There are two categories constituting the top deer hunting rifles in North America. The first category consists of the wood and brush country rifles and the second category belongs to the long range deer rifles. Take a look at some of the descriptions between them.
Woods and brush rifles are actually made for medium hunting game. Usually, the average shot for these rifles are less than a hundred yards and it reaches up to two hundred for the maximum range. They have twenty to twenty-two inches barrel, depending on their caliber. The hunting weight of woods rifle runs from 7.5-8.0 lbs, including the mounted scope, the sling, and the full magazine. They are capable of auto-loading, so they are great when you need a secondary shot for your target. They are also designed for offhand or standing use since a clear view of the target is usually blocked by the underbrush from a flat position. Its stocks can be made of plastic, laminated wood, genuine walnut, or hardwood like maple. Woods rifles that are able to put three bullets into 2 minutes of angle from a cold barrel are considered good rifles when you talk about intrinsic accuracy. The cartridge for a woods rifle is required to launch a bullet with a sectional density of 0.255 at a velo city of 200-2500 feet per second for good killing power. The caliber should also be 0.257 inches or larger.
Long range deer rifles are handy, lightweight choices for deer hunting. They can reach up to three hundred yards of shooting range under normal conditions. From either a standing or sitting position, these deer hunting rifles can shoot at a six-inch bull's eye at one hundred, two hundred, or three hundred yards. The shooter must keep in mind though, that he must aim to target not more than thirty seconds for each shot. These rifles have a barrel measuring not more than twenty-four inches, and their standard calibers range from six mm to seven mm. Most shooters now prefer shooting with long range rifles at a sitting position since these rifles are not so reliable when you shoot from a standing position. This especially happens when you have more than a hundred-yard shooting range.
There are quite a number of brands for rifles that are available in North America. Some of these are Remington, Sako, Finnlight, Rugar, and Weatherby. These give high velocity cartridges that are necessary for the rifle's impressive performance. However, among these brands, Remington and Weatherby were reported to be the best sellers when it comes to hunting rifles. Folks say they are the best in terms of trajectory and high-energy shooting experience. Yet between the two, Weatherby seems more affordable when you speak of the price.
Regardless of the price, it doesn't really matter for deer sportsmen out there on which rifle to buy. Yet choosing the best deer hunting rifles needs an expert opinion. Only Gun experts and highly skilled deer hunters can give you idea on which type of rifle is best for you.
