Have any of you started getting your rifles/pistols ready for deer/bear season. maybe trying some new toys or a new loads it's still early but the season is right around the corner for some, i have to get stuff out early, i don't like shooting when other hunters are trying to bow hunt.
What is your primary guns to use, and do you have backups. or rainy/snowy day guns. are you in brush or sitting on fields.
My 2 main guns are my ruger TS 77 in 7x57, fitted with a leupold vari-x ii 3-9x40 shooting the sierra 140 pro hunters. the other is my browning A-bolt composite stalker in 7wsm, it had a nikon 3-9x40 on it, i just sent the scope in to nikon for work. hope to here back soon. the load for this year is the winchester 150 power points, they are cheap now and not worth me reloading. the A-bolt is my bad weather day gun or if i need to reach out more then 400 yards.
For the days i know i will be in brush, i will use my cz 527 in 7.62x39 with 123gr tula sp, if it's bad weather my marlin 336 35 rem is going.
don't think i will get out for muzzleloader this year after selling my hawken.
I try to keep most my rifles ready to bring out, there are some that are sentimental and will go out to. i my carry a ruger sbh in 44 mag or a bh in 357 mag for any close stuff.
Please share if your getting ready and wht you use. thanks troy.
