Mosin 91/30 (my preffered gun)- 7.62x54r-, M1 Carbine in .30 carbine-, Winchester M70 Shadow in .30-06, .54 Caliber Lyman Great Plains rifle, 12 ga. slug guns, 20 ga. slug guns, Lever actions in .30-30, and a Browning BAR Featherweight in .30-06, .58 caliber M1855 Springfield RM. That's my family's hunting arsenal.
Last season, my Uncle's M70 claimed two does- both good eating size- and my Mosin claimed a medium-sized doe and an 8 point buck, plus a nine pointer from the season before. My first deer- a nubbin buck- was claimed with the BAR featherweight.
Several deer have been claimed by the .54 Great Plains rifle over the years, and my Aunt rose pulled off one heck of a shot a few years back when she put a .30 Carbine round right through a doe's skull from 50 plus yards away....talk about a headache...
