Favorite deer catridge/rifle.

[h8brick]

My Ruger Model 77 chambered in .270 Winchester is my favorite deer rifle, flat and fast out to 300 yards which is good enough for me and the bucks I’m chasing. View attachment 328549

And its the # 1 rifle for mulies i see on lots of other sites , weird how its hardly mentioned here its my favorite as well good choice!!

This is a question I'll never get sick of contemplating!

Current favorite is the 270 WSM...a 140 grain Berger Classic Hunter at 3300-3400 fps is lightning in a bottle. Bought my 270 WSM specifically as a mountain muley rifle...2 for 2 so far.

For timber WTs in NW Montana and N. Idaho...my .243 gets the nod...5 pound rifle, light and handy for still hunting...enough horsepower to reach out to 4-500 yds in some of those burns/clearcuts if needed, but way more comforrable inside that 300 yd range.

Rifles, shotguns, and fly rods...a man can never have too many.

I just bought a 270wsm in a kimber 8400 montana , was curious did u try the nosler accubonds 140gr in your rifle ? I bought 4 boxes at scheels still waiting on scope and mounts

Sweet rifle! I haven't shot any Nosler bullets in the WSM but if I did it'd be either the 140 ABs or 130 Etips

I like my Browning SS a-bolt2 in 308 with boss, it will shoot cloverleaf one whole groups when tuned with my handloads, very mild recoil and you can get ammo anywhere. Now second is Browning SS a-bolt2 in 3006 this does not have a boss but shoots sub. inch all day, it too is easy to get ammo. Both rifles will shoot out far enough for me, 500yd. 308 and 600yd. 3006 and both well under 1000$

Up until last year I was lugging around a hand me down 300 H&H. Great shooter, I could use 30-06 shells in it in a pinch, if I didn't get time to reload.

You can WHAT? I’ve done a lot of shooting amd a lot of reading about shooting for 40+ years and that’s the first time I’ve seen that. Can anyone point me to more information about shooting 30-06 in 300 H&H rifles? That does not sound right to me.

Weatherby vanguard series 1 chambered in 7mm rem. Simple, easy, working man's rifle that just gets things done. Can always find ammo and relatively cheap to shoot.

DO NOT SHOOT 30-06 THROUGH A 300 H&H unless you plan on taking a trip to the E.R.!

I like my old browning A-bolt .270 with Remington core-lokts.

The 30/06 in a 300 H&H thing sounds sketchy

Yeah I think I will point that original post out to the moderators. Never get a need to do that before.

The older I get ( now 61) the more traditional I become. Both in cartridges, rifles and sexual positions. 270/30-06 does it all with modern bullets. Hand checkered walnut with deep bluing. Smaller scopes. The smell of Hoppe's No.9 and gun oil.

257 Weatherby Mag. with 100 gr. ttsx's. Flat out bad mutha.

 

[silewski11]

300 win mag with 150 grain softie! Good all around cartridge for me and can up the grains for elk

Kimber Montana in 280 AI hand loaded with 160 grain Nosler Accubonds.
Or
Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 featherweight in 270 with Nosler Accubonds or Partitions.

For me it’s a .25-06 with a 120 grain projectile. I’ll say though this caliber is standard issue for our family.

 

[Horsepuller]

My favorite rifle is the one I’m holding when a nice buck strolls into view…

 

[jpmulk]

Currently I shoot a Tikka 7mag for everything. 162 grain eldx. I’ve been really happy with it and no animal has ever gone far after getting hit. I’d be interested to learn more about the 6.5 prc or the 7-08.

 

[Rifleman1st]

Rem Mdl 7 in 7mm-08. It shoots 140 gr Partitions into itty bitty groups.
