Ruger MKII in 270 win. Its tough as nails shoots 1/2" and the 270 is a straight up killer. Only change I would like is to upgrade the stock.
Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.
True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth.
If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

Weatherby Ultra Lightweight, 25-06 but the Savage in 260Rem works well too.

Tikka 695 synthetic in .280 wearing a Zeiss Conquest 1.75 X 5.5 this past season. Might change first choice scope but the WTH will most likely stay first choice rifle. Stock fits my hand like a glove.

Nice buck Roundoak!
I don't have an ideal whitetail rifle just a lucky one.
Early 90's vintage ADL in 270 Winchester complete with the original tupperware stock. Fairly heavy 22" barrel which is its main attribute, that and it's a 270...
I don't even really like the rifle but it's taken the 4 biggest whitetails I've shot so of course I keep it around.

Savage 99R in 250-3000. The first pic is our typical mountain top WV deer and the second one is the one I got yesterday at 4:00 on the last day in MD, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

I'm no fan of recoil. I've had great luck hunting east and west with my older Glenfield carbine in 30-30. Typical shot distance is less than 150 yards. This dandy mule deer was taken on public land in western South Dakota. Sherwood

The" Ingwe Special" 7x57... Tom, Have you standardized on a single bullet and load for the Mauser or do you use more than one load? John
