I've taken many deer wtht shotguns and a .444 Marlin.
But, too many times I've just sat and watched while deer grazed in a field 300-400 yards away, for hours... then wandered off in another

You can't really go wrong with the Remington 700, in any caliber. Deer are tough though, they've got a lot of heart man, both literal and figurative. First gun I ever bought was a .30-06 700

I've probably taken down more deer with my Winchester 94 than any other rifle. Nice to carry and sweet to shoot.

For something different at 100 to 150 yards try a handgun, S&W 460 with 8.3 inch barrel and good scope. I bought one a couple years ago and have to say it is real neat.

Thanks Tig. And your assumptions are not too far off the mark. While I have taken many an animal - elk, deer, pigs, cats, coyotes with that rifle, it was having a bear get away after what I was sure

My favorite all around for deer is probably my Krieger custom 30-06 but I bought my wife a Tikka White Tail Hunter Delux in 270 and she has taken 4 deer with 4 shots. Her shots ranged from 100 - 200

Why leave your hunt camp? A Barrett M107 will save you lots of walking and may field dress the deer at the same time!!

35 Whalen. I handload so I can make it act like a 35 remington for close up deer or go full power for Moose. The 200 gr Barns triple shock will drop them in there tracks.

Savage also makes an excellent 30-06 for cheaper than the Remington. Though a hair lower in the quality, the price difference between top line Savage and top line Remi's is far bigger than the quality difference.

I found a Remmy 700 30-06 for a steal! I'm going to grab it up. They're asking $250 for a like $650 gun, and it's in mint condition. So I've got my deer rifle...YEAH!

I'm getting the Remmy 700 30-30 here soon. My mini 14 did the job, with not problems or complants, and my 7mm mag what just TOO much, so I was look for a good caliaber rifle for the range I generally shoot (100-150 yards). Thanks yungshooter11! :)

For a 30-06, A Remington model 700 is a great choice. The 30-30 I used to own was a Marlin lever action I believe. Pretty nice rifle....

At that range about anything will work fine. Some obviously overkill..... A good ole 30-06 or 30-30 might suite you best.

What would be a good rifle for taking down a deer at around 100 to 150 yards?
I have a mini 14 and it works good at around 100 yards and I I have a Savage 7mm mag (which is way too powerful at
