Semi-automatic rifles have gained a bad reputation in some circles - mainly through ignorance - but autos have a valid place in the hunting world, and are much faster and easier to use than other types of rifles. I spent my first twenty years of deer hunting using a semi-auto, and in doing so I learned just how good and dependable an automatic deer rifle can be. The reduced recoil helps, too! Here are some of the best semi-automatic deer big game hunting rifles ever made.
>Ruger Model 44 (44 Carbine)
This little gem tops my list because I used it almost exclusively as my deer hunting rifle for about two decades. Although this model is no longer being manufactured, I just had to include it because of my long and pleasant history with this rifle. With its handy carbine length and the hard-hitting 44 Rem Mag cartridge, this is an excellent gun for brush use at ranges out to 100 yards or so.
