I prefer the bow, but during gun season I use a Browning A-Bolt, Stainless Stalker in .300 Win Mag. It's great when your hunting out on the open fields in N. Dakota.

300 savage lever action. So far in my 4 years of hunting I have shot four deer and used four shells.

Rem. 7mm Ultra Mag - 700 BDL custom
I did some research on this caliber before I got it. It has great energy, velocity, and excellent tragectory. It is a fairly new round that probably won't get too popular. I do kind of prefer some of the oddballs though. It isnalso big and powerfull for your average whitetail, but hopefully in the future I'll get to hunt bigger game.
Great gun.

AD- do you think all the cartridges that are out now are going to stay out for quite some time or even forever? because i want the 300 rem. ultra magnum to stick around. what do you think?

I use a .270 Browning A bolt. I am using 130grain bullets. Very accurate cartridge. I would think it has to be one of the best all round cartridges out their for deer. Surprised on this forum not many people using it.
