Winchester Model 70 .270 Black Shadow with Nikon 3x9x40 Buckmasters scope and Remington 130 grain core-lokts.
or maybe
Remington 700 Classic in 7mm-08 with Leupold 3x9x40 Vari X II with Nosler Ballistic Tip 140 grainers.
I'll have to flip a coin, if the weather is nasty I'll take the Black Shadow.

RE: What gun are you hunting with???
This year's rifle will be my new Remington 700 BDL .30-06. I'll be using handloads, a 165 grain Remington CoreLokt in front of 49.8 grains of IMR 4064, Winchester cases and Federal 210 primers. Going for wild boar.
I did not hunt last year, but 2002's rifle was my Winchester Model 70 Featherweight .243, handloaded with 37 grains IMR 4064 and a 100 grain Hornady Spire Point. Took a doe.
In 2001 I used a Ruger M77 MkII .30-06 with handloads similar to the ones I'll be using this year. Took a boar and a doe. I am retiring my Ruger from service until I resolve the accuracy problems I am having; one group will be tighter than tight, the next 3.5", same everything.[:@]
Next year I will use my shiny new CZ 550 in 6.5x55 Swede. This is the sweetest rifle I have ever owned. Might need one in 7x57 someday!

]Forgot to mention the scopes:
Remington 700 BDL - - Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40
Ruger M77 MkII - - Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40
Winchester Model 70 FWT - - Bushnell Trophy 4-12x40
CZ 550 - - Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40

RE: What gun are you hunting with???
Nice to compare American hunters gear with our Europeans gear.
It seems that we both use same kind of rifles. Sako seems to be widely in use in America as the remington is in use in europe. One thing that I have been thinking is that in America you don't use drillings much? Why??? I think they could be very useful for example turkey hunting? Also with right caliber they can be good with deers.
I use in the moose hunting my Sako 300 WM with Accubond. Scope is smidt & bender 1-6x
With small game (capellairce) I use drilling cal12/222 (sauer&sohn) with sako & rottweil ammo. Scope is removable zeiss 4x.
Please answer me about the drillings. There must be some simply explanation.
