I believe guns are like knives, you should have one specific to each task in order for it to perform at an optimum level.
My favorite is.... (I couldnt decide).

I like the trust ol 870. I tend to take it everywhere. I would really like a Marlin 45-70 lever gun though, they seem really handy and I shot one years ago and I know it would make a grizzly do an "end over end".

My new one is my .280 SPS Model 700 because it's a cool caliber, a cool stock, and it'll kill anything without dislocating your shoulder.

Browning A-Bolt 30.06 with Leupold Mark VIII 2x10x45. I shoot Winchester XP3 150 grain. 1 elk at 250 yards, 2 shots dropped in his tracks. 1 buck 150 yards bedded down, 1 shot right through the neck never moved. 1 doe 1 shot double lung, dropped in its tracks. Got to like not having to track them.
Wouldn`t trade it for any other gun.
