Right now my favorite is my 7mm-08 in a Remington Model 700 Classic. The barrel is 26" and its pushing my Hornady 139gr SST at 2940 fps in my custom loads. I have another favorite in a 257 Weatherby Mag that is a really flat shooting gun.

I' dbe hard pressed to pick ONE favorite. Caliber is easy, 308, but gun is another.......Long Range/One SHot, Savage 10FP 26"HB Accu.,..with 4-14x56mm Springfield Armory Scope.
Up close <100 yds or so, my old Remington 742 Carbine in 308....

Tough question there  hehehehehehe 7mag maybe? LOL Mine is a Weatherby with a 6x24 by 50mm Simmons Whitetail Classic. I do use the Ruger 270 and a Marlin 30/30, on ocassion. Just depends on what i'm hunting and where. Everyone seems to be partial to one gun, some of us just stray

Ruger M77 25.06 all weather. Love it. Can kill just about anything you want in Texas. Drop a few grains and kill varmints w/o messing up the hide. Go up a few grains and kill whitetail. Good all around gun. JMO

I've always used a .270 and never had any problems. I would like to shoot a .257 though. I heard many good things about them. I plan to shoot a .300 mag some this year.

I am looking at a Tikka laminated stainless in 270. It is a sweet looking gun and have heard great things about accuracy with that Sako barrel. It is a charcoal grey with a dull finish stainless barrel.

HEY NEW GUY HERE... BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN CALLED A GREENHORN.
DAY BY DAY I PICK WHICH GUN I'LL USE MOST OF THE TIME IT IS A TOSS UP BETWEEN THE REM 300 WM IN 700 BDL CUSTOM DELUXE
OR THE REM 760 IN 6MM
WHEN THE PRESSURE IS ON I SHOOT THE 6MM......WELL NO WAIT MAYBE THE 300.... AWW WHAT EVER I HAD OUT YESTERDAY I'LL JUST TAKE THAT ONE AGAIN.
AS FOR SCOPES I HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT ONES I CAN'T TELL YOU WHICH ONE IS ON WHAT GUN.I WILL SAY I USE CHEAP SCOPES AND THEY ARE ALMOST ALL 50MM OBJECTIVES.
