Add/Edit: I must agree with joe t as this is the very rifle I use as a mainstay rifle for deer and wild hog.

The shooting ability of your husband should have an effect on your caliber choice. I have used several different calibers from the 22-250 to a 375 H&H. My personal favorites are the 7MM and 300 Win mag, because of their diversity you can use them for everything form Antolope to Moose. If he is going to strictly hunt deer and animals of that size a 243 or a 270 are excellent choices ammo is easy to find and so are rifles in those calibers There are a number of good deer rifles out there.

I assume you live in the United States, but which part? Some calibers are better suited for longer ranges. Some for the bigger bodied deer found in some areas. Really, as a rule of thumb, the 30-06 is almost impossible to beat for a "one gun kind-a-guy". If you really want to buy an impressive rifle, try to find a Voere. It's expensive, but very high quality. If money is more on your mind, look at a Remington or a Ruger. If money is an issue, buy a Savage or a Stevens. A Stevens rifle will go for less than $300 and is a reasonable quality, very accurate rifle. Look at the guns he already owns and find the manufactures. Some guys only like one brand of gun. Feel free to contact me to bounce ideas off me. Where is going to use the rifle? I assume you live in the United States, but which part? Some calibers are better suited for longer ranges.
