Whichever one is closest to the door and has ammo in it!  That's actually a really hard question.  I'm comfortable grabbing any of my 4 for anything out to 150 yds.  I guess, if I HAD to pick a go-to it'd be my Savage 220 with a 3-9x40 Weaver shooting 2 3/4' Hornady SSTs loaded with 250gr FTX slugs.

It was an old savage 110e in .243 win with a bushnell 3-9x40 with 100gr. Remington core lokts but my father asked for it back because he might start hunting again. So I bought a Browning xbolt micro hunter 7mm-08 with a Nikon prostaff 3-9x40 with 140gr. Federal fusions that I am hoping is as reliable and lethal as that old savage.

This year will be my CVA Wolf with a 3-9 scope, 90 grains of triple 7 powder under a 245 grain powerbelt aerotip bullet.Also use a Marlin Slugmaster with a Bushnell red dot and Remington Buckhammer 12 Ga. slugs.I have not had many shots the past few years during the regular season but I know I can drop a deer with either of those.

TC Encore 50 cal muzzleloader. Weaver Grand Slam rings and a Vortex Viper HS 2.5 - 10 x 44 scope. I run 250 grain Hornady SSTs with Blackhorn 209 powder.

Is that a dip on the stock and forearm?  Mine is the Pro Hunter FX, which is basically the same, but I LOVE that look!
