What is your best deer rifle

i have 2: custom simms 7x57 for tree stand hunting in virginia blue ridge; 139 gr hornady sst's, nice gun; cooper .25-.06, shooting 110 gr accubands, for long open field shots,
tack driver; have taken many, many deer with these two; very nice shooters
 
Model 70 XTR .264 Win Mag. that I had Cerkote Burnt Bronze
HS Precision Stock Tan Web.
Leupold Two piece base's
Burris Signature Rings with 15 MOA
Scope Leupold 4.5x14 40mm CDS with Custon Shop Windadage MOA Dial
My Current Load is with Nosler 120gr BT
 
1100 remington, sounds like a real neat package; on my .25-06 i have a vortex viper, 4-16, 0.1 mil clicks, cosine indicator
 
Steyr Mlll professional in 30-06, has a Zeiss conquest 3-9x40 scope. Very light and accurate!!
 
Since we can hunt deer/elk same season I'll use one of my elk rifles for that tag. Last year I drew separate season buck tag and I used Lilja barrel 270 with 150gr ABLR. I never know till draw result since we have 4 choices on tag and one year I drew 4th choice and first choice cow tag same dates.
 
I have used a Schultz & larson 7x61 that my dad gave me when I was younger on a pile of deer but now use a remington 700 xcr 270 in a McMillan game scout stock and I'm working on a pre-64 model 70 in 6.5x55 benchmark barrel and McMillan hunter stock.

Depends on where I'm hunting at the time and the right tool for the job. For beanfields and long range I like my Rem 700 in 300 RUM with a 185 Berger handload, for the woods and northern whitetails I use an old model 70 in 338 WM with a Barnes 225 TTSX handload maybe overkill but never undergunned, my truck gun for all around deer and hogs is a Rem 700 20" tactical with a 168 SMK handload.
