RE: Which is a better deer rifle?
I am a really huge fan of the 7mm and dont like the 30-06. The 7mm produces more energy and it shoots flatter. The 30-06 doese not produce as much energy and falls a faster. I would go with the 7mm. It is a darn good caliber.

Both are good, for longer ranges 7mm is probably better, but at the ranges it starts to excell lots of people can't shoot out there accuratly. 30-06 shells are cheaper and produce slightly less recoil and have more loads out for them. When I was faced with this dilemma I got a 7mm though.

Flip a coin and you will be better off than asking that question in this forum. It can be argued for 20 pages and you will never get a clear answer. My opinion is niether is really better than the other for deer. Thats why I shoot a 270 Win. Although no cartridge is better if you can't hit the deer in the vitals.
