RE: what is everyones favorite gun of all time hunt whitetail with.
Well We don't have many whitetails where I hunt as its mostly Mule deer. If my favormite was the rifle that I have killed the most deer with, that would be about a tossup between the old swedish mauser and a LH Remington 788 in 308. I have used the 257 Roberts, 250 Savage and 30-06 for a lot of deer as well. Here of late my NEF 280 holds a spot close to my heart. Favorites come and go but I quess the old Swede would be about tops. From 0 to 300 yards it performs as well as anything I have ever used and that includes almost all the Magnums. 140 grain Hornady spire point has taken most of the deer.

Model 94 30-30, best rifle there is in my book for the brush, or Winchester Ranger 12 gauge if we are talking shotgun.

I have used several rifles over the years but my favorite by far is a custom 700 chambered in 7mmstw.It shoots flat ,has plenty of power and is extremely accurate.
