I hunt primarily with a Marlin 30/30 in the thick woods of NY's Catskills. I use Speer 150 grn Grand Slam bullets handloads. The longest shot I have ever taken is 68 yards in 22 years. I only missed once with it at a running fox in west Texas:rolleyes:. The only rifle, I stand hunt with. On drives I take the .12ga Mossberg slug gun.

Literally too many to choose from

Savage 116 30.06 w/ Nikon 3x9x40

Marlin 336W 30-30

Mossberg 4x4 300 Win Mag w/ Nikon 3x9x40

Tikka T3 in 25.06 w/ Nikon 4.5x14x40

Remington 870 w/Nikon 2x7x32

Shoot them all well, going to be a coin toss on which I take during the different days of the seasons, and in which state.

Used two for deer hunting...

I got started using a Winchester Lever action 30/30, which my younger brother now uses. I now have a gun I got from my grandfather. It's a Remington Woodsmaster Semi-auto 30-06, it's the same model Michael Waddell grew up using (whatever model that is). I've forgotten what model # it is, but I remember him making a statement about it on a show.

Remington 700 ADL 30-06 with Simmons 3x9x40 glass the 700 speaks for itself.Also Have Marlin 336 in .35 Remington with 4x Bushnell its awsome thick country round short easy to shoot was my main gun till I upgraded a fews years back still keep it on the ready for those thick hard to hunt situations.
