What Makes a Rifle Ideal for Deer Hunting?

There are several considerations to keep in mind when choosing a deer hunting rifle. What kind of environment will you be hunting in? Will you be hunting long range or will you be in the midst of the brush or trees much closer to your prey? If you're going to be down on the ground or in a tree stand a deer hunting rifle that can be easily maneuvered in tight spaces is ideal – one with a relatively short barrel for example (around 20 inches). Investing in a bipod for your deer hunting rifle might be a good idea as well if you plan on being on the ground or lying flat for significant periods of time.

Longer distance shooting might call for a different caliber deer hunting rifle, but you'll want to keep in mind that too-powerful cartridges will not serve you well for deer hunting. You want to use a cartridge that will preserve as much of the deer as possible. Also consider how well your long range deer hunting rifle will work with a scope – is the model you're interested built to accommodate scopes and optics for long range shooting?

Also consider what brands you trust and know have excellent deer hunting rifles. It’s easy to search by brand here at GunBroker.com and you can find the models you're interested for sale by like-minded hunters. You can also fin antique or replica guns if you're looking for a deer hunting rifle like Grandpa had.
