I have a Savage 99 that was manufactured in 1966. .308 with a Zeiss 3X9X40 on it. Awesome weapon.
I have a Marlin Model 1936 that was given to my grandfather, who was a Detroit police officer, by a Detroit river border guard.
30-30, 30-40 Craig, 1903 deserve mention
Can’t overlook the Winchester Models 88 and 100 either.
The Model 99 was chambered for the .250/3000 Savage cartridge.
No, it was originally chambered in .300 Savage. I actually have a couple boxes of factory ammo for it around here somewhere.

My Uncle who was a 1st Marine Raider during WW2 gave me his Springfield 1903 30-06 converted to sporter, Sweet rifle.
Pump action Remington .270. I worked up a load for mine that holds three shot groups into clover leafs.
With the improvements in bullet design most of the listed weapons(calibers) are overkill for deer. Bullets that go clean through a deer at 100 yards and damage excess meat are a waste.
Marlin 336-RC 3030 Nearly brand new had been fired less than 50 times.
I had my late Grandfathers Remington Model 742 carbine in .308 that was wonderful for the woods, until my now-exwife bought some jewelry, assuring me that she had the money for it, until the bill showed up.
I have the Winchester 70 that my Grampa bought when he got back to the states after WWII.
It’s still a tack-driver.
