Looking for a deer rifle

[Bass Hunter]

Looking to purchase a good deer rifle in a .270 or 30-06. If any one has one out there they would like to part with let me know.
Thanks

Waterdog101 posted a Remington 742 30-06 woodmaster for sale on here back on 1/17. It never showed as sold. Go back a few days and see if he ever sold it if you are interested. That is the same gun I have used since 1980. Sweet gun and will last a life time if taken care of. emoThumbsup

I would say get the 270. It is a good flat shooting gun. I have the Remington 700 ADL that i got at the beggining of 2010's deer season. I have shot many deer with it. And alot at 300-350 yards. I shoot a 130 grain soft tip. Thats just my suggesting. A 30-o6 wont shoot as far and shoot flat. I have mine set about an inch hight at 100 yards and at 300 its dead on. at 350 holding at a deers back ill hit it in the lungs.

A good buddy of mine just sold a greay Ruger M77 270 with a simmons 3-9-54 scope. Had push button safety. And it was set dead on at 100 yards and we pulled it out at 328 yards and shot it and it was still dead on. We didnt allow a bit. It was a good collecter type gun and he sold it for 400 about 3 weeks ago.

I have about every caliber and a 270 is my favorite. It matches up to a 7 mag. up to so far out.

I saw a Remington 700 .270 with strap, scope, black synthetic stock at Shooters Depot Monday on Battlefield Parkway for $299.

All good suggestions, but if the price is right on a .243 or 6mm I would jump on it too. This is an excellent caliber for deer and if you ever intend to pass it on to a wife or kid at some point, it's more of a pleasure to shoot IMO. I have killed many many deer with my 6mm. I do love my .270 though.

Don't let anyone steer you away from the .30-06, it's arguably one of the best multiuse guns there is. Heck it was a choice load for snipers in Vietnam. Carlos Hatchcock carried a Model 70 .30-06 and that is good enough for me
