Always plenty topics on hunting rifles, and it seems in last 40-50 years people automatically think Boltgun! And I understand this, and I've killed plenty game with bolts, especially a trainloax of squirrels. But when I think deer rifles, my favorite subject anymore, I think of what's best from where I hunt. And I most always deer hunt on foot, still hunt, sit, move again, go by instinct from what I've learned and scouted. And i hunt big thick, rough, mountains. And when I choose my rifle, it's by what's best for this type hunting. I've yet to shoot a deer past 75yds, that being only one. Several near 50yds! One at 10yds.
For me personally, rifle choice is probably gonna be my Mod 64 Win 30-30, or one my other Lever 30-30's! But no rifle carries light, comes to shoulder, and easily I can make a plenty accurate shot, most always standing & off-hand as especially my Mod 64&reciversighted. It's to my shoulder, balanced perfectly, ready to fire so easily with confidence! And a scope is hardly ever an advantage under these circumstances!
But there's a few more Levers & their cartridges I wish I had!
But regardless of preference let's see um, hunting pics especially, or any pic, or tell about em. I love looking at them!
