I thought I would bump this up. If your thinking of buying a new gun or you are new to hunting, you can puruse through these and find out what most of members use. If you have an interest in a particular firearm then you will know who to ask questions to.

I just ordered another 270 last week and traded off my 300WMg Savage. I am getting another CZ 550 American with the single set trigger, like my 23 1/2" barrelled 9.3x62, and if this one shoots like I expect it to, then later this fall I'll swap or sell my Tikka 270 or the 338 WMg M70 Win Classic for another, my third, CZ in a 20" barrelled full stock something...maybe another 270 or '06, 6.5x55? or maybe even another 9.3x62 for something to use as a 75-100 yard brush gun on critters up to "elk or big piggies in the dark woods" size or bigger African stuff if I ever get to go. A 20" barrelled '06 will do everything I need stateside except the big bears... but a 9.3 throwing 286gr Partitions will do it even better than an '06 throwing 200's or Round Nosed 220's and is not too bad a bear gun either!!!

This is the thread that I posted in my first day here! How time flies. I still use the 30.30, but as some of you know some lowdown, swampwater drinking, scoundrel, malefactoring crackhead stole my 7MM08. This is my first post (as I write in tears... ) Quote:
7MM08 Remington here. Deadly little gun and fun to shoot. I have it all cammoed out and everybody wants to use it. But, they can want all they want to. Not gonna happen. It's 20 years old and solid as a rock.

375 H&H with 250 grain Barnes "X" is my favorite. # 2 is my 35 Whelen with 225 grain "X" bullets and, # 3 looks like it may be my new CZ 458 Win. Mag. with 350 grain Hornady Round Nose Bullets.

My favorite deer rifle is a Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight in 270. If I were to buy a new one I would get a new Featherweight in 270WSM. I also prefer the Leupold Vari X III 3.5 to 10 scope.

Somehow missed this thread. Either that or I was afraid to admit that I as well got my deer rifle from "pink honda". 22lr.
My all time favorite was a Ruger in 25-06 I used to have. Wish I still did. My favorite now is a Rem. in .270.
