Favorite deer rifle?

Just wanted to see what caliber everyone deer hunted with? I hunt with a 30-06. It is a remington 760 gamemaster.

I got a 7mm-08 four years ago and reload my own-never seen factory ammo...four years, four shots (all running) and four bucks...plus my first hog with this gun (200lbs.)...or second...I forgot. I've only been hunting deer for four years so all my other rifles have been for hogs: 30-06, .338Mag (overkill), 30-30, and several with my .357GP100 and one small one with the .45ACP Commander...but my goal this friday night is one with my .44mag super blackhawk...haven't got one with that yet.

Oh, how do I post to my gallery?

I'm with you on this one. I use the Remington 7600 in 30-06. The new version of the 760. My brother got Grampa's 760 Gamemaster in 30.06. Plus my dad picked up a 760 last year. Hasn't used it though. He likes his Marlin .32 SPL.

Ruger M77 .25-06... I think I posted my group size with it a few days ago, roughly .333" at 200 yards.

I'd like to get one next year or next week with my .357 Mag Ruger GP100...
