Your go to deer rifle? You can only choose one gun and one load. Only one! It might not be perfect for some applications, but it'll do for any deer hunting to be done with a rifle. Also why you would pick it. Mine is a commercial FN Mauser, 7x57,3-9 scope, 150 Partitions, @2700fps. Why, because it's about perfect, for all my shooting up to my, self imposed maximum range of 300yds. Plus, Bell, Corbett and O'Connor. Captdavid

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.
If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
Remington Titanium .270 with KS profile 23" Hart barrel. 110gr. TTSX @3475-3500fps. No hesitations as far as trajectory is concerned this side of 400yds.

I tend to travel a different route than the bolt crowd. Same one I've been using since 1979, Remington 760 Pump Carbine in 30-06, with Leupold Vari X III 1.5X5 scope and 150 grain bullets of one persuasion or another.

"Go To" too me means "all weather, anywhere, horse, truck, ATV, walk in" that being the case, mine is a Ruger Hawkeye stainless synthetic in 358 Winchester, 200 gr TTSX's at 2700 fps guided by a matte 2-7 Leupold in matte cerakoted Ruger rings, a Butler Creek cap for the front lens and a little camo duct tape around the scope tube for the muzzle in case of rain gets it all done with ease.
Having Darren75 here at the 'Fire put an excellent paint job on the stock is all I've done to it, no bedding or floating, no trigger job either, the damn thing will shoot half inch groups when it's not too windy and I'm doing my job.

Nice rifle. For me I'd go with my early 700 Mt Rifle in 30-06 . Leupold 3-9 and 165 gr nosler bt. I've shot deer with it from 10 ft to right at 500 yds .
I have quite a few rifles, but this 2008 production Winchester 308 EW is the only one I've hunted with in 5-6 years. I bought it used in 2009 and hunted with it as is for a year before buying the Edge stock 2nd hand here.
I've experimented with lots of different bullets and loads; if forced to pick one it's be 165 gr Accubonds at about 2750 fps.

Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
