10 Best Hunting Rifles for Deer

Whether you're chasing white tailed deer in a pine swamp or scouting miles of open grassland for mule deer, we've compiled a list of the greatest deer hunting rifles available today for every sort of hunting. Yes, a standard synthetic-stock.

For the most majority of deer hunts, a 30/06 bolt rifle would suffice, but there's much to be said for getting the best tool for the job. So, no matter what kind of deer shooting you do, there's a perfect rifle for you on this list.

1. Remington Sendero SF II. The Sendero is designed with a hefty 26-inch barrel to extract as much velocity as possible from flat-shooting cartridges for long, accurate shots. The Sendero is a large rifle—with a scope, it'll weigh 10 pounds or more—but if you have a short trip to your stand or don't mind lugging about a big rig, it's excellent. 

2. Marlin 336C. Lever guns are still in use because they create a unique blend of mobility, balance, handling, and firepower that no other deer rifle can match.

3. Sako Finnlight. The Sako Finnlight won the Editor's Choice award from Outdoor Life a few years ago for its outstanding accuracy and dependability, which are not always guaranteed with rifles with thin barrels and other weight-saving features. The 6-pound Finnlight isn't one of those lightweights that sacrifices performance for the sake of weight savings.

4. Weatherby Vanguard Series 2. The Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 is at the top of the list when it comes to the best all-around big-game bolt rifle. The pricing, accuracy, handling, and construction of these rifles are all excellent. After shooting my .308, one of my pals, a gun geek who is also a penny-pinching farmer, was so charmed that he bought four Vanguards, one for each member of his family.

5. Ruger American. Since they first came out, I've fired at least a half-dozen different Ruger Americans, and they're all ridiculously accurate and sell for a price that other gunmakers can't match. Ruger has created a rifle with a decent barrel and an innovative bedding mechanism for around $400 on the street.

6. Blackout 300 Ambush. Hunters on limited plots of private land require a weapon that can quickly dispatch an animal. In this situation, a large-caliber AR shines. It can be difficult to recover a deer that has made its way to land where the hunter does not have authorization to seek. For this type of operation, the Ambush 300 Blackout is ideal.

7. Outfit H&R Handi Rifle. These are the most basic weapons available. And when it comes to putting a deer gun in the hands of a young or novice hunter, basic is the way to go. The operation of the H&R Handi Rifle is incredibly simple.

8. Savage M220 Stainless Camo. These firearms, like everything else made by Savage, are accurate and, in the case of the M220, come with Savage's Accu-­Trigger. Another reason to like this rifle is that it is chambered in 20-gauge.

9. Thompson/Center Pro Hunter FX. I'll admit that picking a "best" muzzleloader is difficult because there are so many good ones on the market. T/Pro C's Hunter FX, on the other hand, gets the nod. These rifles are well-made, simple to clean and shoot, feature comfortable stocks and ergonomics, and have a proven track record, making them a fantastic choice for blackpowder hunting.

10. Nosler M48 Patriot. The twenty-sixth With its barrel-smoking ballistics, Nosler is the new kid in town, and it has hunters stalking medium-sized animals in huge terrain all aflutter. In this 6.5mm caliber, Nosler is offering a 129-grain AccuBond Long Range at 3,400 fps and a 140-grain AccuBond at 3,300 fps. It's impossible to find a more hard-hitting and successful long-range hunting round.
