A 1970's Remington 760 (pump action) in .308 topped with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40. For me it is the best of worlds for the way I typically hunt. Rugged, reliable in all conditions, short and fast handling, rapid follow up shots, accurate.
My first deer rifle was that same gun in a 270. Bought it used from a guy in 1975. Had see thru mounts and a 3x9 Bushnell scope. It sure was fun to shoot. Sold it when I was a freshman at Auburn to buy a bolt action. Wish I still had it.
My buddy bought the same gun in a carbine model in 30-06. That thing was a cannon.
