Just joined the forum. I'm still using the same browning abolt stainless stalker in .270 win that I've been using since 1998. I kill on average 4 or 5 deer a year with it. It has served me well. Prior to that I was using a Remington 7400 .243 for a few years. I keep tinkering with getting a new rifle but with 3 kids and 1 on way deer stands and blinds make more since to spend money on. Bought my oldest a Ruger American compact in 7mm-08 last year, and he killed 1 buck and 4 does on his first year shooting. I'm sure with 4 kids all future guns for a while will be for the kids.
