Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Close Range Deer Rifle

There are multiple good choices. When I first saw the title, I immediately thought of my Marlin 1894 in 44 magnum or my Guide Gun in .45-70, although my Ruger American Compact stainless in 7mm-08 would also work great.

Other options would be: Marlin 444, Remington 760 or 7600 Carbine, a short-barreled (18-20") bolt gun, or a Savage 99 or Browning BLR.

Throw maybe a Leupold VX3i 1.5-5x20 with heavy duplex on and go hunting!

Were I you, I might well go for this:
