6.5x55 Swedish Mauser, Fajen stock, scoped, handloaded with Nosler Partitions. Shoots .75" at 100 yards. Very effective.
M1 Garand, used it to kill a nice doe with Federal Gold Match. Will use Sierra Game King 165 grainers next time...
SKS
Just built a .35 Whelan on a VZ24.
I have some "un-cut" originals as well, though they'll never see any mods - a 1909 Argentine will all matching numbers, and the swastika-marked Kar98 my father-in-law brought back from WW2.
But mostly I use my Savage 7mm Mag.
