Hi there partner…..good to see you came in for a visit!

Nice firearms…..pretty nice critters too! memtb

Not just deer, pretty much anything in North America. 1959 WBY MK V 300WBY with a 2-7 WBY scope. Been replaced by a modern MK V, but the old one is still my favorite

My LH stainless 700 that I put a takeoff .257 Wby stainless fluted factory barrel on. 90 gr Absolute Hammers at 3800 fps. 2" high at 100 yards puts me point blank out to 400 yards. Formerly 100 gr E tip at 3600 fps. It has gotten the job done for me from 50 yards all the way to 425 yards.

Probably this one, its a custom Tikka in 25 Creedmoor. One of the firsts probably, made some of my best shots ever with it. KRG Bravo, Xcaliber 22" 1:7.5. Put down three elk and over a half a dozen deer in its first 3 seasons, including the furthest deer I've ever shot, cold bore shot dropped him in his tracks dang near.

Depends on the Situation
But mostly; 1952 Remington 760 257 Robert's with the trigger done; wearing a Redfield 3-9 wide field

if i had to pick one it would be my steyr pro hunter in 7mm-08. It is more than capable of handling of 99% of the deer hunting i do. it is lightish in weight and handles very well

Rem 700 in 30-06, magpul hunter stock and arken scope

Tikka 270wsm all-around choice in the west for me.

Model 700 CDL 7 rum

Browning Xbolt Hells Canyon Speed LR 280AI.

My favorite is my Ruger #1A 6.5×55 my most accurate and #2 is my Howa 7-08 wearing quilted maple.

Favourite rifle for me is my Kimber 8400 select in 300WM, grab that one the most, but also my Win Model 70 EW's in 264WM & 338WM.

Cheers.

700 in 260 remington. Originally bought it as a 1964 adl in 243 with a monte Carlo stock. I shot most of my deer with it including my biggest buck. After I wore out the barrel I had hart put a 26" varmint contour in 260 remington on it.
