I am just curious as to any opinions on rifle caliber for deer hunting. I am looking to hunt for mainly whitetail deer and possibly moose. I was thinking of a 308. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ruger #1 rifle in .375 H&H.
I agree with everyone above, except the "45-70 or .460" and .375 H&H and 35 Whelen; unless you were just kidding.
Oh, and not in MA. No rifle hunting for deer in MA.

Of course, the three traditional standards for deer/moose/bear in Maine are probably in this order: 30-06, 300 Rem Mag, 30-30.
