I've been hunting deer and bear for 40 years and I would recommend the 30-06. There is an abundant supply of new and used rifles in this caliber that are bargain priced. Every firearms manufacturer makes rifles in this caliber and there is a wide selection of factory ammo available. Check out the used rifle selection in your area. Deer rifles are seldom shot out since most people probably put 20 rounds or so a year through them. A lot of them are traded in for the latest and greatest magnum of the month.
