 My go to rifle is my Browning stainless stalker in .300 win mag. I just adjust my loads to what I am hunting.

Eeny meeny miny mo, which of you sexy rifles wants to go?  That's how I choose my "Go To" rifle these days.  Hard to pic a favorite anymore.  At one time it was easy - Model 88 in .308.  Might still be the same answer today :dunno:

Mine is my youth model 700 in 270 win. Ive had it since I was 10 years old. 2 years ago i sent it 8n and got it reblued, new stock, new leupold rings and a zeiss scope. 8t is the perfect gun for just about anything.
