mathews z7 with gold tip pro hunter and 2 blade rage.
Been using a Model 70 Winchester in .243 for MANY years. It has always put them down 1 shot 1 kill. Now if I where Hunting heavy brush or shorter ranges, then I would go to a 30-30 or even a 44 mag. So it depends mostly on the Area and what type of hunting your gonna be doing.
what do you think about a matthews reezen 6.5?
.338 Win Mag. Drops them like lightening hit em. No tracking, no blood trail, no trouble. I have never had one take a step. A lot of it is shot placement I know, but I like to leave no doubt that if I do my job properly, I can plant them where I want. Versatile round too. Can go distance and has density and power to push through brush. My secondary calibers are .358 Win Mag and 30-06. Both produce excellent results. If I am hunting waaaaaayyyyyyyyy long I bring out the .300 weatherby.
30-06, Savage 116 with a 3-9x40 Leupold.
Cant beat it, There are many reasons a 30-06 with a 3-9x40 is the most popular combo in the country and has been for many years.
Lots of deer appropriate calibers on hand but this one is my favorite.

I second this
.270 or 7mm mag...both in Browning A bolt. But, I haven't actually hunted deer since the late 80s. Thinking about taking it back up since my next door neighbor now is the Chattahoochee national forest.
