I've had several "go to" rifles over the years. The first being a very old Rem 700 in 270 WIN. That rifle went all over the country with me killing everything I shot at with it. Next came a Browning Micro Hunter in 7-08. That rifle was as lethal as the 270 but it seemed to be "luckier". IT seemed every time I took that rifle out I harvested an animal. Today, except for bear up our cabin, my go to rifle is my Tikka T3 30-06. Just as light as my Browning but packs more punch and is as accurate as all get out. My go to bear rifle however is my little Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70 or as I like to call it - Thor's hammer!
