RPG


but since I dont own one I use my 308

this year I will be hunting with both my bolt gun and my saiga

I'm a 270 or 7mm-08 man myself. No real reason beside they have been working for me for years.

Oh yea, I prefer they leave the barrel of a Browning.

A 30-30 does an excellent job of dropping deer with a behind-the-shoulder-on-third-of-the-way-up shot, but I prefer using the AR platform nowadays. I'm going to try for one this year with a Winchester .223 64gr Powerpoint.

There's always the good ol' 470 Nitro Express in a H&H double rifle.

.270 Winchester...

30-06 mainly cause I'm used to "long action"....but 7.62X39, and 44MAG are also quite effective.

The .308 works for me as well..

 

[Bioshock]

Marlin 336 in .35 Rem or a 30-30

 

[strokin99]

308,7-08,270 just depends
