Sounds like a perfect scenario for my M-77 in .250s  Or a nice 257 or a 6.5x55 or 260  I like this.

in Remington Core Lokt! Perfect match for your criteria.

For those conditions I'd probably grab my M70 classic .358 Win.

I'm thinking a light, fast action .308 WIN might work - I'll try this one out tomorrow morning and report back. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/IMG_21294.JPG) If you find yourself unhappy with the 308BLR let me know!!! Seriously for under 150yd deer, that screams leveraction with a good peep/ghostring sight for me. Hoping to tote this with me friday if the FFL delay comes through ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/mattpair/remlin7_zps63df4db2.jpg)

Just about any rifle you find on sale, new or used that is legal for deer in your state. . I think this is still a true statement. I may need to add that you need to also ask to buy a box of shells at the same time with the rifle. Most oddballs are not usually on sale and I have noticed a lot more shells on the shelves since November (deer season). Just use common sense. You wouldn't buy a toy without batteries. But, I will say that when ammo was at the lowest levels on the shelves I could always find 30-06 and 270. Try to buy ammo ahead as you can afford it.

I agree with the Marlin 336 in 30-30 or 35 Rem. I picked one up in 35 Rem recently and topped it with a Burris 1.75-5x20 for just this type of hunting. They are light and compact, accurate enough and just plain work for deer at these ranges. ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a387/UNCCGrad/lever_zps6141cc46.jpg) That is a very nice looking Marlin!

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

50 BMG...no tracking required. However if you are recoil sensitive, then 300 Savage.

Same rifle I'd use at 50 yards or 450 yards. Most any of mine.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I hunt NY over in zone 9T, a little west of where you are. Since NYDEC has allowed centerfire rifles, I've taken deer there with .308, .270, and .30-06. They all work well.

A Marlin 30-30 would have me covered but If I could find a 7x30Waters that would be sexy too!  Or a 250Savage. Dang, ONE best cartridge  that's nuts!

What would be a good deer round when the longest shot
would be 150 yards, and deer that weigh 130 lbs. at most?
jr1968 Pick a cartridge from .26-.30 caliber firing a bullet at 2600-2800 fps. This (obviously) encompasses many choices. Any will work so pick your favorite and go hunting. Just for the record, I'd choose a 7-08
Only a fool would sell an accurate .30-06

I'll be chopping wood cooking BBQ and drinking bourbon all day saturday in prep for the Iron Bowl so it will have to wait another week or so.

358 Winchester would be my choice at 150 yards. For deer, it is a little hammer and IMHO would work well out to 250 yards with the right bullet. I hand load and use 225 grain NP's for both elk and deer.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
