Lessee, this is easy.

1x .257 Roberts
1x .35 Remington
1x .350 Rem Mag


Actually, I need one "filler" round - 7x57, 280 Rem, 7mm RM, or 30-06.

One each:

.300 Savage in a Savage Model 99
.300 WinMag in a Winchester Model 70
9,3 X 62 in a Mauser 98

I have 3 I would consider deer class rifles

1. Ruger M77 in 270win

2. Win Model 94 Commerative Sioux in 30/30

3. Enfield 1918 SMLE NO1 MK3 Sniper in 303british

I envy some of you guys on here a little ! Beautiful collections !

4:

- 7X57R
- 8X68S
- 9,3X62
- 9,3X74R

I'd probably run out of fingers and toes, but my "go to" cartridge is the .300 Win Mag. My "go to" rifle in that cartridge is a pre-64 Shilen Custom with 26 inch barrel and KDF brake, currently with a Kahles 3-12x56 on it (I've got better scopes but I haven't found the need or time to change it yet). For my local purposes, I usually load 150 or 165 gr Ballistic tips, but am currently shooting some "close out" Fed Premium 165 gr Nosler solid bases that I found on sale. They killed an Oklahoma Whitetail DRT and have worked well on local hogs so far. I've never named a rifle before, but I'm considering christening it "Death Wind", it just seems to kill 'em even when I'm not perfect on my end. Among more memorable shots, it has killed 3 coyotes over 500m out of my truck window and a big pile of deer and hogs hunting on my ranch. It does have to be trained some more though, I miss most of the running coyotes with it.

Let's see:
1. .30-30 Marlin Model 336 Lever
2. .35 Rem Marlin Model 336 Lever action
3. 8x57mm on a sporterized Mauser bolt action
4. .45-70 NEF w/Williams peep sight
5. .257 Roberts Ruger #1-A
6. .25-06 Ruger Model 77
7. .270 Weatherby Magnum Ruger #1-B
8. .270 Win Browning A-Bolt
9. .270 Win FN Commercial Mauser
10. .30-06 Remington 700
11. .308 Win TC Encore barrel

308
30-06
338WM
450 Marlin

Deer and elk; let's see:

6.5 Swede x 1
264 Win Mag x 1
270 Win x 1
30-30 x 1
308 x 1
30-06 x 2
8MM mauser x 3
338-06 AI x 1
35 Whelen x 1
9.3 x 57 x 1
9.3 x 62 x 2
12 ga

Outside of your limits but what I would still consider useable for some deer under the right conditions:

223 x 2
22-250 AI x 1
220 Swift x 1
243 x 1
250-3000 AI x 1

Hi!
My choices are:300 Weatherby, 9,3x62, 9,3x74R and 375 H&H.

264 WM, 270 Win, 270 WSM, 7-57, 7mm WSM, 308, 30-06, 300 H&H, .358 Win, 375 H&H, 375 AI.

Only 2 for me: 270 Win and a 375 h&h. Actually, a 45-70 too.

Well, let's see. All of these are for deer.

2 - 270 Win
1 - 270 WSM
2 - 7mm-08

OK. Within the parameters you have set, I have in my safe, hunt Catskill Whitetails (and other larger game) and reload for:

260 Rem
7mm Mag
308
30-06
300 RSAUM
300WSM
300 Win Mag
30-378 Weatherby Mag

On either side of the spectrum I also reload and hunt deer with:

6mm Remington
257 Weatherby mag
416 Weatherby mag
45-70
450 Marlin

and will be trying my 600 Overkill on the dangerous and massive Catskill Whitetail population once I have it in a couple of months

Hmmm. Based on others' replies, I have rifles in the following elk-capable chamberings:

7mm Remington Mag.
7mmSTW
.30-06
.300 Win. Mag.
.300 Wby. Mag.
.338 Win. Mag.
.375 H&H Mag.

Marginal cartridges:

The only time I shot an elk, it was with my .338 Win. Mag.

I only marked 4 on your poll, because that's all I have within the parameters of your question.

However, to list my battery that I have used to kill deer and/or elk with are:

.22 LR
.22-250
.257 AI
.270 Win
7mm Rem mag
.30-30 Win
.308 Win
.30-06
.30 Gibbs
.375 RUM
.45 percussion long rifle
.54 percussion Hawken
12 ga Miroku O/U

I have two; a .270 Win and a .300 WSM. Both in M70 Classics.

I have 4 Deer/Elk rifles in my battery:

.25-06 (Sako 75 Hunter)
.300 Win Mag (Sako 85 Grey Wolf)
.338 Win Mag (Sako 75 Hunter)
9.3x62 (Sauer 202)

Only four, since you won't let me count Mjolnir - my 45/70 Guide Gun. And seeing as this is a "cartridge" question my 209x50 and the .54 and .62 flintlocks are out as well.

30-06 4
270 1
308 1
300 Win 1
25-06 2
9.3x62 1
338 Win 1

6mm BR 1
264 Win 1
257 Wby 1
7.5x55 1
8x57 1
8mm Rem Mag 1
358 Norma 1

I really want a 9.3x70, 9.3x64, 9.3x74R, 8x68, 8x64, 7x64, 7mm RUM, 6x63, and 7x57.

My 358 Norma will have Mjolnir "Hammer of Thor" engraved on it when I get it back from the smith.

Here's mine:

* 6.5X55's
* 270 Win
* 7.5X55 Swiss
* various 30-06's
* 7.62X54R's (Mil-surps)
* 8MM Mauser's
* 35 Whelen (My favorite)

Can you beleive no 7MM's? That's going to change soon. I'm thinking a nice custom Mauser in 7X57.

Lets see,

What is the mossy oak slogan, "its not a passion its an obsession", I can relate.
I have taken deer and/or hogs with, and currently have in my posession rifles in the following chamberings.

243
240 weatherby

My God, I'm not worthy compared to some of these lists:
30-30
270 win
7mm Bar
30-06
378 Weatherby, would shoot anything with it even little Bambi's
