Every year its hard not to keep coming back to the old faithfulls. 7mm 700 BDL and Ruger 77mkII in 270. No matter how many new "improvements" I add to the gun case I keep using these two.

Nice rifles above, Pac-Nor sure knows how to make accurate rifles, even if it is a 338 FEDERAL What taper sir? Nice shooting, perfect load - those 200s. It's the same contour as a factory Savage Varmint barrel.

My fav caliber is 358. My newest gun (although brand new) has become my favorite immediately. I had a Remington 308 carbine autoloader bored up to 358. A 358 auto is just plain cool.... And any 358 is hell on deer. You might like this then.. OH MY!!!! How cool is that?!? .....damn you.. Whilst that is cool .... a couple fellas here several years ago (shortly after WSM's came out) built a .257 WSM and one in .375 WSM .... The .375 Whizzum was THE coolest cartridge I ever saw.

The 280 Remington is overbore.

.308 Browning Safari pencil barrel, on a small ring Mauser, that I bought some twenty years ago. It wears a 4X Zeiss also twenty years old, in Kimber rings and bases. It drives tacks!
If that one does not go with me, it is likely to be a Glenfield 30 in .30-30 that cost $112.95 plus tax, from a pawn shop in recent history. I did replace the cheap Bushnell with a 3X Weaver, but kept the Weaver mounts. Jack

this is a zombie thread from 2 yrs ago, but hey. Currently doing my deer slaying with a Savage 16 in .250 Sav Couldn't ask for better results I have a couple more to choose from for this fall, but none of them will work any better.

This is the newest fav. I , like many here would not have full safes if we could decide. FN Model 70 in 270WSM with a Vortex 4x12 parallax adj. Comes floated and I am working up loads if I could buy powder. Seems to like the Barnes pills... It has not seen blood as it is too new but still I grab it more than any other rifle lately. I hunt from the thick brush of the Oregon coast to the high desert of our eastern wilderness.
