My confidence gun is my trusty Remington 7600 Gamemaster, .30-06, pump action. It is topped with a Bushnell Elite scope with rainguard.

One well placed shot and my deer is down for keeps. I don't usually shoot at full out running deer, so meat damage from my 180gr. bullet is not an issue. It works well in the area that I hunt here in Ontario, which is a mixture of hardwood and cedar swamps.

7mm mag.

(Made the mistake of selling my Model 94 30-30 a few years back. Still miss that gun.) Just got a .220 swift, but don't expect to ever use that for deer.
