That's easy , the one with which you're most confidant shooting .
My own preference is a .54 caliber muzzleloader loaded with a patched round ball . If I were choosing for a first time deer hunter I'd go with a 12 gage loaded with slugs .

That has worked for me for over 25 years.

I think the winchester model 94 has shot more deer in the past 100+ years than any other gun out there, but I use a 7mm08 700 rem mtn rifle

7mm/08--accurate,mild recoil,flat shooting,based on the .308 cartridge(can't go wrong there)all in a short-action rifle.Really puts the smack on deer,too.

30-06 or 270 but I have 30-06 so I will go with that. Manufacturure doesn't really matter. as long as your happy with the brand you own.
