Certain regions of the US have iconic guns associated with them. Deep South? .30-30 Marlin or Winchester. Mountain West? Winchester Model 70 or Remington 700 in a super-flat shooting cartridge for elk or sheep. Texas? Whatever can harvest the maximum amount of hogs at the minimum cost. Southwest? Colt SAAs and Winchester 1873s.
Now, New England? Easy, the Remington 742 in .30-06
Go to KTP or any big store in New England and you'll see 742s for $400+/-. The 742 will harvest plenty of deer or moose or black bear. Max points if the 742 has express sights below a raised-up 3-9x40 Nikon or Redfield or Burris.
In addition to the 742/7400, I'd also say the Remington 7600 and 870 Wingmaster round out the Top Three Swamp Yankee guns. No classic Swamp Yankee would go without owning an 870 Wingmaster or some kind of Remington semi-auto .30-06. Guess I'll have to buy them now...
