30-30 is a very classic deer gun.

The 45-70 can be loaded differently for versatility. It gets my vote if you aren’t too recoil sensitive

Iowa requires rifles be .350 or larger bore diameter.


Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70
Marlin 1894 SBL 44 mag
Marlin 1894 SBL .357 mag
Are all good choices. They shoot tighter than Henry rifles. CVA Scout also comes in several Iowa legal calibers 35 Whelen being the most capable as it is a 30-06 case necked to 35 cal.

Good lord, does Iowa have armored deer or what?

That's idiotic
