The other post made me think, what would I pick if I could have only one rifle to hunt deer with here in Alabama.

Browning BAR in 270 Win.

I would probably trade it for a light bolt action 7mm-08 or 243 when I get older.

One rifle for deer would be a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308

One rifle to hunt everything in Alabama would ba a Marlin bolt action .22WMR


Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.

An accurate Auto like the BAR would be tough to beat for all around hunting IMO.
