What are you taking deer hunting this year?

[Nico Testosteros]

Either a Savage model 10 in .243 or Rem 700 CDL in .270 Win.

 

[Downeast]

Howa 1500 in .308 w/ Nikon Prostaff 3-9 x 40

 

[evildogooder]

Three

1 blackhawk three screw in .357

A custom 1871 rolling block pistol in .30 carbine

And a 16 ga mossberg pump

I like to hunt with old or odd things

 

[Shanghai McCoy]

For the edge of the CRP pasture Pedersoli Sharps 45/70 . For the brushy and wooded bits, the 94 carbine in 32 Special.
And, hopefully, some better luck than LAST season...

 

[TexasPatriot.308]

lots and lots of beer....as far as rifles, whatever jumps at me out of the safe and my favorite hunting revolver Ruger Blackhawk .45 colt.

 

[patriot53]

What rifle are you taking deer hunting. I can't decide between my ruger 243, and my kimber 270 wsm.

My Ruger Guide Gun in .416 Ruger.
Lots of Black & Grizzly Bears, Lions and Wolves...in Flathead / Glacier area of MT.

 

[Ryanxia]

Probably what I usually hunt with, my "main" Mosin Nagant 7.62x54r

 

[d2wing]

7400 in 30-06 or AR 15, recovering from surgery, whatever I can handle, Son using my 7MM. 30-30 would come if I could sight it in. If I don't get a deer up North it will be 1187 with a rifled slug barrel.

 

[Arkansas Paul]

Weatherby Vanguard .30-06
Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt

Hey, OP, this is a cool thread! Thanks for starting it! Yeah, I'll play. If I go, I'll take one of the following:

Winchester M70 Stealth, chambered in .308 Win, with a Nightforce 3.5-15X56, using Hornady SuperFormance, 150 grain SSTs.

Winchester M70 Super Grade, chambered in .270 Win, with a Leupold Vari-X3, 3.5-10X40, using Hornady SuperFormance, 130 grain SSTs.

Weatherby Mark V, chambered in .300 Win Mag, with a Trijicon AccuPoint 2.5-10X56, using Hornady SuperFormance, 165 grain GMXs. (Last year, I had the Trijicon AccuPoint 1-4X24 mounted on this rifle.)

I've taken deer with all three, and in truth, they all drop the game to 300 yards with very little difference in performance across the three.

Old faithful, my Winchester M70 Featherweight in 30-06, and this year my Ruger American in .243. Might take the .243 out opening day for a change up.

[tdoyka]

1st one will be a tc encore with a 23" MGM heavy factory barrel in 444 marlin with 265gr hornady flat points.
2nd is a ruger #1 in 270 win with 130gr nosler ballistic tips.

 

[Legionnaire]

Two.
Mossberg 500 slug gun--24" rifled barrel with cantilever scope base and Leupold M8 4X.
Remington Model Seven--.308 set in an HS Precision sporter stock and dressed with a Leupold Vari-X II 2-7X; been my go-to rifle for years.

I had hoped to take a new Model Seven in .260. Got the gun, but it doesn't like the only factory loads I have (120 grain Federal Fusion), shooting them around 2.5" at 100. Not acceptable given that the .308 consistently shoots sub-MOA with 150 grain Remington Core-Lokts. I'm sure it will do better when I work up a load for it, but haven't the time to do so before this season.

 

[Carolina Kalash]

M1903 Mannlicher Schoenaeur with a 1930 vintage Kahles 4x scope. 6.5x54 mm with Grafs 140 gr ammo.
