1. Remington 700: American Hunter lists the Remington 700 at the top of its list of best rifles for deer hunters. This rifle is one of the most popular ever produced – more than 5 million have been sold over the past 50 years. It can be found in a range of calibers, and at nearly any gun dealer in the nation.
2. Kimber 84M Montana: Kimber's 84M Montana rifle shows why the gun maker has been successful in the business for a long while, and this particular model comes in at No. 3 on American Hunter's list. The 84M Montana can be found in .257 Roberts and .308 Winchester, making it a great gun to take either deer or elk. The gun only weighs five and a half pounds, which makes it a good gun for men who like a little recoil.
3. Marlin 336C: Marlin arguably makes some of the best lever-action rifles around, and for fans of the classic “cowboy” guns, the 336C is a good choice. You can buy this rifle — which made
Outdoor Life's list of best deer guns — in either the classic .30-30 deer round, or step up to the .35 Remington. Either way, buyers are likely to find a round they like in a great lever action rifle.
