My vote is for the 250-3000, aka 250 Savage. I built one up for my sons on a Win 70 Compact with a Douglas factory duplicate contour. My sons shot about ten deer with that rifle, all one-shot kills, distance under 100 yards. Ammo was basic Rem green box 100 gr PSP. The little cartridge kills so well and is easy to shoot. As others have said, most under rated rifle for me would be the push-feed 70s, I've seen some back in time that I wish I had to foresight to buy.
