a .308win.
Win 30-30, Win 70 270 WSM or Savage 25-06, depending on the area and weather.
depends on where I'm hunting. If I'm in the timbers, I'll use a .30-30. For fields and open areas, I use a .260 Remington.
Use a Winchester Model 94 in 30-30 for my deer rifle!!!
30.06 or .300 savage.
I have a hard time deciding which one to take out of the gun safe the .308, 300 WSM or the new .338 Federal.
a 30/6
model 700 in 7mm-08.
I have a Marlin 30-30 that I have killed more deer with then anything else. In the last couple of years I have been using a weatherby 300 mag that I love.
Gotta Remington 7600 Pump in .280 Remington.
It will kill dangerous predators and anything smaller.
7mmWBY,375H&H or 308 depends on the mood I'm in and which one wins the coin toss.
idduckhntr 22-250 to 338 Win Mag pending on my mood!
lure, you will have to research that one yourself my Friend.
I like the 25-06 the best, it's like crossing a 22-250 with a 270 and is the smallest recommended cartridge for Elk, so it has plenty of steam and fantastic for annoying critters at long range.
7mm-08? I'm going to be nice today
Favorite is the 25-06 for most situations.
.35 Rem or .375 H&H in the thick trash.
.300 Dakota for shots over 600 yards.
My current favorite is a Savage 11 in 7mm-08, but I used a .270 Win. Mod. 70 for a lot of years and I still keep it handy.
1) Remington 7600 .270Win
2) Revelation .243Win
3) Remington 7600 .243Win (this is synthetic--slop weather gun)
4) Savage .264Win Mag (new to the mix this year--still have to site it in)
depends on location but primary 25-06 or 300 win mag
.30-06
na .270, lol (for real though .50cal muzzle loader or '06 is the only thing I use)
HCA FOURRUNNER!
For plains and open high desert mule deer one of the following:
Ruger M-77 .257 Roberts
Weatherby Mk V 7mm Weatherby Magnum
Weatherby Mk V Lightweight .30-06*
Remington M-700 .308 Win
For timber and mixed country:
Savage 99 .300 Savage
Savage 99 .358 Winchester*
Remington M-700 .35 Whelen
Combo deer and elk where tooth and fang critters abound:
Remington M-700.35 Whelen
1. Ruger .270 or
2. Tikka T3 .300 WSM
And the previous number 3 until it fell out of my stand and broke was my Sako FinnWolf .308...
1.Savage M-170c Pump 30/30
2.Ruger 77MkII 223Rem
3.Ruger Autoloder 44Mag(Swamp gun)
C~FL
Ruger #1 in 7mm mag
Tikka T3 LH in 270WSM
Ruger M77 African LH in 375 Ruger(reduced handloads)
Puma 92 in 454 Casull for the swamp & thick places
Ha sqaredneck got to have a swamp gun.
C~FL
1. Ruger 77 in .270, for early alpine hunts where the range might run over 200 yards.
2. Remington 788 carbine in 7mm-08, for mid to late season hunts in good weather.
3. Winchester model 64 in 30-30 for thick stuff and rainy days.
Our deer seldom run over 150 lbs live weight so you don't need a powerhouse round. Sometimes when we hunt Kodiak Island the Ruger 77 in .338 Win Mag goes.
Ruger Ultralight .257 Roberts, Marlin 336 .35 Remington, Remington 788 .308 Win, Interarms Mk X 7mm Remington Magnum, once in great while a Ruger 77 in .300 Win Mag but not too often. If putting on drives, the first three, if watching the open fields, usually the 7mm. E~WV
I use my Remington, Model 700 ADL in 243 caliber. does the job! Good hunting
Remington 760 30.06 or my great grandad's Savage 250-3000
Any legal round is a good deer rifle, however, some are better than others so its fun to vary my selections.
A Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherwight in 6.5X55mm with a Leupold 2-7X33 scope.
Mauser 25-06
in cali i use a winchester model 70 in .243 with 100 grain remington core lockts, and i have a ziess conquest 3x9x40 on it
If I'm in the real thick stuff I'll use my model 94 30-30 winchester. If I'm at medium range I'll use my model 88 .358 winchester.
30/06
Depends on how im feeling and where i want to hunt...close range(under 50 yards) or stalking i like to use either my bow, or a pump action .20 gauge with slugs...medium range(up to 200 yards) its my bolt action .30-06, and long range (200+ yards) ill take the .300 weatherby...but my go to deer rifle is the .30-06 its the best compromise for speed of shooting and stopping power
this past season i used a 30-30 but next season i will be using my new 270 WSM
