Default What's your go to weapon?

As in what do you deer hunt with MOST? Not looking for a list of all that you have but which one do you use most often or have taken the most deer with. It could be a bow, muzzleloader, or centerfire. Make sure to include the caliber and any other details.

I'll start off, I have used my Remington 700 in 30-06 with a sightron SII 3-9X40 since I was 14, but my newly acquired Marlin 308MXLR with Nikon Buckmaster 3-9X40 will be my new go to gun.

Here's some pics of what they look like: (stock photos)

Hopefully my new rifle will become the go to for deer. It's a Cooper M52 in 25/06 topped with a Swaro AV.

I like my 30-06 Weatherby Vanguard. It definitely has the knock down power and has been my go to weapon for everything on my wall so far.
