Gator Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 270 reigns supreme the way it should! Amen to THAT, I love my .270, even though it missed a deer last year AND this year:eek::D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDMAworks4me Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 For me it is my .243 with a 85 grain sierra spitzer bullett, what a deadly gun, killed many deer and have tracked very few!! Wouldn't trade it for any gun out there!!! Plus my father gave it to me so it means a lot to me. He shoots a .243 also with the same bullett, he hand loads each one for us.

Dogg6 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 30-06 Remington Pump. Been shooting it for years and love it. When I first started hunting I used a Marlin 30-30 pump. Used that for almost 20 yrs before I bought my 30-06. Had great success with it but we started hunting some larger fields and I needed a bit more distance.

Guest spurcollector Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 30-06. I've owned a few others and this leaves the shortest blood trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubie Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 7mm Rem Mag for me. I hand load my own ammo. No real reason or science behind it, its just the gun I like to shoot best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 6/8 with the 30-30. I love that caliber, but I'm putting the guns away now so pretty soon arrows will be my "caliber" of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlermass Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I own 4 of the calibers listed. The .270 was my first rifle and will always hold a special spot in my hunting memories. My 7mm mag has taken a few deer but in my opinion is too much gun for whitetails, a fine caliber but a touch much, better suited for Elk I think. I got a 30.06 this year and have not hunted with it, but have alwayes admired the versatility of the caliber. Now my .243 has become my go-to-gun in the last two season. After placing a Luepold VXII 4-12x40 AO on top it has been unstoppable in the woods. I have killed one buck and 5 does since Jan 1st 07 (late antlerless and regular firearm seasons) and 3 of them dropped in thier tracks the rest went less than 20 ft after the shot, so the .243 gets my vote as favorite, but the rest have all earned a spot in my gun rack for future hunts. Great list of guns there and no suprise that the .270 heads the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Givan Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I usually use a .30-30 because most of my shots are 100 yards or less. Im going to buy a new rifle soon, a .25-06 for deer and coyote hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
