My favorite is a 35.  Hard to beat a 35 rem pump in the big woods.  My guess on the two most popular guns used are 308 and 30-06.

I would haveto a agree, I really don't think you can beat a .358 bullet in the Northeast. However I prefer the .35 Whelen in my Rem pump. I also agree most popular short action would be .308 and long the aught 6

We all shoot .270 and 30-06. Theres 2 .308's in the group too. Kind of personal preferences. I like the .270. Right now i've got a bolt but i'm looking into a pump.
