Rifle choices...
I use several rifles depending on where I am hunting...I currently hunt in several states (MI, WA and OR most years) all with handloads...
I'm also a lefty, so have limited options...
My favorites are:
Remington 700 BDL LH in .270 WIN with a 150g Nosler BLT (Mr. Reliable!) topped with a 3-9x40 Swift (I really love Swift Scopes)
Savage 99 in .308 WIN with 150g Nosler BLT for Deer and 165g Partitions for Elk (I've hunted with this guy for 20+ years and he's never let me down) topped with an older 4-12x50 Bushnell (Trophy series???)
Tikka T3 lite stainless in 270 WSM....my new first love loaded with 130g Nosler Accubonds and topped with a Nikon 3-9x40
Remington 700 BDL LH in 7mm Rem Mag loaded with 150g Nosler BLT's also topped with a 3-9x40 Swift....don't use it much since I got the 270 WSM
Browning BLR in .243 WIN loaded with 100g Nosler solid bases (which are no longer made...fortunately I bought 400+ rounds when I was in Bend years ago) and topped with an ooooooold 3-9x40 Leaupold VX III and mostly used for pronghorn hunts
If I could only keep one...boy it would be a toss up between the .270 WIN and the .308 WIN
