......... must have shot 300 deer, every one with the mighty 7mm STW and first gen 140 gr Nosler ballistic tips at 3600 fps, smoked the throat and a lot of deer ass' with that rifle, it was a brand new Winchester classic Laredo when I got started, had an old 6.5-20x40 AO Leupold twister spray painted flat black on top.  Got a good chuckle out of that description. I can just see it happening......! LOL, you bet JG, I had just graduated from the PO [blow a primer] Ackley and Layne [3600 fps or bust] Simpson schools of ballistic studies!
Trump Won!

Since we just flipped over to "rifle legal" use in the counties I hunt in the last 7-8 years I've been rotating the use. The .243 has probably killed the most, followed by the 7mm-08........

Knight MK 85 50 cal stainless steel I bought in 1990. Up until a couple years ago we could not use centerfire rifles. Shotgun with slugs or muzzleloader was the only option. This muzzleloader will shoot.

I have never kept a rifle over 3 years or so but I guess I've killed the most deer with a .308 Win in some sort of Remington 700 or one of many model Seven's I have owned........Hb

Browning A bolt 30 06. Most with Winchester 150 grain power points. They'll do everything a premium bullet will do on deer at less cost.

Ruger AllWeather MK II in 280 Remington (50+ kills)
Thompson Encore in 280 AI (20+ kills)
Weatherby Mk V in 7 Wby (10+ kills)
In that order. All three of them are point, bang, flop.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

I killed 22 whitetail and about a dozen aoudad with my 700 in 7-08 this season. I moved from a 140 grain accubond to 140 hunting ballistic tip this year because I was shooting 300 rounds instead of 20.
long before Rodriguez stole that goat.

Gotta be my Savage Model 99 EG. It was previously owned by one of the original members of our deer camp in Pa. We always referred to them as the Olde Guard, and are very lucky that they left us with this camp to carry on such time honored traditions. I've also taken quite a few with my dad's old Mauser 30-06, but the 99 is usually the first gun off the rack when deer season comes.

I have a .30/06 Model 70 Featherweight that has taken fallow, red, mule, pronghorn and whitetail deer, plus an aweful lot more Aussie game.
It is my buddy now. The curves are very familiar in my hands.
