Most of my deer have been with "rifle"d slugs or muzzleloading "rifle" but here is my most recent favorite, actual, rifle. M70 SS Classic 7mm RM, Echol's EDGE, PT+G Al bottom metal and VX3

1tnhunter, I think with the hand fitting required, the 99 was to expensive to make.. Had three at one time.. only one now...

castnblast; Thanks for sharing the photos of one of my favorite rifles. I even like the mods you've done on that one.... To be honest though, I'm torn between what looks better in your photo - as calf moose is about the top of the heap when it comes to game meat that I've tried. That sir has the potential to be many, many fine dining experiences. Thanks again sir for your contribution tonight, all the best to you folks and good luck on your remaining hunts this fall. Dwayne Thanks for your kind words Dwayne. Alas, that calf was eaten up far too soon! Very yummy. Regarding the mods to my rifle, I kept all the original parts and had the new ones fitted by Ralf Martini so that the originals could be replaced at a later date. I was very reluctant to do any mods to this old and classic rifle but this way I can have my customized rifle and the original too!

Here's my favorite: A Savage 99 in 308 WIN. It is my Opening Morning favorite. So far it has been around for 3 of my largest bucks. In fact, it only shoots bucks and then I put it away for the year. Hey - did you steel that out of my gun safe? Nope - I just checked and its brother is still there.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

5.56 62 grain TSX or TTSX over 26 grains of TAC in a WW case, the semi auto is handy when a bunch of hogs show up, for deer I only lose one case.

My favorite deer rifle is a T/C Hawkens 50 cal with a 370gr Maxi-Ball and 90grs of FF. Not pictured with the deer. Deer transported in the trunk of a 2007 Ford Focus. Who says you need a truck !!!!!! Ken

I have a Saturn sedan that has taken many a deer on it's last ride including the buck in my avatar, killed last year. It was a bit of a challenge loading that one after dragging it 500 yards in a cold rain with a wrenched back. I don't have a field photo of it yet but I used my current favorite rifle, a LH 700 stainless with a Rock Creek barrel chambered by GAP.

Most used rifles are a pair of Remington Model 7KS rifles, one in .35rem, the other in .350 Mag. . most used muzzleloader is a TC .58 renegade.

I've decided I can't shoot a bolt action in the woods worth a sheit. I've been hunting Savage levers forever. This 284 has been producing for me this year, but any of them will work.
