1 rifle, what would you pick?

I haven't hunted with it yet, but I'd have to say my springfield M1A scout in .308 win. No, it's not super accurate at 1.5 MOA tops, but it'll put a lot of lead down range fast, is very reliable, not too heavy at 8lbs, has good iron sights, has a detachable scope with QRW rings, and the .308 has enough power to takedown just about anything in north america. I would like to try and take a whitetail deer with it this fall.
 
My father also gave me this as my first gun. 270wby mag I have taken mule deer, elk, coyotes and even buffalo with it since 1992. Not a bad way to start, I thank the old man every fall. :)
 
41 years with the 700 Remington ,hands down best rifle I have ever owned.In that 41 years never have had to send one in nor have I ever had a problem with one.
 
4 Bore Double, you can't be too safe.

Or a Marlin 60
 
i'd choose REMINGTON SPEEDMASTER.

though i own an ARMSCOR / Squires Bingham Rifle, i'd still go for the Remington Speedmaster.
 
I own 5 deer rifles but the one that a I keep grabbing when I head out deer hunting is my Winchester M94 rigged with a Williams peep sight, and shooting Speer 170gr Flat point hand loads . I hunt thick Maine woods and the shots are close. This rifle points quick and is very accurate in my hands. I shot a 11pt 201 lbs dressed buck with it at a distance of 25-30 yards bang flop. I shot a 9pt last season at a distance of 19 yards bang flop venison in the pan.
 
A CZ 30.06 with their "Spring Camo" laminate stock. Now if I could get the stock by itself I might get some other Mauser style rifle like the Win 70. Ilike the barrel stainles and put a black Bushenll Elite 4200 scope (love their Rainguard) on it.

30.06 because the reloading components available are almost beyond numbering and if I needed factory fodder every mom/pop store in the country sells it.
