For me it's either of my T3's (wife's 7mm-08 and my .30-06) or my Winchester (FN mfg.) Mod. 70 Supergrade .270 Win. I have a Browning X Bolt White Gold Medallion in .270 Win. as well that I wouldn't hesitate to grab for any of the hunting I do.

Thanks red cloud its the 257 bob with the ackley improved shoulder. Im pushing the 90gr sierra gameking hp. The ai version allows me to run at factory 25-06 velocities with no pressure issues. I love the 257 wby, but i just dont shoot magnums that well unless it has a brake and im not a fan of brakes.

This 7 mag is starting to become a favorite too, but man was it hard to load for. Custom German built mauser, with double triggers. Never liked wood till i shot this one.  A lil old world craftsmanship.

M70 Featherweight in 308. I've been carrying a .308 a lot of years, with a few dalliances, but stuck to one? I'll dance with the one who brung me.
