No need to go crazy here. My go to whitetail rifle is a Tikka 595 in 7-08 topped with a Leupold VX2 3-9x40. VERY accurate using Federal Fusion 140 factory ammo. In the 11 years Ive had it and used that combo Ive killed at least 40 deer from 5-275 yards. All either DRT or very short tracks, with very little meat damage.
