Trusted Deer rifles

The deer rifle has changed over time, from 30-30s lever actions to 30-06 bolt actions. Then mix in semi autos and pumps you can cover every ones favorite choice. You also have your choice of calibers from large magnums, short magnums, to standard set by the military. This is not an argument about what is the best one to hunt with. I have hunted with many different actions and calibers. I have my favorite just like anyone else. I have killed more deer with the 30-06 and like having this caliber with me. I know many hunters who prefer the 270 while others swear by the 308. And how can I leave out the 300 and 7mm magnums. I personally don't have any experience with the short magnums but have met hunters who do and would not go to anything else. It is fun to get people talking about the different actions and calibers and then sit back to watch what comes up. Every so often as new calibers show up and new fads start there will be others who won't let the old ways go away. There will always be someone who will stay with the older stuff like 30-06,308, 6.5x55, 7.62x54R, 8mm Mauser, and 303 British. All can make a trusted deer rifle in the right hands.
