Either my 1969 Winchester model 70 or Marlin Xl7 both in .270.
100% confidence in both rifles.

I haven't shot one with a rifle in several years but this year I do have the marlin 30-30 set up and ready to go. It was my first deer hunting rifle my dad got me and I shot my first buck an 8 pt with it and shot my largest buck to date with it about 12 years ago. It brings good luck and figured this was the year to bring it back into action.

I deer hunt long enough for duck season to open but my go to rifle will be my CVA Cascade 308 topped with a Nikon Prostaff
My 30-06 has never let me down. It's not glamorous or trendy but it'll drop any critter on the continent.

Don't really care. Whitetails aren't that tough. All seem to die just fine if I put any bullet over 22 caliber at any speed over around 800fps impact velocity in the chest.
Sometime hunters overcomplicate things.

They are very good bullets.
Doesn't really matter most places I hunt. About any gun will do it.
Winchester Featherweight .308 this year. I've many to choose from, but I'm not shooting anything that's not readily available ammo wise. I'll save those. 308 is available.
