Just realized I never answered my own poll. Came to hunting a little late... was in college when I bought a Remington 770 in 300 Win Mag. (My logic was "I'll only have one rifle so it needs to cover everything!" Little did I know about the looneyism haha!) The trigger was awful, the recoil pad was awful, but it was actually a very accurate gun. Killed several deer before finally upgrading to a Model 70 in 280.
