No one should use a military style rifle to hunt deer or any other game. You know, like those Mausers and whatnot. Come on, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

If I could still hunt in CA using one of my "assault weapons," I'd grab either the HK or FAL, each in .308. The AK and AR I reserve for varmint hunting. As things are today, I'll probably use either the Enfield No4Mk2 or Mosin-Nagant M44. I suppose the Garand would do, but I don't really want to drag that through the woods.
