Remington 700. 270 Winchester, of course. Mine has a custom (give me a sander and I'll "customize" anything) Brown Precision stock. Right now it has a Sightron 2.5-10 scope. Ready to shoot it weighs just under 7 pounds. It will put 3 Barnes 130 gr. TSXs in the same hole when I'm up to it.

What's everybody's favorite make and model (not calibre) for deer and elk
Why not caliber model and make have very little to do with anything compared to the caliber of the rifle.

thats a sweet setup

Marlin 1895.
Chambered: 45-70 Govt.
Bullet: Nosler Partition
Bullet weight: 300 grains
Powder: H4198
Charge weight: 55 grains
This is, by far, the gun I have the most fun with.
Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription is more cowbell!

That's what I'm talking about TuPapito!
Hands down my favorite rifle is my Winchester Model 94 in .32 Winchester Special. I use it as my timber rifle.
All around hunting terrain would be a Remington 700 in .270
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.

That is one tuff question. I'm guessing that you mean what we have now? If not I don't think I could answer.
From what I have now it my Model 70 featherweight w/ 1-4 Redfield in 6.5x55.

Thats a limbsaver pad,I used them to build my custom adjustable stocks because they come on a solid backing that I can use as my base plate to run my hex head adjustment bolts through.They are great pads i can and have shot this 7mag allll day without bruising or sore shoulder.I also canter the recoil pad a few degrees so the rifle sits straight and comfortable with my rifle hold.The center bolt threads out to adjust length and the top bolt threads in to secure the pad in place.
