Axxe you know as well as i do the perfect whitetail gun is a double in .500 nitro express, due to the massive bone structure of the deer

Go with any respectable quality rifle (Savage, Weatherby, Marlin, Tikka, etc.) that fits you when you shoulder it. Better yet, try to fire some candidates at the range. I would avoid new Remingtons as their quality has slipped the past few years, but pre-Freedom Group models were great. Unless you reload or have money to burn on ammo, I recommend .308 since it is ubiquitous, comes in many flavors and is relatively inexpensive.
