I use a Henry 44 magnum. I put a scope on it to help.

All the “cool” kids around my neck of the woods shoot a 6.5 creedmore.

Doesn't that take away from the coolness/nostalgia of a Henry?

I also use a Henry (45-70 and 45 Colt) but, you gotta do what your eyes will do. No good to look cool/nostalgic if you can't see what you're trying to shoot.

Yeah, probably but I’ve always loved lever action rifles.

I normally use a 270 but I would guess 243 or 308.

I used a 270 for 30 yrs and enjoyed it. However it has been replaced by my 308 that I love.

That being said I see more 270 and 30-06 than anything around here.

I have a Marlin lever-action .44 mag. I'm too old and impatient for tracking and dragging.

I'd really like to have a Henry .44 mag....but I'd probably baby the thing and never take it into the weeds and briars.

Most of the guys I know use a 270 but they are younger and more willing to take shots that I just don't feel comfortable taking anymore.

I hunted most of my deer seasons with a 308 ,but I also used a 444 marlin several of those years.
I really like those lever actions.

Air Rifle.

Nothing wrong with any of the choices. Personal preference. I think a 270 is hard to beat. I use a ML more than anything, even during modern gun.

It's blasphemy to some but I bow hunt for rifle season. I did same thing back in day for Michigan gun season" shotgun zone"
That being said I picked up my grandpa's old win model 94 30-30 last year and have shot it a bit and love it. Might take it out this fall for grandpa!
