In SE Texas, the fastest woods rifle I ever used was a Marlin 1894/44 Mag with factory irons. Pure poison! I did almost as well with a Win Mod 94 Classic carbine ( except the heavier barrel made a "slight" difference in getting on target fast.) Here in Utah, I like the Remington 700 MR, and the Win 70 FWT Classic, or similar. They are a bit "light in the britches" out on the windy prairies, but thats a different kind of hunting too.
