Like you said, everybody will have their preference. I've been using the same Rem model 700 in .270 cal for over 30 years. I like the Hornady 140 grain Lt Mag cartridges.

I'm shooting a remington model 788 .308 bolt action, they don't make them anymore but field and stream had it this past winter as one of the 10 best new used guns. I shot a nice buck with it last gun season and it is a beatiful shooter. Such a smooth, clean shot

I use a 30-06 to deer hunt with. You'll get as many different answers on this thread as you will on a "what's your favortie food" thread.
A buddy of mine uses a .280. Another buddy uses a 7mm or a .270. Dad uses a .308. I use a 30-06 and have actually killed deer with a muzzleloader and also a Mossberg shotgun.
I do like the 30-06 load an awful lot when it comes to deer hunting though...
