Pretty much any center fire rifle above 6mm/.243 caliber will work fine given adequate bullet weight, design and velocity. The single most important issue is shot placement, not speed, not a super whiz bang name, not a big scope or a high price. 99% of the hunters in the eastern US would be best served by something along the lines of a 257 Roberts/6.5x55/270/308/30-06/35 Whelen. The best thing they could do for the deer is PRACTICE shooting at ranges they normally encounter deer at. When you can put 10 shots in a 9" paper plate at your max yardage then you're ready to go. The ATV riding, tree stand sitting, 338 Whizbangmagnum shooter with the 8x32 power scope that won't drag his fat butt out of the tree stand to see if he actually hit that deer at 250+ yards he shot at is no more than a slob hunter IMO. HUNTING involves more than just banging away at a deer and hoping for a hit.
As you can probably tell, I'm a bit fed up with many of the so called "hunters" in my area.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
