Started with a Winnie model 94 in 25-35 that belonged to a brother.

Borrowed a Savage model 99 in 30-30 from another brother and took several deer with that.

Bought a Rem model 750 chambered in .270 Win. It was not good---leave it at that.

Next was a Winchester model 70 push feed in 270 Win and it is a good rifle.

Then came a Ruger 77 Markii Standard in 25-06 that I bought for my son. Bingo! I love that gun, and since he isn't a dedicated hunter it lives in my safe so it gets used (by me) for deer and antelope.
