Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your favorite deer rifle?

the 270win in a tikka t3 lite.

or maybe browning abolt in 7mm-08

or maybe savage 111 in 7mm mag

depends on the mood

i have killed way more with the 270,i've owned 8-10 different ones,savage,remington,tikka,encore,sako,winchester it doesn't make much differents what brand ,still a great deer caliber.

Ruger 1A Shilen 24" 1-9" 257 Roberts, Leupold VXII 2-7x33. It loves 100 gr Partitions

This gets my vote as the coolest wildcat on the CF....ingeneous.



My favorite deer rifle? Pre 64 M70 270 FW. Surprise! surprise!

Ditto!

very impressive

Late 1980's Custom Shop Remington 700KS with the Brown Precision stock chambered for the great .270WCF with a 24" tube. Sports a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40 in Conetrol mounts.
Hunt thick mixed forest interspersed with logging clearcuts. Some places visibility is only feet and in others farther than I'd shoot.

This one.
Rem 700, restocked in claro. Blank turned by Milliron.
.270win, various Leupold scopes have been on deck. Right now she wears a 2.5x8.
Last critter she killed was a cow elk.

oh are we doing this again?

I'll go with this one today









probly change my mind tomorrow.

Remington M760 in 30-06 running 165gr Hornady SPs over H-4350. It works for me.

My favorite.
700 in 7mag. leupold 4.5x14x40 with M-1's in talley LW's
Clasic stock in grey/white/black swirl

Many choices here, but my favorite has to be my M700 Classic in 6.5X55, with 129 Horn. Interlocks pushed by H4350.

Second choice is Ruger Mark II in .270 Win., many load choices.

Hey Buffy I've got the twin to your stock on my custom 264 win mag..actually it's not on the gun just replaced it with a composite to lighten it up...side by side from a distance I bet you couldn't tell them apart...will see if I can get a picture out to you one of these days..Regards.....FLEM

+1. While I've not owned many 270 Win rifles, I started with that caliber and I'll end with it. For me it just seems to work great on deer and I've tried a bunch of different calibers over the years. My favorite rifle now is a Model 70 Classic that I bought used. Other than adding a Leupold 6 x 42 scope, I've done nothing to it. I use the regular Hornady 130 gr IB ammo in it, though this year I'm gonna try some Federal Power-Shok ammo with 150 gr RN bullet. With this being said, I'm eyeing my SIL's Savage 270 with Accutrigger. I bought it for him and put a Leupold 6 x 36 scope on it. However, he's in the Navy and lives out of town. So, I guess I'm gonna have to keep it broke in. With the exception of Hornady's LM 130 gr IB ammo, this rifle is very accurate with any load I've tried. No knock on the Hornady LM ammo, the Savage just doesn't like it. It shoots the regular Hornady 130 IB factory load great. Go figure.

Almost forgot, I hunt in SE MS, where in over 17 years of hunting in this location the farthest I've ever shot a deer is about 125 yards. There is a possibility of longer shots up to 350 yards, if a big buck is ever dumb enough to come out in the open next to the camp house. Thus far, none have cooperated.

A tie depending on where I am hunting...both are REM600s one in 338Fed (top) and the other in 7mm-08.

remington 760 in 6mm rem. 4.5x14 leupy. north central mo. crop fields and brushy draws.

That is a nice looking rifle. I could use something like that. Nice picture also.

wife is setting up a photo studio in the basement, so a thought i'd give her a subject to work with.

that 6mm is the cat azz around here.

deer ain't hard to kill, plus it's very accurate with factory ammo, and no recoil to speak of.

Now that's my kind of shooter!!!!

Nice choices, is that a 308 or 358 Win lever?

Himmel, gotta love those handles on those 600s and good caliber choices.

Those 257s above are nice, the Mauser Ackley and the #1 Bob, very sweet.

Lastly, that NICE 358 WSSM, I have seen a few, very few, not much would be rarer to see in the woods, well outside IN.

Below is a Win M70, not mine, pic from another site: 358 Indiana Express by 'Big Earl' on AR site.





Below my be my current fav, a 6.5x55 w/Zeiss 4x and 130 ABs:







I did enjoy using my Dakota Predator last year on 2 deer, its a 6mmBR.



Not a great shot of the rifle, but it's PRETTY...and DEADLY ACCURATE as you can see. 95 BTs at around 2900 work!

My favorite is a Browning A-bolt Micro .308. Topped off with Talley Lightweights and a Zeiss Conquest 2.5-8. I mainly hunt the mountains of east TN.
