I currently have 3....I use my .22 for varmints...my 270 for deer (my old one didn't kick as bad as my new one ! ) and my 30-06 was just given to me by DH's dad . Here's some pics .

semi-automatic .22 remington

270 bolt action remington

New (for me ) 30-06 semi auto remington

Tell me what you all have or use ! 30-06 will be for elk.....maybe for deer if it doesn't kick as much as the 270 I have...FIL sais it hardly has a kick...so I'll try it tomorrow !

I am getting my rifle built, a springfield 1903 30-06 Mark I
For birds I've been using a Beretta Urika 20 ga, though I still like my model 12 winchester for turkey.

Remington 870 for Deer (slug barrel), rabbits, and trap shooting
.22 for target practice for the kids and the occasional whistle pig (groundhog)
30-06 for varmits at 500 yds or greater and hopefully some big game eventually

If Ohio allowed it, I would definetly use the 30-06 for deer. I've been considering hunting in Kentucky some year.

I had a rabbit in my yard this spring that was eating my garden. The only thing I had handy was the 30-06. When I hit it, it flew up in the air about 2 ft and flew backwards about 3 ft. It completely turned it inside out. The shot was only about 40 yds. It was kinda cool in a sick kind of way.

I forgot my muzzle loader - CVA 209 pro w/ 29" fluted SSTL barrel.

Well...
Remington 870 for birds
.22 for varmint
.270 for deer usually, sometimes I use a 30-06 or 30-30, just depends.
