What is your best deer rifle

[RB II]

Nosler M48 in 270. Loading the 129 LRX to see if it likes them, positive results so far. Been a 270 of one make/model since I was able to shoot one.

I have 2 gun cabinets crammed full of rifles and the 270 always seems to make it to the hunt.

Hi guys, hey what's your best deer rifle, mine is a Browning A bolt 30-06.

For accuracy, it's an Axis ll in 30-06, a serious tack driver. For dependability, a Remington SPS also in 30-06, and firelapped, Trigger Tech trigger, floated and glas bedded.

#1 - Weatherby 25.06 topped with a Vortex 5 x 25 x 56mm flinging handloads...have not lost a deer yet. 95% make it less than 50 yards.
#2 - Browning A bolt 30.06, Leopold 3 x 9 x 50mm, again handloads.
#3 - Marlin 336 30-30, iron sights, handloads. Thick woods

Will have to add my son has 100% recovery with his Remington 700 6.5 Creedmoor and a Vortex 5 x 25 x 56mm (although I don't own one, I'm impressed with this cartridge's performance on whitetail deer)

To much great caliber to have only one... if only one it will be my 7mm mag with a 160gr speer btsp that combo is devastating on deer

Hi guys, hey what's your best deer rifle, mine is a Browning A bolt 30-06.

Remington 700LR in 30-06 when I'm fresh. Marlin XL7 in 30-06 when I feel 75.

I use a 243 savage 110L , Leopold vx 2, 50 mm, for deer in open country shooting. 100 grain nosler partitions handloaded.

For brush shooting I have a win model 100 in 308. Peep sight . Using 180 grain nosler partitions for deer and moose.

I think you should match your rifle to the shooting conditions. old243

What load are you shooting in the .243?

Best in my safe now? Accumark MarkV, 300WBY. I have different loads worked up.
One I use the most now? Win M70 Classic Stainless in .270Win.

Haven't tried it out yet but this 6 dasher with 64 grain Berger hp's at 3700 fps is truly going to do magical things!!!!!

That'll do the trick just fine!! That's my intended build originally for my next hunting rifle then I picked up a 6 dasher barreled action and wow I think it's exactly what I've been searching for!!! I may have an ultra light Wilson barrel chambered in 22 dasher that I have laying around as well!

My shot in average are 200yds with potentiel 300yrds so no dout it will do!

6 dasher is great, I got the brass for the 6mmbr and just to much hook on the br not to try it
