Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Your favorite deer caliber and rifle?

If I had to hazard a guess, it would be my old tang-safety Ruger 77 .270, but that was a long time ago, and the barrel got shot too hard for too long.

Now I shoot a M70 Winchester in the same .270 Winchester, a Classic SM (Synthetic Matte), restocked with a B&C stock, and topped with a Leupold Vari-XII 3-9. Pretty plain vanilla rifle, really. Never had a moment's issue out of the thing. Once I zeroed the scope, it's never moved. 130 Sierra ProHunter/59.5 H-4831SC, about as boring as it gets. It just kills stuff. No arguments, no fuss. I call it "Old Death", whatever I point it at, dies. The prior Ruger was the same way, though.
