What's your deer gun?

Your gun matches your name.
 
It varies from year to year.
Last year it was my 5½ lb M600 Remington chambered in 6MM BR, using the 90 grain Scirocco II.
Year before, my 270, and the 140 Accubond.
This year my 260 Remington 700, and the 125 Partition.
Sometimes my 6.5x55 gets the nod, or the 6.5x55AI.
7x57 is always a good partner to have along...the list goes on & on.

my no4 mk1 in my go to gun with a soft nose cast bullet but ive used sks,mosins,shotguns with buckshot and slugs but i mostly have to go for my crossbow as i dont get out of zone 94 much
 
My favorite deer gun is my Winchester model 660 in 3006, with a scope , original wood... my back up rifle is my 303 number one , with a complete over haul , scoped,and synthetic stock. Dang scopes slow me down on the raise , old eyes need the help...
 
Remington Model 700 Mountain Rifle wearing a Leupold Vari-X II 4x12 duplex shooting reloads... Hornady 139 Spire Point @ just over 3000'\s .
 
mosin nagant, lee enfield no4 mark 1 or a swede mauser and once my savage 110 in 7mm Rem Mag. ( yes the 7mm is too much for bambi, but I was a kid then and only had one rifle)
 
A '49 husqvarna in .270 with a 3-9x scope. Amazing gun.

Next year is strictly levers until I take one with grandpas old '94. And afterwards I'm packing my Rossi .44mag with the full stock on my back for anything close.
 
My favourite rifle was an old husky crown grade in .270. The next one in line is a T3 in 6.5x55 with a Bausch and Lomb 3000 2-7x32. It's really good at deer.

I'm trying to get a deer with my marlin 45-70 but it's only been a far out coyote so far. 480gr at 1700 hit it like a buick.
 
In the last few years, I've used

.223 Rem 700 LVSF- feels like you are walking with a pellet gun
.303 British Ruger #1
300WSM M70 built by Leeper
.375 Ruger with McSwirly stock
.45 Colt Winchester Trapper with XS sights

I've used lots of other rifles in the past, but these are the ones I've grabbed recently. If someone said "hey we are going hunting tomorrow for 3 weeks in the middle of nowhere - could get shots at deer, moose, elk,grizzly, sheep and they could be 0-500 yards away- grab a gun and come with us" I'd always grab my 300WSM Leeper. It is my favorite rifle and can do it all, everywhere. It is the perfect NA all around rifle.
 
H&R deluxe slug hunter in 20g for stand sitting. If i feel up for some wandering i'll take the 870 12g with some rifled slugs
 
A tricked out Ruger in 308win.
Lately, this BLR 358win. Just enamoured in her.
Sometimes the Brno 21H comes out. Not often.
And the Marlin 336 terdy-turdy gets a bit of dust on her too.
The Schultz for the flat country.
