What's my deer rifle? At one point it was a 30-06; then it was a .270 (both Savages).
Nowadays, my rifle is a Marlin 336 in 30-30, and I have Arrived. It is pretty, it is accurate, and it is absolutely lethal on whitetail - drops them just as fast as the 270 ever did. It is easy on the shoulder and ears, and ammo is cheaper than the aforementioned cartridges. Should have bought one twenty-five years ago, but back then I was hung up on paper numbers - but now I hunt.
