Whats everyones favorite deer rifle ,i have a few but my all time is the weatherby vanguard in a 7mm rem mag with a timney 2 lb trig and a bushnell banner in 6x18 shoots sweet

 

[smokinfz1]

I have a weatherby vanguard in 7mm rem mag that is quickly growing on me, but I have a browning 1885 .270 win that will probably always be my favorite rifle.

Browning A Bolt II (1994 version) in 270 WIN, with BOSS

My "go to" for the last good while (when I hunt with a gun) has been a stainless Ruger 77 MK II boatpaddle in .300 Win Mag. It's got a Weaver 2-10x38 on top and hits where I point it. It's already ugly. So I don't have to worry about getting it wet, muddy or messy.

I've got an old Turk 38 that I sportered because it looked like it had been dragged down a road when I got it. Its still 8mm and I handload 150 gr. Speer spitzers in it. I killed a good deer with it last year. I've also got a .308 that is pretty handy.

Model 70 in 270 Winchester. Boring? Yep.

2lb trigger on a hunting rifle? I'm glad to know you always practice good muzzle control.

 

[243dave]

Winchester 94 trapper chambered in 45colt. It may be small and look like a toy but when loaded with 300gr bullets and lots of h-110 it hits deer hard and being 5.5lbs its the easiest gun I've ever had the joy to carry around.

 

[hillestadj]

My favorite rifle purely for deer hunting would have to be my BLR chambered in .308 Win.

My all time deer rifle (mule deer & whitetail) and anything else in the catagory of big game, was a Belgium Browning Safari rifle in the .300 Winchester Magnum caliber. I carried that rifle for over 25 years and it never let me down. Then I went to the lighter smaller caliber in the form of the model 70 Winchester in the 1/4 bore known as the 25-06 for some 15 years. It killed em just as dead as the bigger .300 Win mag!!!

My favorite woods gun for hunting deer in my own area, is a lever gun that is fast to shoulder and packs a big punch too. It also makes a very nice size hole and has exited evertime it hits paydirt. The Triple 4, most call the .444 Marlin is a can do does do for me on my whitetail deer hunts. I have been shooting Hornady Leverevolution ammo in the 265 grain bullet and it shoots flat out to 200 yards.

 

[Davers]

My favorite Deer Rifle at the moment is my Browning A-Bolt "Hunter" in .308. Also like my Ruger Model 77 MKII in .270.

Amen to that. Mine favorite is also my Ruger M77 Boat Paddle 300 win mag, only mine is blued not stainless.

Model 70 in 270 Winchester. Boring? Yep.

Me too.

Boring? Not a bit. I don't find anything that works that well boring.

 

[broom_jm]

Me too.

Boring? Not a bit. I don't find anything that works that well boring.

For some guys, a gun that always does precisely what you ask of it, in predictable fashion, is boring. That's where 270 and 30-'06 haters come from. When I shoot 3/4" groups with 140gr AB's that I know will be incredibly effective on deer, hogs and even elk, I get a bit excited, but I don't expect Tang or RJ to do the same.

 

[Tnhunter]

I'd suppose that a pre '64 M70 Featherweight in .270 is as dear to me as any rifle I own. It wears an older 4X Burris FF scope. A BLR/.358 with steel receiver runs a close second though.

 

[RaySendero]

Custom 1941 M70 Winchester in 270 WCF. Boring? - H3LL NO:

 

[Guidedfishing]

I have two, and it just depends on where I'm hunting and or how I'm hunting. Its either the .280 Rem in M77 Hawkeye or 35 whelen in M77 Hawkeye.

140 gr Nosler BT out of the 280. and 220 gr Speer's out of the .35. a few of the greatest rounds based on the 06 parent.

good luck, shoot straight and shot often.

[nigonjac]

Browning A-Bolt in .270

 

[tuck2]

I purchased a Winchester Model 70 270 in 1952 which I still have .I have used it to take pronghorn, mule deer, elk and some unwonted critters. That old rifle is the one I like to most. But over the years it was fun to try out other cartridges and rifles.
