I use either a 30-06 or 35 rem right now. I would love to get a 22-250 though. One of my buddys has one and they are amazing. He dropped a 200 lb 9 pointer in his tracks with it. The accuracy at long ranges is incredible. I've seen him successfully take 250-300 yard head shots at the strawberry farm when we go nuisance hunting. Plus its a perfect varmint rifle.

I hunt some thick stuff her in Maine and grew up shooting this gun....30/30 Marlin....has killed all but 2 of my deer, the other 2 were with a bow.

Usually when I rifle hunt it's on a farm. I bought a 30-06 because it's one of the most versatile calibers.

I also beat the brush with a Marlin 30-30.

I am happy with my Remington 7400 30-06. Been good to me over the years so far.

Got my first deer 25 years ago with a Savage 99 300, replaced that with a Savage 99 in 308. I like to pin them to the ground !

I should have added that my 30-06 is an M77 MKII, with a Burris FullField II 4.5-14x42mm. I glass bedded and floated the barrel myself, it's a sub 1" gun at 100yds with hot hand loaded 165gr SPBT's. No one else will shoot it because it has a bit of a kick If the weather is good I'll have it out this weekend for coyotes.

I have 2 deer rifles both of which were passed down to me.  I have a Reminton 721 .30-06 that I inherited from my father.  The gun was made in 1949 and my father bought it when he got out of the navy.  I recently put a new laminated stock on it and also a conversion kit for a 4 shot clip.  I glass bedded the action and just finished fine tuning the sighting in process.  It really shoots well and the recoil is negligible with the new stock.  It kicked like a mule with the original factory stock.   I also have a nice Savage bolt action .30-30 carbine that is a joy to carry and works well where I hunt since the woods are so thick it is not likely you would ever get a shot over 100 yds.  My uncle gave me that gun.  Both of these guns shoot well and have sentimental value.

'Ol Betsy'  my 45 year old ML, Thompson Center Hawkins Renegade Carbine in .54cal. for Oak groves and shotgun only towns. And yes, I sleep with her. 
Some say she's ugly, but I prefer to use the term 'broken in'!    She's been very good to me!

Rem. 700 in 7mm Mag. 3x9 Redfield widefield for large cutdowns and cornfields(hardly use).
