Pretty easy pick for me as my .358 BLR has been my go to deer rifle for over 35 years. I’ve hunted the Louisiana swamps, thick woods of Mississippi and open scrub brush of West Texas. I’ve lost count of how many deer I’ve taken with it

I just want to know is, if you sip or knock back a full shot of that Hoppe's #9
@bushmaster1313 How do you like that Weaver K-2.5? I just picked up an externally identical scope with the original Weaver tip-off base and rings for my M99 .300. Mine has a heavy cross and post reticle that looks similar to the British Enfield sniper reticle. Glass is remarkably clear with good low light performance for a 1950s optic
I found an old deerslayer at gandermountain for about $300-350 used in good shape and wasn't too sure about it until I asked around and everyone said buy it. I called Ithaca for info and it was a good deal. The Ithaca guy wanted the serial number to confirm date of manufacturing and when I asked the Gandermountain kid on the phone for it and said I would be there in an hour to purchase it the gun was gone. We switched from a shotgun state to straight walled cartridges that year, so I'm glad it got hidden in the back room.Here is my go to. I got it when I was 17 and it has taken more game than any other weapon I have...except for my .22 Mag.
I grew up in a shotgun zone so this is what I am used to. I know even most of those old shotgun zones allow straight wall cartridges now so this is getting pretty obsolete but it does the job. Plus, there is an area I hunt down here that has shotgun only zones.
I know this is Rifle Country and this is a 12 gauge rifle. Ithaca Model 87 (37) fused barrel Featherweight Deerslayer. Basically the late eighties equivalent to the present day Deerslayer II. Kings Ferry production (hence the 87 model designation that happened in 1987) Leupold Vari-X III 1.5-5x20 which is my favorite scope for anything.
Shoots Winchester Partition Golds pretty well and they work great on hogs.
I just got a rifled barrel for my 20 ga BPS so that should be fun too and may give this some competition. I am using my LR-308 more as well and am dabbling with the .45 Raptor and .450 Bushmaster so who knows.
