My deer arsenal consists of the following:
Marlin 336 in 30-30
Marlin 336 in 35 Rem
Ruger 77 in 308 Win (first year production rifle with 3 digit serial number) with 2x7 Leopold
Ruger 77 Mk II 7x57 with 2x7 Redfield (my favorite for deer)
Sportified Peruvian Large Ring 98 Brno Made 7x57 with 3x9 scope
Sportified Persian Mauser Model 98 carbine (19.5 inch barrel) in 8x57 js
Spend most time with either of the 7x57s in my hands when deer hunting. But do like the lever guns just as well.

That's a sweet string of deer rifles.
