I used .30-30 for years, with a scoped Remington in .257 Roberts for those rare occasions I wasn't hunting in bush. But a decade or so ago I started worrying about damaging my grandfathers old mdl 94. I'm not exactly the most coordinated individual, some may say, so I got me a Remington 700 in .308 for antelope, deer, & elk. A few years later I picked up a Ruger No1 in .300 WinMag (because with that indestructible action .257 Roberts seemed tiny. Not because .257 is underpowered for game) but that's pretty much elk only.

I haven't drawn a deer tag in a while, used to be I'd get a deer license by default and hope to draw a good elk tag. CWD thinning out our muleys? I've also heard those damn whitetails are invading... I don't know, but I sure miss venison.
