Without a doubt my Remington 660 .243 has taken the largest share of animals including a couple mule deer, Barbary, numerous white-tails and a whole pile of hogs.

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.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

This one. Sako L579 .220 Swift. Not sure which is nicer...the rifle or the Muley. Either way, that one ought to count as 2!

M98 action, Douglass barreled 25-06 and a 100gr Btip. Yup.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Huntsman-love those WT's with a lot of mass. Nice deer!
I suspect it'd would be a toss-up between a Ruger 77 in 25/06 I bought in 1980 (120 gr. Core-Lokts) and a Ruger ultra-light 77, tang-safety, in a 270 Win (130 gr. Core-Lokts).
However, my little Marlin xl7 in a 25/06 is catching up fast. It's amazing how the deer totals go up when you get on a good lease around here where no one messes with you or your stuff. But, I still shoot the 120 gr. Core-Lokts in this rifle as well.

1964 to 1977 it was a sporterized M98 in 8x57, then in March 1978 lost it in a house fire. 1978 to present it is a Marlin 336 in 30-30. Both are great deer calibers.

Early 1970's Ruger 77 -243 cal. After I bought a pre 64 Win in 243 I intended to sell the Ruger. That was three years ago. Ruger out shoots the Winchester and I realized that I'm to attached to get rid of the Ruger. Carried Savage levers the last few years but have only killed one deer with a 250/3000. GW

The first rifle I used that was truly mine, a 99R in .300 Savage. My current M70 SS FW '06 is getting close to passing it.

For me that would be my pre'64 M/70 .35 Whelen with 225 gr. Sierra and IMR 4064.

It's a tie at the moment between my Ruger Ultralight .308 and a Ruger .257 Roberts.

One of my .308s - either my Savage 99F or my Kimber Montana, not sure which, but probably the Savage.

My (formerly my grandpa’s) Marlin 30-30. It had a scope on it in high rise rings until my senior year of high school when I took them off and have been perfectly happy using the iron sights for the last 3 years. Second most is probably the 270 but I go between the 270, 308, 30-06 and 30-30 all season usually.

Hard to say. Gonna have to give the edge to the M70 Classic stainless featherweight in 30/06. I think photo bucket has my only pic of it. Bastards.

Rem 700 hands down for me in 3 different configurations. BDL 243, Classic 35 Whelen , and 700ML 50 cal . I've killed a few with other rifles and shotguns but 90 % were from these 3 the numbers are about equal between the 3.
