As you are preparing to embark on yet another deer hunting season, you may feel as if the time has come to treat yourself to a new rifle. Even if your current rifle has lived up to its billing and helped you be successful on many hunting trips in the past, today’s newer rifles may make your next trip even better. As to which rifle you should select, here are some you should consider.

Henry Lever Action X Model

If you want a rifle that is virtually indestructible, very accurate from 150 yards in, easy to handle, and is well-known for making many hunters very happy when in the woods, you should take a close look at the Henry Lever Action X .30-30 rifle. Holding five rounds, you can load it via the gate on its receiver or drop cartridges into the magazine tube’s front-end cutout. As an added bonus, it also comes with a set of adjustable fiber optic sights.

Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan

If you are more of a bolt-action hunter who is determined to not go home without something to show for your efforts, the Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan rifle can deliver the goods time after time. Available as a .375, .338, or .300 caliber, most serious deer hunters tend to find the .300 caliber works the best. Made in the mold of traditional rifles, this model will give you more than enough power to shoot the biggest buck in your sights.

Savage 110 Hunter

While you are looking to custom build tactical rifles online in an effort to create the perfect deer-hunting rifle, you should also look closely at the Savage 110 Hunter, especially if you are new to deer hunting or have a youngster who is eager to get in on the fun. Featuring a detachable box magazine that holds four rounds, it’s available as a .243 Win., .25/06 Rem., .30-06, and the popular 7mm-08.

Winchester Model 70

Finally, if you want to use a rifle that resembles the one your grandfather may have used, try the Winchester Model 70. Accurate to within less than two inches at 100 yards, this five-shot Winchester has its stock made of AAAA maple, a shadow line on its raised cheekpiece, and a honey-colored hue throughout its wood. When you want to feel like you are on an old-fashioned deer hunting trip, this is the rifle you should have in your hands.

No matter which of these rifles you select, you’re sure to have a rifle in your hands that will let you arrive home with a deer you can proudly show off to your family and friends.
