I'll start... I often rotate each sit, or until I score. All depends on stand location, wind speed, property line, etc. Last 2 are my public land/state park guns, so they dont get much use. I'll probably start with 270 with Barnes bullets for a high shoulder or neck shot.
243, 270, 7-08, 308, 358, 450bm

With all the choices I end up using a muzzelloader. I graduated from a tc 54 cal patched record ball about 12 yrs ago to a savage ml10 smokeless with barnes 250gr and mmp sabot. I really like that gun and with one shot I really concentrate on makeing that shot true

Same as you, Savage and a Rem 700, both hotrodded with PacNor 45cal barrels. I have used my Savage exclusively some years just for fun. Great weapons.

I’ll have my Ruger American 30-06 and kids will have the savage axis .350. I’ll steal the 350 for my park hunts.

I got everything shot and confirmed now. Longest I've ever waited. Everything was still spot on and all shooting established loads. That makes it easy.
I did buy a Marlin 30-30 lever gun this year from a coworker. It shoots pretty good with factory loads, so it will likely go for a ride to the treestand a time or two.

Looks like I’m in Woody’s camp! At least for the first part of firearms! Eyes and ears for my grandson with his Savage in 6.5 Creedmoor. Last we practiced he was shooting 1/2” groups at 120 yards. Now he has to be as steady and Eagle eyed with the scope on a deer! I’ll probably tote my Kimber Rapide with 10mm handloads for kicks!

#1 A Marlin 336 in 35 Rem short.
#2 on crappy days my Marlin 1894 in 44 mag.
#3 would be my 1866 Trapdoor Alin conversion 50-70. It still has original sights that shoot WAY high.
#4 is my .54 Flintlock
