Marlin XL7 is a great choice for the money and whatever size deer determines the weight bullet, but 150-165 Grain Bullet is enough. For the scope, if you can work it into your budget, check out the Pentax Game Seeker. Probably the best scope buy for the money. 30 06 is a great round and for only one rifle, would say is a great choice. Good Luck on your hunt.
