When I thought about it, I've used more than I expected.

I've killed between 90 & 100 deer, maybe 20 of them were with a gun. This doesn't include one with a '79 Ford Fairmont, a '19 Tahoe, and a '21 Silverado. I damn near got one with a '14 Porsche Cayenne that was a loaner from the stealership. That would have been fun to explain!! :ROFLMAO:

270 win. My first rifle that i bought. remington 700
308 win. My grandpa gave me his remington 700
7X57 mauser. My dads uncle gave him this rifle. Ruger M77
300 win. Rbros custom build
50 cal Muzzy. TC Omega
6.5cm Tikka

Any more the 6.5cm gets the go unless i want to use something thats more sentimental.
 
Ive always had a bunch of rifles but did 75% of my deer hunting with a 270 and 25% with my 30-30. Skewing more and more away from the lever gun in more recent years.

Last year I hunted with a Tikka 223, next year it will be a 6 creed which I think is where I am settling as my main gun. Though I do have a 6.5 PRC is the very unlikely circumstance I think I need more range than the 6 creed can provide. Right now I cant out shoot the 6 creed anyway so it does not really matter.
 
Although I've shot more, here are the current ones I own and use every year and can. Between them, I something that works very well for every north America game species:
22 for practice
7mm-08 for the wife and kids
30-06
35 whelen
50 cal muzzleloader
 
35 Rem Marlin 336
30-30 Marlin 336
30-06 Sears M53 (Win M70)
257 Wby in a Wby Vgd
270 Win in a Win M70
6.5cm Wby Vgd

35 Rem got redone recently and I'm gonna be putting a 1-6 on it. The 270 I put in wood stock and want to rebarrel to 280 AI if I ever get time to mess with the blank. The 6.5cm is my newest acquisition and I got 2 whitetail last year with a SWFA 3-15 on top but I traded some stuff around and it'll have a NF SHV 4-14 on it this year. I have a 6GT as well but I don't think I'll wanna lug that 22lb rifle into the woods
