deer rifles

I use a remington model 700 in 30.06 and love it and the accuracy.

Winchester Model 70 in .270 for my rifle hunting.

Most of my hunting takes place in Allegheny Co. so my true deer "rifle" is a Mossburg 500 12ga with a scope and cantilever rifled barrel.

Colt Saur 300 win mag. CVA 50cal Wolf.

Rem. 700 ADL 270,39 seasons and still a tack driver,I've used Rem,243,7/30 walters,Rem 308,but the 270 is my number 1 gun.

Thats 7/30 waters not walters.

i agree with the 06 being the perfect rifle but the 308 seems to  be a great gun to.

Remington Model 700 30.06 very good gun this is the gun I will stick with for years to come after i was using a smaller gun .243 but im still a junior hunter.

I use a rem 700 mountain rifle in 7mm-08.

I use a 300 savage, the old model.. passed down from generation to generation.    It is old, and only seems to like remington core-lok bullets.   Can't get the gun to go off with wincestor.    I spent some time reloaded this year and couldn't get the bullets to fire.   Upon comparison of the corelok reloaded and the corelok store bought, it appeared the primer on the reloaded ones was pushed down further than the factory ones.   So, we suspect the firing pin to be weak.   I've actually had "the click" happen on deer over the years even with coreloks.  But it has never cost me a deer.  I really like the gun, guess I could replace the firing pin but I do believe it's time for a new gun next year.  My procrastination of purchasing a new one is that I only use it a couple hours a year..
