I like a 22" 308 bolt rifle with a 4x scope. I can hit with it as fast up close as I can with anything else, I can thread a bullet through a hole in the brush as needed, I get more hunting time at each end of the day, and I can reach out if needed.
I've found that "specialized" deer rifles don't do much if anything better than this, and I'd rather put they money the cost into other things.
