Remington 721(1953) in 270 Win for open field hunting.
Winchester M-88(1962) in 308 Win heavy woods and those times I decide to "take the gun for a walk"
I have taken more deer with the 88 than I have the 721, used to use the 721 for hunting out west, but have since relegated it to second fiddle when I moved back here to PA.

I use my bow during gun season when I'm hunting solo and have been doing so for about 4/5 years now.
I say solo because I also have our 14 year old Son to take out so when he's along he gets first shot and during these times I do carry a gun instead of the bow just in case the need arises for me to have to back him up for any reason.
When I do carry a firearm it will be any one of the following, Rem. 700 BDL's in either 25-06, 270, 308, 30-06 or 7mm mag. but typically the 30-06. All are topped with Leupold 3 x 9 scopes.
My Son uses my Marlin 336 lever action 30-30 or he'll use my 25-06, just depends.
When carrying a firearm I usually also carry one of my 44. mag S & W's as a side arm.
