what will you be using on opening day?

[lycanthrope]

Model 70, 7mm STW, Jewell trigger.

Early bear will find me trodding around with the trusty '03 springfield. The bears are big and fat this year, summer has been good to them this year.

For deer season it'll be the Winchester model 88 in .243, been in service with various family members for 40+ years, tough to argue with what works!..

One slight change from the norm is I'll be leaving it at camp when we are out pushing the swamps, gonna give the .357 wheel gun a try.

Marlin M1895 Guide Gun 45-70 w/ Winchester 300gr Partitions and 45LC Bisley modified SS Blackhawk 4 5/8 " and CorBon 300gr JSP. Happy (game) trails.

On opening day I will be out with my Savage in 17 HMR for some small game.

However, come third rifle season (November in Colorado) I will be out with my Model 70 in 30 06 to harvest one antlerless elk. I am thinking 165 grain partition since I will probably snag a spike.

winchester 70 in .270

Hey Newt, since you have that beautiful new Tikka and all, you shouldn't be needing that Model 7 in .260 anymore right? Care to sell it then? That's my idea of the perfect deer rifle. Which stock does yours have?

 

[Slow]

.45 Colt from a SRH

 

[BluRidgDav]

First "Opening Day" - 50# Longbow

Second "Opening Day" - 1861 Musket

Hope to have the freezer full before the Third "Opening Day" -
but if I'm still huntin' by then, it'll probably be with my .30-30 Marlin.

Good Huntin'

Early muzzle-loader ... hope to use my el cheapo ''New Frontier'' .50 cal in-line. No pic currently ..

Later on tho .. first day of Buck and onwards ... usual is Rem 760 Gamemaster .. a very nice rifle to tote around ... in .308.

My second deer rifle tho not used for such much is a sporterized Enfield mkIV ... shoots like a beaut.

Savage .99C .243 would still do the job too!!
