Hey Ridge Runner, Can I "borrow" any of the weapons in the top pic LOL.......I started out with a .303Brit #4Mk1 and then I bought a Winchester in .308 and then a Traditions E-209 Muzzleloader. After shooting an OK buck with a borrowed 30-06 at just a shade over 400yds I went out and bought a .300WM barrel for my T/C Encore(I now have 3 for it.... .223 26" Heavy BBl, .300WM 26" Heavy BBl, and the newest[and unfired] addition is a .50cal MZ 26" BBl).......Still working loads up in the .300WM (190gr BTSP roughly 2900-3100fps@BBL...not chronied yet, I just bought a gamma master chrony)

Most of my deer hunting is in heavy cover. I like a lever gun, and the Marlin 1894S in .44 mag is my favorite. I have bolt guns, in a variety of 'flavors', but unless the hunt is over a peanut hay field or a clear cut, I take the Marlin.

My choices 40 years ago would have been;
1. 243 win 2. 270 win 3. 300 win mag My choices now are; 1. 6mm rem 2. 280 rem 3. 338-06 A-square I agree with Rocky that they all kill a deer very nicely. I chose them because they give similar ballistics for 3 different bullet weight categories; 1) 80 to 90 gr. for varmints to antelope and deer, 2) 130 to 140gr. for larger deer, hogs, and sheep, and 3) 180 to 250 gr. for elk, moose, bear, etc. I am building a 375 H&H Magnum. It might be one of my 3 choices after I shoot it a few times and it doesn't kick me too hard and if I get a chance to return to Africa. It definitely would be a choice for dangerous game since it is a minimal caliber in most African countries. I was surprised to see it show up so much as a favorite caliber. I have never shot one.

Remington 7400 in .308 and Browning A-bolt in 06 depending on the cover and the shot. Both are deadly.

I shoot a 270 in a Savage 110 and my boy shoots a 243 in a Remington 700. This year I'm thinking about taking my new 223 Rem...... Just kidding Rocky...See ".223 Rem deer rifle???" in the reloading forum.
