Deer Rifles

[scythefwd]

.50 cal muzzle loader. IF I can find an inexpensive VX-1 3x9 scope, I might take the .308 barrel out once or twice. If not, there is always the sks or the springfield 840

I'm going deer hunting this year?? This is news to me
No but really, either my Winchester .44mag or.........actually that's what I'll be using since I only have about 90 yds or less of open field surrounded by 65acres to hunt on.

Is the ammo prices killing your pockets?

 

[Logan80]

I'll be using my Savage 99 in .284 Winchester.

 

[deerhunter61]

I will be using my CZ 6.5X55 Swede...YEEHI! and my backup right now will be my 300 mag, or my Ruger 280, or my 7mm-08, or my 7mm Mag, or my 270 if I can get my stock replaced, or....oh well what ever my hand falls on when I reach in my gun safe....

What a selection.

My .45-70 took a hog last week, so I think I'll use the .30-30 for deer this year. I just don't think I'll need a long-range rifle where I'll be hunting. I may go hunt primitive season, though, in which case the Hawken clone will come out to play.

I'm waiting to get my 15" T/C Encore in 7mm-08 back. Having it drilled and tapped for a scope mount. Also waiting for 6.5 x 55 SE I ordered. If neither one is here by gun deer season it will be my Sako model 85 finnlight in 300 Win mag (short blood trail).

Hopefully no blood trail.

It caused my antelope to skid a few feet but that was his fault for sneaking up so close to me.

For smoke-pole season, I'll bring out the Knight Wolverine 50 cal shooting 230 gr. HP sabots.

Rifle, I get to pick and choose a bit.

Stevens Model 200 in 300 Win Mag loaded with 165 gr GameKings.
Winchester Model 70 in 7mm Rem Mag loaded with 150 gr Ballistic Silvertips.
Remmy Model 700 in .270 Win loaded with 130 gr Ballistic Silvertips.

Out of those three mentioned, the Stevens goes with me the most. I have proven to myself that I can shoot with it the best...makes me feel a bit more confident if a tough shots presents itself.

Ruger M77 Alaskan in 280. Bought it during the winter itching to try it out.

Is 4.5x14 the zoom? Or do you have a fixed power scope?

 

[257WM_CDL-SF]

zoom its a 4.5x14x42

 

[esheato]

Unfortunately my zone only allows slugs...so the Browning Gold Hunter is getting the nod.

If I could use a rifle, it would either be my HS Precision 260 Rem or Marlin 1895 in 45-70. I guess I could use my .405 Win, but that's prolly overkill.
