I prefer a 260 Rem, a 7mm-08 and the 7mm Mag in that order.

Partial to my 270 and occasionally like going old time with the lever action 30-30 through the timber

My older Sako .25-06 is the rifle I use most often for whitetail. If I am hunting BIG bucks and I may be looking at a 300 or 400 yard shot, or I may be also getting a chance at a bull elk or moose, I switch to my .300 Weatherby (built on a Sako AV action).

i have a .260 rem model 7 which is a youth and i used it my first couple years hunting and i never once had problem with dropping them with a nice shot. i now bought a 300 wsm and that does put 'em down no problem but i like the 30-06 for deer in Wisconsin.

30.06 sprg
.308 win
12 ga 00 buck or slug depending on thickness of cover

I'm a fan of the 30-06 I have a 7600 pump and had it for years . my buddy has a 270 . If anything ever happened to the 06 .I would be faced with one tough decission . The 06 or the 270 . I don't even want to think about having to make that choice . LOL

Rifle- Winchester Model 7 30.06

Shotgun- Remington 870 pump action 12 ga. w/ Remington slug barrel and rifled slugs.

Another vote for the Remington 7600 in 30-06.

had a 7600 in 270.great deer rifles them 7600's. quick in the heavy bush it was great.wish i still had it ,) ,) ,) ,)

I prefer my 280 rem with handloaded partitions. But i also use a 7mm Rem Mag & a 30-06 on occasion.
