What ever, from several brands and calibers (less than 10, total, you wankers! ):
Is sighted in I have "sufficient" ammo for I feel like.
Quarry, terrain, situation comes into consideration, somewhat, as does means of access.
I can narrow it down some tho - M94 30-30 goes walkabout almost always; 725SA in .260 and the 17" barreled RU Tanger in '06 are likely to be most carried for hunting purposes.

I only own two, and one is a RAR in 7'08 (my backup), so my go-to is "Lil' Ned", Ruger M77 tanger in .257Roberts w/Douglas barrel in a McMillan stock, wearing a Bushnell 3200 Elite 2-7X.

Remington 700 CDL, 30-06, 6x Leupold. Elk, pronghorn, mule deer, wolf, black bear, and grizzly. Shoots great, feels like part of me. A trusted choice. I did have it pillar bedded and the barrel free floated, then swapped to a Timney trigger. And more... Photo when it had an older 2-7x Redfield: Regards, Guy

I have 2 rifles that I will use for hunting. Deer hunting I prefer my 300 savage model 99. Moose hunting I use my Belgium made Browning BAR 300 win mag. I have a few others but these are my personal go too’s.

For the last two cow elk hunts, antelope and Coues hunts, I have been using a Winchester 70 Super Grade chambered in 6.5 WSM. With suppressor, it is a little front heavy, so I need to lop off a few inches of the barrel. The last two elk succumbed to the 124 Hammer Hunter and I am pleased with its performance. Hope to draw a nice antelope tag in Wyoming with my 11 points and this rifle will be the go-to.

I have a number of rifles in different rounds that I hunt with. The one constant though is there is always a .270 of some sort in my truck. My favorite is a 700 BDL that I have had over 35 years. My most used in a number of years now is a Stevens 200. It is ugly but it is a great dependable tool. The .270 works well for everything I hunt and there is not a camp or ranch in Texas where you could not scrounge up enough ammo to hunt with if you were to forget or run out of ammunition.

No such thing as a "go to" rifle for a rifle loony. Just sayin.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

What is your go to rifle and caliber? What do you hunt with it ??? Just checking to see what others run... I am looking to get something new.. Mine for deer is a m77 270win for deer... Hope all is well..... Current go-to is a 6.5 Creedmoor. Love this rifle. Easy to shoot well which contributes more than a bunch to effectiveness on critters. John

My go to is a Rem 700 SS 25-06 Mountain rifle in a Ti stock from the 1994 1995 era with a 100Gr TTSX or 120 Hornady HP or same rifle in a 280 with 140 TTSX or 139 SST. Seems to handle everything in Pa. quite well.

Yep. I have different rifles for different states/hunts/stands. If I really had to pick though, I’d say my Win M70 fwt in .280 Rem.
