Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles This years deer rifles and pistols

Model 70 6.5 x 55 swede
Marlin 30-30
TC Impact 50 cal
22 or 38 with snake shot for the crawlies

Older wood stocked rifles on nice days and stainless steel synthetic stocks on crappy days.

I’m taking three new to me rifles. A Steyr in 8mm Mauser, Sako30-06 and a Remington in 350 Rem mag.

First up will be my new to me this year husqvarna .30-06. Want to shoot a whitetail with it before taking it elk hunting later in november
If I manage to get an elk I probably won't shoot any more deer, but any others I do shoot will likely be with the Roessler titan 6 in .243. Maybe with a Marlin XS7 in .308

I'll be using my Dad's 760 '06 and I'll shoot the first legal deer that comes by. It will then get oiled down and live in the safe until my boys are old enough to use it. Lost Dad June 4th of this year, hopefully I can see through the tears to shoot.

NULA 308W with Leo 6x36 lrd is on the mound. The Defiance 30-06 with NF SHV 3-10x42 is in the bullpen. Still need to work up lead free loads for the 6.5x55, 9.3x62, and .223 for this fresh hell before they get in the lineup. Big bores are benched for the season.

i like your plan.

1) LH Rem 700 KS in 270, Leupold 2.5x8
2) LH P.O. Ackley Mauser in 7x57, Lyman 48

Have not blooded the Mauser since Mr. Kobe fitted the barrel. 160gr NPT over an average charge of I4350. Have a 130gr NBT / H4895 load worked up for the 270 to mimic 6.5CM speed and recoil. If the light load bounces off the deer, I have a full house 130gr NPT / H4831 load worked up to nearly same POI.

Arrowhead Obsidian muzzle loader.

That .357 Max is highly effective in my experience.

Yes
Yes it is
Used a Maxi last year
Killed 2 with it previously as a magnum

1954 Model 70 in 300 Hand H
Model 70 FWT XTR in 6.5x55
Model 70 FWT XTR in 7x57

Then any # of various other stuff.

The usual…..my Tikka 7 mag and my Glock 21.

Ruger Hawkeye in 338 Federal with a SWFA 3-9 & a Ruger Hawkeye in 6.8 spc2 with a Trijicon 3-9 Suppressed.

1st will be my m70 fwt in 280 with 140 partitons
a 700 BDL in 7 Rem Mag throwing 150 NBTs will pull back up duty.
maybe dad's old 700 in 308.
my Lyman Deerstalker flintlock
my CVA accura will do early Bear duty
my 28 Nosler for the bean field days

After a long break in pistol hunting, I now have a red dot about to be mounted on my Blackhawk Flat Top .44 Special.
That was to be the way for Yotes and WT this year until Ruger introduced the SFAR. Now there's one of them sitting in the safe waiting for blood too.
Our DNR has gone silly with rules so I'll have to check how many WT one can put in the freezer with a firearm this year.

Montana in 7-08 139 Interlock
Ruger 77RL in 260 Rem 120 TTSX
Savage 99F 300 150 Interlock
Savage 99F 250 100 Interlock

Honestly have not thought that far ahead. Elk are the brain right now.

I will be carrying my 338-06 with 210gr TTSX's for the month of October. I have a cow elk tag, but more importantly helping a friend with his limited entry bull tag that took 29 years to draw.

But now that I have thought of it.....Model 70 Classic in 270 Win and/or Sig Sauer 10mm.

Most of my deer hunting is in the woods and shots rarely exceed 100 yards. The last few bucks I have shot have been taken with a Ruger 77/44 and while it did the job it didn't produce much of a blood trail with either one so when an opportunity came up for a deal on a Ruger American Ranch in 350 legend I decided to give it a try. For the few times I might be on a field edge I'll be using my model seven FS in 308.

That 300 is a cool old rifle.
