So I've been trying to decide what deer rifle I'm going to get for Christmas. I'm looking at various models in .30-06 and so far I've looked at Savage 111, Remington 700, Winchester Model 70 synthetic, Weatherby Vanguard, Howa 1300 and Ruger MK77. They all seem like they'd make good deer rifles but I'm having trouble deciding.
What do you think is the best deer rifle for around $500 or less. I'm not restricting it to the above guns so feel free to throw anything out there. For a couple of days I'd decided on the Savage 111 package gun because my budget is basically $400 or less but now I'm thinking I could possibly go $500 through the mircacle of layaway. I like the savage and it feels good but it might be worth it to invest in something a little nicer.
So whaddya think?
