I don't think I've killed more than 1 or 2 with any rifle currently in my safe. I've been in a collecting and testing mode for the last several years. Once I kill a deer with one, it goes back in the safe so I can bloody another one.
I guess the one I killed the most with was my first deer rifle, before I got into collecting. It was a Rem 710 in 30-06 that I killed my first four deer with. Once I started collecting and started using some quality rifles, I realized what a POS the 710 was so it went down the road. I don't miss it at all.
After hearing a few good reviews, I thought about trying out one of the new Rem 783 models until I actually handled one in a store. It was heavy, bulky, and handled like a club. Memories of that old 710 came flooding back so I left it in the store.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
