If you read all of what I wrote you would see that I wrote that I have many different rifles and that I pack according to what I intend to hunt. With the exception of going for Alaskan Brown I have taken the shots that I stated and that includes point blank range to 400+ yards on deer.

Wake up and smell the popcorn!
Seriously, The Op ask for preferences. That means to me, what I have done when faced with that situation/animal/angle/rifle in hand. Not what if.

If I have to resort to if, it's because I have no experience to draw from.

See how that works.

If you have no experience to draw from, a if answer is entirely appropriate I would think. If you have the experience, why not use it?

Kind of a give away you know.
