A Model 70 XTR in .257 Roberts remains my "go to" rifle.

.300 Weatherby Mag · October 11, 2010, 04:25 PM

Winchester Pre-64 Model 70... Built in 1954, sent to Roy Weatherby in 1955 to be punched out to .300 Weatherby... Scope is a Leupold VX-III... The rifle was bought new by one of my grandpa's neighbor's in Wyoming who used it to take all of his Elk, Deer and Antelope from 1954 till he passsed in 2006.. It's one of those, if this gun could talk kinda of deals... Its actually not all that heavy, handles well but kicks like a mule... Accuracy is still well within acceptable, but I see the writing on the wall.. Is it a lot of gun for deer? Yes it is... I feel confident with it in my hands..

Sako 75 in 30-'06
Topped with a Swaro 3-9x 42
Gift from the wife one Christmas

hoytinak · October 11, 2010, 05:39 PM

Mine's a 1979 Marlin 336 30-30 with a nice walnut stock and Bushnell 1.5-4.5 scope.

kraigwy · October 11, 2010, 06:33 PM

I'm with Quincunx:

My go to rifle for deer and antelope is a Model 70 Featherweight in 257 Roberts.

When I move up to Elk, its a Model 70 Featherweight in 270 Win.

7MMGUY · October 11, 2010, 06:59 PM

Kimber Superamerica 7mm-08 looks good, shoots good, light and easy to carry.

ritepath · October 11, 2010, 07:11 PM

Mine is my 270 BAR...However.com it could be whatever is in my hands when a nice buck decides to show up.

DiscoRacing · October 11, 2010, 07:12 PM

Howa 1500 in 30-06.... Might try out my Browing BBR this year tho....cept I think 300 mag is a little big for a whitetail.

Jo6pak · October 11, 2010, 07:15 PM

OK, I'll play this old game.

DiscoRacing · October 11, 2010, 07:18 PM

or maybe a 500 mag this year

taylorce1 · October 11, 2010, 08:12 PM

Don't have a picture of it but my old Parker Hale 1200 in .270 Win is my favorite deer rifle. Although I've killed more with my .50 cal muzzle loader. However my .270 Win just screams Mule Deer!

BIG P · October 11, 2010, 10:20 PM

REM 7600 PUMP IN 270 is My go to rifle. Not only deer but everything that walks,slithers or crawls.

**44 AMP** · October 11, 2010, 11:39 PM

Remington 600 carbine in .308 Winchester. My first deer rifle, given to me by my father. I still have it. I also have maybe a dozen other rifles as good, some maybe better, but that one is special, and will always be my favorite.

Bamashooter · October 11, 2010, 11:59 PM

i have alot of rifles but my favorite to hunt with would be my 03 Springfield made by remington in 3-44. it has a birdseye maple stock and a burris ff2 scope. one of the best shooters i have ever owned.

dodge · October 12, 2010, 08:37 AM

Savage 110 in 30-06 although my Winchester 70 in 308 is fast becoming the number 1. I have had the Savage for quite a few years and the Winchester for only a year and half. Used it only one season so far and dropped a deer the first morning/hunt tht I used it.

spclPatrolGroup · October 12, 2010, 10:06 AM

.270 A-Bold stainless stalker with a nikon 3x9x50 Monarch scope. A close second is my CVA Accura .50

SFW · October 12, 2010, 10:08 AM

Remington 700BDL in .270 with a Nikon Buckmaster scope.

pbrktrt · October 12, 2010, 10:55 AM

Weatherby Vanguard in 270 Win with a Leupold VX-II 3x9x50. It works real well.

Scorch · October 12, 2010, 11:09 AM

Ruger 77R in 7X57. I have hunted with this rifle on and off since 1978. Not the most accurate, but it feels right.

jimbob86 · October 12, 2010, 11:11 AM

Remington 721 in .270 WIN, inherited from my Grandfather. Now THAT is "Old School".

eddyb74 · October 12, 2010, 11:18 AM

Main rifle is a Win. M70, .30-'06 with a Simmons ATEC 3.8-12x

Back up is an 03-A3 built in '44, sporterized with a Redfield 3-9x

rickdavis81 · October 12, 2010, 11:45 AM

This year it'll be my new Remmy 700 Sendero in 7 Rem mag topped with a Nikon Monarch 4-16x42. We'll get to see what the 180 gr bergers do!

trophyrider · October 12, 2010, 01:05 PM

This year I will be using a CZ 550 American .308 topped with a Leupold VX II 3x9. My backup rifle is a Winchester Model 100 .308.

howlnmad · October 12, 2010, 01:57 PM

My baby and favorite hunting partner is my Rem 700 BDL IN 7MM Rem Mag. She's been pillar bedded and glassed. Atop is a Nikon Monarch scope and she rests on a Harris bi-pod. Loves to launch 120 grn Nosler Ballistic Tips over IMR-4350 powder. I hope her little sister,in 270 Win, treats me good as well. Sorry if that sounds creepy but it's the first brand new gun I ever got. Thanks to the missus.
