What caliber, model rifle does everybody use for hunting deer. I prefer my old trusty Remington 700 bdl in 270 with 150 grain core lokts

Depending on stands and brush condition but my go to guns are a Remington BDL 30-06 shooting Corelokt 150gr pills and a custom 300Blackout shooting Barnes 110 gr TSX loads. Leupold glass on the 30-06 and Zeiss on the 300.

I love the bdl I have one in 270 30-06 300 win mag 7mm mag 243 and 25-06. By far the best bolt action there is in my opinion can’t beat the smooth operation!

I vary depending on my mood for the day. 6.5 creedmore, .50 cal. black powder or .44 magnum with 10.5 barrel. Working on a .270 next.
I don’t know how I forgot about BP! Flintlock is my favorite season here in PA. I harvested my first deer with a “build your own” .50 cal. TC Hawken. I now use a .45 Cal. Tennessee Valley Late Lancaster. It’s my ultimate deer whomper.

Tikka in 30-06 with a leupold vx3 currently. Lightweight, smooth and accurate.

This would be my choice if I was buying a new rifle/scope combo today. I kick myself for not buying one a few years back at Academy when they had Tikka stainless/synthetic at $399. Heck, my safe had an open spot just calling out for it also.
I screwed up, what can I say.
