For sentimental reason I would have to say my Win Mod 94 in .32 Win Special, hands down. I have taken a few deer with it and it is still my timber gun to this day. The rifle I've taken the most critters with is an old pre-64 Win Mod 70 in .270. It has been semi-retired as my backup to a Rem 700 in .270. New scopes on the two .270s that I haven't hunted with and iron sights on the .32.
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.

My Weatherby Mark V Ultralight in 338-06 A-Square. Best all around cartridge I've ever shot for big game. Carried easy and was accurate to 500 yards, maybe further, I never shot any further than that with it. Recoil was pretty grim in that rifle though. It wore a Weaver 4 power scope with a duplex crosshair.

Savage 111 chambered in 30/06 with heavy barrel. Could shoot a fly off a horses @SS with my handloaded 165 grain Nosler accubonds.

Ruger 77 MKII 7mm Remington magnum with VXIII 3.5x10x40 glass. It will drive tacks with 160 Nosler Accu-bonds and is pretty to look at. I like a nice walnut stock over synthetic any day so when I got a walnut gun that would shoot like my plastic guns I promoted it to #1. I did have a beater pre-64 model 70 30-06 that would be a close 2nd. Some dude back in the late 80's wanted to build a custom rifle and offered me $475.00 for it and since I had only paid $175.00 for it I sold it. The rifle is gone and so is the $475.00. #-o

My Savage 110DL .264 Win Mag. Bought thru a mail order catalog in 1964, sold in a weak moment in 1984. A lot of one shot kills made with it and no misses. I sure miss it.

The .264 win mag is an awesome round. Too bad they were considered "barrel burners" and lost popularity. My cousin has one on a mauser action and its awesome to shoot. I would love to find one for myself. CJ

Well as lame as this may sound I still have a soft spot for the Sheridan Silver Streak air rifle I had as a kid. .20 cal. 8 pumps and many a squirrel dinner it brought home.

Right now I am loving my :-$ Weatherby Vanguard 7mm. Rem.Mag. with a 3-9X40 Ballistic Plex Burris Fullfield II . First 7mm. I ever shot/owned. Love it. First day at the range I put up a 4 rd. group inside a quarter from 200 yds. shooting Winchester Silvertips 150gr. Couldn't believe it, from a sub $500.00 rifle I bought at Wal-Mart (???)
Who would have thought?
