Deer hunting gun and caliber

Remington 700 Classic in 35 Whelen with a Leopold VX III 2.5-8x36. Installed a Timney Hunter Elite trigger this year set at 3.5 lbs. Loaded up some 225 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets over 54 grains of IMR 4320 cartridges to use with it. Good to go for deer or bear!
 
300 BO. Took a nice 7 pointer at the end of the season last year with it. I have total confidence in the round at the distances our property allows.

If I manage to get on a property that has longer shots I'll use a .270 or the 45-70 lever gun.
