Wow! This a tough question, I have owned probly 50 to 60 deer rifles over the years and never kept any one rifle much past 3 or 4 years, but I did have a Remington 700 Mountain rifle chambered in 30-06 back in the 80's that I Kept for 6 years or so, I killed 10 or 12 deer with it so I guess that would be the one....Hb

I haven't done more than one with a single rifle yet. I love to rotate and tinker. Had a 1996 Ford Explorer Sport with a big grill guard that killed two, though!

without a doubt, Winchester classic compact in .308. I have been using it for years and years here in Minnesota - some of those years when we could take up to 5 deer a season (no more though). Never failed to perform. Most deer dead right there. A great little rifle.

Killed one deer with a '94 .30-30, and one with a M98 .30-06. Killed a chit-load of caribou (75+) and moose (10+) with the '06, however.  . that is caliber - and others with various rifles, various calibers. I do favor the M98 or Ruger 77 platform. Have a Rem. 700 and 725, also. Maybe one day I'll buy a Win 70...
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Being as I have switched around so often over the last 40 years between 270 WIN, 308 WIN, and 30-06 SPRG it is one of those three.
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

My Ruger m77 in 308, manlicher style, great bolt for the big woods That's the one model 77 I don't have that I would like to own. Since I don't have a 308, that would be fine with me since they are hard to find around here...the old red pad tang safeties, that is.

After 11 pages we seem to have drifted from the OP. I answered at to the specific rifle I used, not the model or cartridge.
Brushbuster: "Is this thread about the dear heard or there Jeans?"
Plugger: "If you cant be safe at strip club in Detroit at 2am is anywhere safe?"

my old ruger tang safety m77 3006 that has been upgraded from the red pad to a soft limbsaver.
the ruger has been challenged by others after becoming a gun looney and reading stuff here making me "want" other stuff. Browning xbolt in 3006 is threatening the ruger position
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Remington 700 BDL or Savage 12FV. I would have to think long and hard to get a count on number of deer killed w each.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
