Good rifle for whitetail deer hunting?

I want to buy a new rifle, mainly for whitetail deer hunting. I already have a scope in mind.

If your budget minded consider a rifle chambered in .308..... Yeah the hunting ammo costs about the same as 30-06 but when you are target practicing off season the .308 FMJ ammo in bulk is down right cheap!!!!!..... The 30-06 is a little to much for deer.... Yeah many guys hunt with the .30-06 but it is still slightly to large......

The .308 is a better choice..... Check out this cartridge guide....

Check out this Remington 700 SPS.... These sell at the gun counter for a little more than $500.....

My Remington 700 is topped off with a Nikon scope.... These are accurate, reliable and have been a pleasure to use.....

I target shoot more than I hunt.... That's why I chose the .308... Its more cost effective and is more than adequate for white tail deer... Some folks even think the .308 is a little overkill.... I think its perfect...... Depending on how much you shoot the ammo over the long run will cost more than the rifle... So a bad ammo choice can be expensive.....
