Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your favorite lightweight short barreled deer rifle???

My Marlin 1895 45-70 guide gun, had not used it for a couple of years because I was using my new .270, but broke it out this year made a nice off hand shot at a little over 100 yards, she went down like lightning struck her. I tooe a lot of hogs and deer with it over the years.
