What you are hunting WITH depends on where you are hunting and what you are hunting...
7mm is a great all around rifle but too much gun for Florida whitetails, while a .243 will drop any deer in Fla and even an elk in the hands of a good shooter.
There is no perfect hunting gun but if I could only have one, I'd go with the versatility and rugged dependence of a shotgun.
If you're looking more for a rifle, I'd say you can't go wrong with a Savage 30-06.
The model 110 comes equipped with a decent scope and accu-trigger for 500 bucks, my personal experience says it will drive tacks at a 100 yards, stay in a 2" group at 300, and kill anything in north America.
