My new favorite is a Model 70 .308 with old Burris sight. Not too much to look at, but I dropped two deer with it this season. One fell dead in its tracks and the other made it about 20 feet. Handles well with a light trigger pull

Another Winchester 71 fan. Have my dad's that he bought new and a custom stocked one. Shoot them both a lot as I managed to stock up on both Hornaday and Remington core-lokt bullets for reloading. Favorite load is 59.0 IMR4350. When the hunting gets rough a Marlin Glenfield in 35 Remington goes out.

My favorite is an early Remington 760 carbine in 280Rem. Most of our hunting is in hilltop scrubs and swamps, both deer and bear havens. Foul weather backup is a Winchester model 70 in 7MM08.

Thinking about this one, not the one that has taken the most deer, however the one that I like to carry the most.
It usually stays in camp unless the weather is cooperating. Hunting mid coast maine, shots from 20 yards to 300 plus. While walking I remove the scope and it handles like a shot gun, but while hunting in a stand the scope goes back on. 270 drops them like a rock. |

I love the classics. Here's one:
Winchester M 94 SRC.jpg This was owned by one of the early Nevada cowboys from days long gone now. Built in the year 1900. He was a rifleman, now long gone. Put a lot of meat on the table with this carbine. This came to me from a descendant of the family about 20 years ago. I don't understand how family members can let these heirlooms go, but here it is. Winchester M 94, Saddle Ring Carbine. .30 WCF. If it could only speak. Lives on my living room wall above a mule deer I took way back in my younger days. Winchester M 94 SRC.jpg |

This little 18” Mannlicher Schoenauer in the somewhat anemic 6.5x54 MS has worked its way into the fav category . I’ve killed four deer with it using four different 140 grain bullets .

I recently took custody of a custom build (maybe my last as the smith has retired). I came across a shortened Mauser action allegedly done by Pete Grissel. I had it stocked in a nice piece of American Black Walnut just to be different from all the English on other guns. With the scope (Leopold VariX3 2.5-8) it weighs just 7lbs. Caliber a classic of course 250 Savage.
