My 20 yr old Tikka 695 7mm Rem Magnificent is responsible for way over half of the 300 or so big game animals I've been fortunate enough to kill. Partitions in 150 and 160gr did most of it.
I've killed loads of hogs with the first deer rifle I ever had, bought back in 1971, a Marlin 336 30-30. It still wears the old Weaver K4 that I bought at the same time.

A grand total of two! lol I generally don't see many deer where I hunt. Plus, I tend to take 3-4 different rifles when I go, then not bring them again for several years, so it can take a long while for something to get a second chance. I have one rifle I've killed two with, one shotgun I've killed two and one handgun I've killed two... so as a consequence those 3 never go hunting anymore. They have to give all the others a chance. But for rifles... my shortened at both ends .45-70 One of either sex.

760 30-06. Most of those deer the rifle had a $30 blister pack Bushnell Sportview 3x9 on it. Several deer later with a Tasco World class 2x7. The rifle has a Leupold VariX-III 2.5x8 on it now and will untill I'm long gone since High Brass set it up that way.

Rem. 660, 308. Brown Precision stock, Decelator. Redfield mounts, now Talley lightweight Old Redfield Widefield 2x7 accutrac, now Leopold Vari-x ii 3x9 165gr. Ballistic tips, had a fling with Sierra 165gr. BTW (too destructive, IMHO BLC2 or IMR4895
This gun has been a death ray for me, it j u st kills stuff. We had a run, 10 shots, 8 dead deer, 1 miss. Hunting from the ground, no stand/blind, bait, or any rifle rest, often on the move. That's was in a short time, so I remembered it, don't normally keep records.

This one. Sako L579 .220 Swift. Pat did you hunt with Jon Barker on that buck? I met him in out in in the middle of Montana a couple years ago at a card lock fueling up. Real cool guy.
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Interesting collection we’ve mentioned here- seems like we all killed more with rifles when we started before the “looneyism” took hold of us!

First year of production Remington 700 Classic in .243. Not to mention a truck load of hogs with it too.
My Winchester 1980 Model 70 Featherweight in 7x57 would run a close second.
