Remington 742 .308 with a 3-9x scope. Nice compact gun thats easy to swing and carry in the bush. Really should have a lower powered scope for hunting in thicker bush, usually leave it on 3x... but for long shots across swamps the 9x comes in handy.

I really like my two rifles.. I have a .300 wheatherby mag and a M77 Ruger .308 with the target barrel on it.. Both rifles will blast deer all day long.. But I still LOVE THE BOW... Matthews LX!!!!

Remington 7400 in 30-06. My next gun will be a model 700,but it will be a 30-06 because it has never let me down. I have shot many deer with it and I dropped four black bears in there tracks.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]I have taken bear, moose and many whitetails with my 30.06 Remington. Any
game animal in North America is going down with a good placed shot from this
cartridge.

Me and WyoBullRider have the same idea. Rem 700 300 Mag w/a Bausch and Lomb 4200 Elite. Kinda overkill for Oklahoma, but I wanted a rifle I could hunt any North American game with.

In the tight woods of missouri; Iron sights 30-30, and in open country 30-06. .338 on anything bigger than a deer!
