Any recommendations on a good deer hunting gun?

I use a Winchester 54 in 30-06. A lot will depend on your local laws and the type of land and terrain you'll be hunting. There are others here at FR far more knowledgeable than I on this subject. FReeper Squantos comes to mind.

Rem 7 mm Mag or Win 300 Mag...both give you great accuracy if ever looking 250+ yards, change to a heavier bullet if hunting in thick brush in either version.

Got to say your choice of 30-06 is a general all round choice that with reloads will give you 110gr to 250 grain loads. For Small Deer to Black Bear / Moose size game it’s good general choice.

30-06 is a do it all rig if ya reload for it.
