Here is my Deer rifle pair, a Win Mod 70 Compact Classic in 7mm-08 and a Marlin 1894C in 357. If I can not do the job with these two, I should not be woodswalking. As to calibers any of the short action rounds mentioned and a Win Compact classic, Remington mod 7, or a Browning A bolt, would be fine rifles.
