YAY, im first to say welcome to the board. Hope to your posts.

I use a 30-06 with a redfield 3-9x scope. 243 is plenty big enough though, thats what i killed my first two deer with and they went down in no time. Im a big remington fan though, so anything by them. Especially the ADL model rifles or BDL.

My gun is a Remington 700 Mountain rifle. great little gun. detachable magazine. beautiful walnut stock. short and sweet. matte finish. .270 Win with a leupold vari x II 3-9X on it. that thing drives tacks and i've killed deer out to 260 yards with it. Big Green IMO makes the best guns out there.
