Q: Best hunting rifles on the market?
If money was no object what do you think would be the best rifle for deer/bear/moose/elk. I’ve been hearing alot of good things about the Remington 700 series, but they appear to be fairly cost effective, which makes me wonder why. Is there anything better than that? What are some good high end rifles? Also, let’s assume it’s for good/fair weather only, using the best ammo, best optics, etc…
A: Kimber, Thompson, and Weatherby have good rifles

Q: I would like to buy a powerful air rifle… What would be one of the worlds best air rifles for hunting rabbit?
What make and model of pellet should I use with this certain air rifle,when hunting rabbit??? Also,what air rifle might be best for hunting crow from far away distances??? Thanks for the extra details… Tim
A: Crossman Quest C1K77 – $95 bucks at airgundepot.com
Winchester 1000xs – $145 at airgundepot.com
My FAVORITE —– Ruger AirHawk – $99 at sportsmanguide.com
All of these guns are 1000fps and NON-c02, which means VERY POWERFUL. These are also great prices for a pellet gun with 1000fps. Guns like this are commonly almost $200.
And don’t listen to Skip. It’s legal, but you first of all have to have a hunting liscense and have to check with the dfg what your local laws are. Some animals are seasonal only (ie. cottontails and crows have a season). But most of the time you’re fine shooting a pellet gun, as long as you’ve got a liscense. Good luck!
Q: what is the best hunting rifle to shoot bucks?
what’s the best hunting rifle to shoot bucks i want something with really good accuracy and a fairly big shot. just out of curiosity.
A: “Best” is about a subjective word as you can get. Ask 20 hunters, and you’ll get 20 answers. Maybe 30 if they can’t make up their mind. Some of the most popular are .30-30, .243, .257 Roberts, .270, .30-06, .308, 7mm Magnum, 8mm Mauser, 7.62×54R, .300 Magnum, and .338. Any of these can kill just about any deer in the US. Some are better in short ranges, some are better in long ranges.
The bottom line is that the “best” gun to use is one that you can consistently place your shot to kill the deer cleanly. The ability to place your shot well is more important than the size bullet you use. So my best advice is to find a gun you can shoot well, and practice, practice, practice!
Happy hunting.
PS, my favorite is the trusty old .30-30. It’s killed more deer than just about any other caliber, and it’s the first one I reach for on my way out to the lease.
Q: What gun brand has the best deer hunting rifles?
browning, remington, winchester, etc
A: i mean it depends on the model and calibar ur using id say for deer a 22-250 up to a 308 will work winchester is good along with remington so ask around your gun stores for more help. yahoo answers won’;t help you with a gun becuase of the libeals today so go to a real gun store and ask

