For the deer woods on my property in Northwest Louisiana, I would have to say 25-06 (I have 2 SAKO's and 1 Browning X-Bolt in 25-06). However, I am becoming a big fan of 6.5 PRC. For elk out West—I would go with my 28 Nosler (although it's a barrel burner). Thanks

My favorite was a Rem700 KS Mtn Rifle in 7mag. Gave it to my son a few years back.
Now it's another Rem700 KS Mtn Rifle that I had rebarreled from .300 Wthby to 28 Nosler.
I have an affliction for the KS Mtn Rifles. Never held a hunting rifle that felt as good. I've owned 3 over the years.

Browning BAR in 3006 for all around. Custom defiance in 6.5 prc for moderate range. And 8mm rem mag 700 bdl for a close 3rd and more if a novelty
Today is this little Savage Lightweight in 6.5 CM. Great rifle for the GA woods where shots are no more 100-150 yards MAX. I saddle hunt a lot so light is key and with 140 Accubonds, nothing has made it more that 50 yards and most are DRT. Switching to Hammers this year. No, I don't have a man bun, but if it ain't broke…

That's a beautiful piece of wood
Stand hunting in the PA woods,
cz 527 in 17 hornet. I've killed about 30 doe with it so far. I only shoot them in the eye. Anchors them every time.
Long range I use a 338 LM now, used to use a 7mm stw. Got tired of putting barrels on the 7mm. ( long range starts at 1000yrds for me)

My favorite is a 96 Swedish Mauser that is dated 1899 that I customized a few years ago. I put a ER Shaw bbl, Timney trigger, and turned down custom bolt handle on. I built the stock out of walnut using redwood burl for the end cap and grip cap. The relief carving on the stock was my first time. It shoots 1/4" groups @100yds and has dropped every deer I've ever shot with it in it's tracks. My longest kill with it is 515yds using Hornady 140 spire point bullets. I ask myself why do I own all these other rifles lol.

Beautiful rifles!
I like your confidence. Give 'em the ol pennsyltucky shut off switch with the fox rifle. I love it. From a fellow pennsyltuckian.
