Remington 700 Classic, 270 Win. (purchased new in 1981) with Leupold M8 4x and 130 gr. Nosler Partitions or Core Lokts....my go to rifle for PA and NY whitetails.
I had one of those many years ago, except it wore a 2-7x Leupold. Great rifle! I traded it in on a new Ruger Mk II LH in .30/06. That has been my go-to deer rifle since. It now wears a Leupold 2.5-8x. I consider it ideal for me. Some people say a .30/06 is more than is need for whitetails and in principle I agree. I have killed deer with much smaller cartridges and will do so again. However, I just have complete confidence in that old /06.
