what do you hunt and what gun do you use?

Brown bear - 30.06 Gewahr Mauser, 225gr Sierra Prohunter.

moose, deer, black bear - .30-06 (2 versions), Mossberg .308, several .303's, mossberg 500 12 ga, Winchester Mod 12 12 ga.

deer and coyotes - .243 Win, SKS, Rem 799 in 762x39, 762x54R in a 98/30, 20 ga Rem single shot.

Wolf - same rifles as for bear.

Gophers, squirrels, rabbits, other small varmints - Rem 799, 410, various .22LR in bolts and semis.

I suppose, with the right round, I could use the .30-06 for all and ditch my other stuff. Nah! What fun would that be?

Really want to hunt moose but getting a tag is proving to be a real SOB! If i had a tag though I would probably use my Husqvarna in 30.06

took up hunting about 3 years ago. teaching myself, and have limited time right now so i haven't taken any big game yet. but i'm hunting deer and black bear right now and i'm carrying a Remington 700 SPS DM in 7mm Rem Mag.
 
rifles

moose and elk, 7mm RM on a M70 action with a smith 24'' barrel with a Mcmillan super grade and a 3.5x10x40 VXIII, Bill Leeper did the work
deer, .257 weatherby on a M700 action with a gaillard 26''barrel with a sako hunter Mcmillan and a 4.5x14x40 VXIII, Dennis Sorensen did the work.
Both shoot .5'' 3 shot groups . these groups are for the 257 weatherby but the 7RM is as accurate.

Just acquired a Browning X bolt in 243 that I can't quite decide what to hunt with first... probably everything up to and including deer.
