It it is not marked, you will have to have a chamber cast taken.

Assuming you have a Golden State Arms Santa Fe Model 1944 rifle here. Golden State Arms didn't manufacture rifles - they bought surplus military rifles, and sporterised them. What you have is PROBABLY a surplus Short Magazine Lee Enfield rifle, and would be chambered for the 7.7x56R cartridge, also known as the .303 British. However, if you're not certain about the calibre, then you need to take it to a gunsmith to have them measure out the chamber - not all of the Santa Fe rifles retained their original .303 cartridge, and, although less common, rifles converted to .308 Winchester and .45-70 are not unheard of.
Which model. Benjamin made about 20 different models. Also state the condition of the rifle.
If you mean legally, yes, in most states in the U.S. a person can own any caliber rifle that is available. I believe there are 1 or 2 states that have state laws restricting caliber.

You need a license no matter where you live or how small the caliber. A firearm is a firearm. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
One you can shoot accurately that meets or exceeds your state's minimum caliber restriction.
You MAY be referring to the .50 BMG caliber rifle, which was banned in the State of California.
Please state the model of the daisy 22 Caliber gun, or is it a rifle?
Not legally. It's illegal for a felon to own a gun in any state.
In the US, the two most popular deer rifles are the Winchester 94 and the Marlin 336, both in caliber 30-30. However, "best" is a matter of choice, and the area where you hunt. A bolt action rifle in a caliber legal for your state may be a good choice, and less expensive than the lever guns. I hunt with a muzzle loading rifle, and get to hunt 2 more weeks than the folks with modern rifles.
