What I consider “my area” is back home in western WV, I don’t know if I can pin down a basic deer rifle there but if I had to it would probably be a Remington 7400 in 308 or 30-06, high-rise scope rings with a cheap 3-9x
Growing up in southern WV it was either a 30-30 lever action or a Remington 7400 or 742. The 7400/742 has fell way out of favor, and rightly so. You still see the 30-30's, but the cheap synthetic stocked bolt actions have taken over for most folks.
