My 30-06 is my go-to gun - it has always done the deed cleanly. I would pick my .270 as #2.

I have several rifles that I use from time to time and I like all of them. But if I had to chose just one to keep for deer hunting it would be my old rem 700 in 30-06. Put that gun in the lay-a-way when I was 16 years old and payed it out over the summer working at a grocery store. It has killed lots of deer and would be the last gun that I would ever part with.

So far the 30-06 has been relyable. But when wife somes along (06 is her's) I tote the 12 ga. But somehow we don't see anything in range for the shotgun. This year I have a different plan though. Not hunting the opens like last year. I have close to 200 acres to hunt this year with maybe 4-5 other people on it all season. But they travel the opens on other rented land. So I'm gonna solo into the timber near my bow stand where I know theres a heap of deer. Take the gauge scope not much use in there.
