Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your favorite deer rifle?

My favorite deer rifle for the past 30 years is my .257 Ackley. It's a Mauser Mark X barreled action that I put in a Fancy walnut stock from Fajen back in the late 70's. The action and barrel channel are glass bedded, and the barrel is free floating. It's topped with a Leupold 6x scope. My hunting loads shoot 117 gr Sierra GameKing or 120 gr Hornady HP bullets.

I've killed a Mule or Whitetail deer and a Pronghorn Antelope with it almost every year, plus 3 Bighorn rams, a Dall ram, a Mountain Caribou, and a 6 pt bull Elk.
