Tikka CTR .308. Brake added for now. Will be suppressed hopefully by hunting season if .gov is nice. Planning to load a 130 grn Barnes TTSX ~3150 fps for deer.

Honorable mention…

Unfortunately restricted to straight walled cartridges where I hunt deer…currently have a Weatherby Vanguard 350 Legend…it's not my favorite but it's what I can legally use…it is def better than the slug guns we were previously restricted to.
Don't have to use straight walled cartridges here but the new 400 legend looks pretty cool especially if magnum research would make a BFR revolver for it could have a rifle, pistol combo that used the same ammo.