Q: What would you say the best rifles is for hunting deer and an affordable cost?
A: Hello Fullmetal!
The question you ask actually needs a little more information for an informative answer. You do volunteer that rifles can be used in your state for deer hunting. However, what is the terrain like? Your shots will actually be dictated by the terrain and vegetation!
If your terrain is hilly and heavily vegetated, which would limit you typical shot to less than 100 yards, a lever action (such as a Winchester 94 or a Marlin 336) in .30-30 would be adequate and most affordable!
If your terrain is hilly or mountaious, and lightly vegetated, you are going to be looking more at a long shot, perhaps across a valley! Then, a rifle such as a 7mm Rem. Magnum or a .30-06 or larger might be the wiser choice!
However, if your terrain is rather flat and wide open, you will have longer shots, since you will not be able to “hide” closer, so your rifle should be able to reach out and shoot flat … perhaps one of the new “wonder” magnums!
Take a look at where you plan on hunting, and allow the terrain and the vegetation help influence your rifle choice!
Good luck and good shooting!
Q: What is the best hunting rifle for the African plains?
I need a rifle that is new and that can take down Large to medium animals and what kind of cartridge is best used in it.
A: The .375H&H is considered to be the minimum caliber for dangerous game in africa and it works extremely well on the larger plains game such as Kudu, Gemsbok, wildabeast etc as well. Having said that, there are many choices depending on what you are after, and how well you shoot. The .270 winchester has been used to take leopard and many plains animals, but so has just about every other caliber out there. I would prefer to take two rifles to africa, one, my .270 and two, the .375H&H but not if I were going after the big 5. I’d want a lot More cartridge on my side than that.
shoot safe
Q: Best hunting rifles under $500?
I am looking for a rifle to get for a gift for someone and I only have $500 what would be the best one to buy?
Thanks!
A: I like the Remington 700 ADL and the Ruger M77 MKII. But I lean towards the Ruger they have the reputation of not being very accurate, but a 2 inch group at 100 yards will still get you a deer.I have seen both at gunshops for about 400 to 450 dollars with a scope. So the question would be which one fits you the best.
Q: What is the best 30-06 hunting rifle I can get with a Scope under $600?
I am looking for the best rifle and scope under $600. Let me know what you think and why? I would like to find one with a camo stock but havent seen one in this price range. Is a realtree camo stock needed if I will be primarily hunting deer in NC? I want to go with the 30-06 because I want to hunt bigger game also.
A: Go with the Marlin for under $400 but buy a quality SCOPE like Nikon 3-9×40 Prostaff BDC reticle (bullet drop compensating) for less than $200.
I do not recommend a rifle scope that comes as a combo.
Most experts advise that your scope should cost almost as much as your rifle. It will do the job and last for a long time.
Q: What is the best hunting rifle caliber to buy?
Wondering what people think would be the most versatile rifle caliber to buy. 300 win mag, .308, 30-06, 7mm? pros and cons? Brand rifle? Need to stay under $1000.00
A: Web,
I am along time Alaskan hunter, trapper, certified Alaskan Hunter Safety Instructor – and rifle instructor.
They do not make one rifle that does it all. If they did, my wife would have bought me one 30 years ago and sold the other two dozen in the safe.
“Best” rifle depends on what your skills are. Example, I shoot NRA Highpower Rifle – this is 200, 300 and 600 yard competition with open sights – no scope. With a scope – I can put 4 rounds inside the same hole at 200 yards and easily hit coffee cup sized targets at 600. I use a 338 Win Mag when hunting ……… but I did not learn to shoot or train on that 338…….. it would have been way too expensive and put me in the hospital from recoil.
Likewise – if you are not an expert or master level shooter – buying a 300WinMag, 7mm Mag or 30-06 is not going to make you a better shot. You are not going to spend long afternoons at the range shooting box after box of ammo and watch your scores get better by the hour. About the only thing you will accomplish is give yourself a terrible case of flinch, damage your shoulder, and empty your wallet.
What you need is two rifles. Something lite like a 223 or 243 for practice, and, a 300 Win Mag for serious work. Just the money you save in 300Win Mag ammo will easily pay for the second rifle after 2 or 3 years. No doubt you can get a discount buying two identical rifles and scopes. This gives you one light rifle for long range practice – and this lighter rifle will allow you to learn to shoot long distance better because it is effected by wind more – and let you cheaply apply what you learn to the bigger rifle.
As to caliber. Depends where you plan on going the next 20 years. If you never, ever, going to visit Alaska – you will find the 7mm Mag is flat shooting and has all the power you will ever need. If you do plan to some day visit Alaska – then go for the 300 Win Mag. If you are never going to hunt brown bear in the lower 48 – the 308 is the most pefect caliber – but, you will want the added energy of the 30-06 for a lower 48 brown bear. (Alaskan brown bears are much, much bigger than lower 48 due to diet so you need a bigger gun)
Bottom line. You have a choice. Three years from now you can be an awesome shot and own two rifles. Or, you can be a lousy shot like most of your hunting buddies, own one rifle, and have 400-500 rounds of empty highpower rifle brass. (The up side to a 243 vs the 223 is the 243 is an exceptional back up deer rifle. Up side to the 223 over the 243 – the 223 is less expensive to shoot and provides you with an exceptional varmint rifle and a good deer rifle)
Hope this helps. I have owned all of the above rifle mentioned. They all have a place in the scheme of hunting. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.

Q: Best hunting rifles.?
Is Sako worth the money or should i just go with a tikka T3 Hunter for $1000 less, Or should i go for a Browning A-Bolt Medallion.
What is everyones opinion on short mags. I was thinking of getting a 270. wsm, 300. wsm in one of the models above. Most people tell me to stick with a regular 270.
A: Go with the Tikka or the Browning, a deer will never know the difference when shot with one- I understand that the .270 wsm is being called the best deer caliber ever made- I have to assume they are exaggerating a bit, but I’m sure it is a fine caliber.
Q: What is the best hunting rifle on the market?
im going to hunt turkeys in Nomber and i wanted to know what kind of rifle is good for that
A: Shotguns are more suited to the job, but I have shot dozens with my deer rifles. .270win, 300sav, 25-06…I used all three effectively, but I was deer hunting and the turkeys came out often after I was about to give it up for the morning. When I am specifically hunting turkey I shoot my Remington 870 with specialized turkey shot.
Q: which of these air rifles are the best for hunting and best in quietness?
the gamo hunter .22 cal, air arms tx200 mk3 .22cal, the air arms s410 FAC .22 cal, or the weinrauch hw97k .22???? i am looking for quietness and power and am looking for the gun that is the best on quality to.
A: It seems you are looking high and low for a good hunting air rifle.
Take a look at the .22 caliber RWS 350 Magnum
http://www.pyramydair.com/p/rws-350-magnum-air-rifle.shtml
Next to the Beeman Kodiak, this is the most powerful spring piston sporter that I know of.
You should get around 25fpe out of the box. If you have the rifle “supertuned” and after use(wear in) you could get 26-27fpe
The Beeman R1 & RX-2 are also very high quality air rifles.
Q: which of these air rifles is best for hunting, and highest in power?
the logun S-16, webley longbow, Diana RWS 350 feuerkraft? I am not driven as much to pcp air rifles because dealing with all the power plant stuff is a pain in the ***.
A: the sweet 16 but if you want real breakbarrel performance get the gamo hunter extreme in .22 i got one and i used it to kill 4 possums and 2 raccoons instantly and the big raccoon weighed 41 lbs! holy crap!but it was a headshot but then again all of them were
