I'll, also, vote for the 30-30 Winchester; however, the 35 Remington is right behind it for all the same reasons. Generally speaking I don't think it's a good idea to go after deer-sized game with anything less than a 243 Winchester; and, when you consider the wide range of bullet weights and loads that are available for the 30-06 Springfield, I have to wonder what about the 30-06 doesn't make it the best all-around centerfire rifle cartridge in the world!
