunting?

30.06What is the best rifle for deer and elk hunting?
The 308 with Nosler Partition bullets can easily take all north american game, including using the big 200 grain bullets on the biggest brown bears, which is normally done currently in Siberia on the world's biggest brown bears. However, the 150 grain NP's are fine for deer, and have modest recoil which aids shooter accuracy. Many would move up to the 165 or 180 grain for the biggest elk, paying the price of increased recoil. The NP's have extreme dynamic range on targets large and small, near or far. You should have a 3X9 variable scope, the 3X for quick sight picture on close or moving targets, and the 9X for resting on the daypack for distance shots. Have a gunsmith work over the trigger pull for maximum accuracy, if it is the least bit gritty. Practice with the cheap ammo at the range. But the few extra pennies spent on that ';pivotal moment shot'; are well spent on Nosler Partition bullets. You may have to load your own ammo. Check MidwayUSA.com for supplies and a reloading manual containing a tutorial on reloading. Regards, Larry.What is the best rifle for deer and elk hunting?
Major manufacturer of a bolt action 30-06 rifle. You will need a variable scope to zero in on various distances. Take a basic firearms safety course. There are a lot more dangers than you think hunting with a firearm. Check your local hunting areas requirements for proper harvesting of the deer or elk.
What is the best rifle for deer and elk hunting? A good bolt-action with good optics. I like the Remington 700 but the Browning A-bolt is good. I also like the Steyr Mannlicher Pro Hunter but that may be a bit pricey for some. Ruger and Savage also manufacture good rifles. Caliber? At least a .308 Winchester and the .30-06 Springfield is even better.

You want a bolt action rifle by one of the big name guys, be it Ruger, Winchester, Browning, CZ, Remington, Savage, etc.





Get one with a 22 inch standard profile barrel (don't get a thick heavy varmint barrel)





For chambering, I suggest 30-06 or 270 winchester
You will definetly need the stopping power of a .30cal round. Anything lower will not cut it. I use a Remington Model 700 SPS Buckmasters Edition in .30-06 Springfield and a Winchester Model 70 Sporter Deluxe in .30-06 Springfield also.
for dear and elk id say a .30 -06 or .300 magnum or .308 or .338 anything in that naborhood really is optimum for dear.. i use a 12 gauge slug wich is much more powerfull than them all but much less range and acuracy ...i use that cuz i dont have a high power rfile yet
I think you'll find that one of the best calibers (I assume that's what you mean) that will cross over between he two, is the 30.06. Others will work too, but outside of the 30.06 and .308 ammo prices start to increase.
.280 rem or 30-06 caliber , as far as particular rifle, savage, remington or thompson just to name a few of my preferences, you will get many different opinions though.
7mm, 308 or 30-06 are good All of the Remington's are great but timber/stainless CDLs are perfect

270 - 300 - 308 - 30-06 - 338 is a bit heavy for a deer but -----
.308 and 30-06 would be the best and look for a notable and major firearms dealer.
Remington 700 .300 Winchester Mag.
300 winchester with 180 grain teflon tip jacketed. Tagger
I would go with a .30-06
You should get an M82A1, a 50 caliber rifle used in the millitary to blow someones butt off! lol
