I been using my little 30-30 and nothin else. I just love my little gun. Its light and small after using the others for so long. I left my scope off. Nice not having to be so careful with it. Its in nice shape but it feels good to carry a gun that i dont mind if i scratch it

My go-tos are a trifecta of 7mm's: .280 Rem, 7mm-08, 7mm Mag.
Occasionally a 25-06 or .308 for giggles.

I've got two oddballs; Marlin .308MX built around the LeveRevolution round. Great all around shooter. The second is an AR15 in 6.5 Grendel. I love carrying the AR, it's light, adjustable, and it's semi auto. I bought the Grendel upper after reading up on a good deer round for the AR15. This is my first AR, and if the caliber holds up to the hype, this will probably be my go-to. I've killed 2 with it; so far so good.

Of course there is a downside to both...don't run short on ammo, can't pick it up just anywhere.

anything over a 270 is overkill for a deer in Alabama. 270 is one of the best, if not the best, overall caliber in the lower 48.

Dead is dead. None of the deer I've shot with 284, 308, 338, 358 or 375 caliber rifles have complained I was too rough on them. laugh

I always grab my 30/30 first. I have a 270 and a .357 that I like to shoot too.

I don't think my .308 would agree
But 270 is one hecl of a caliber.
