A good hunting rifle must be

  • reliable
  • appropriate in caliber for your intended game
  • one you can shoot accurately and safely
  • within your budget

Given these considerations there is no one hunting rifle that is best for everyone in all situations.

It can vary from a Marlin in .22LR to a Holland & Holland in .600 Nitro Express, depending on what you are hunting, where you are hunting, how you are hunting, how experienced a shooter you are, and even your height and weight.

Most well known manufacturers produce rifles suitable for one type of hunting or another.

How can i Contrast deer hunting to elk hunting?

They are very similar. Deer and elk are much alike anatomically, though elk tend to be larger. For this reason, a different caliber gun may be required for an elk. Guns like a 7mm rifle will do fine for deer, but it's questionable for elk. A 30-06 is typically a good gun for both.

What the best caliber rifle?

The best caliber rifle is entirely dependent on what game you are hunting. For varmints (small pest animals like gophers, moles, and prairie dogs) as .22 LR would be appropriate. For deer and elk, I would chose one of the .30 caliber options, either 30.06 or .308. For moose, or cape buffalo, I might go up to a .454.
