No plans but depends on what happens. Been doing some logging and if it opens up the way it might and hunting from a tower style stand, I might want a rifle with a bit more heft to it to remain steady for the longer shots there. My Montana is a dream and IMO - THE perfect deer rifle but something with a heavier weight might be better for holding steady on the longer shots where margin is slimmer.
If I do - I expect it will be a Creedmoor or another 7-08 for ease.

Got my eye on a nice G33/40 custom in 257 Boberts, but his price is a little ambitious for me.

Not one here either. At my age I will never use all the deer rifles I already have. I'm very lucky as it really doesn't matter how bad ammo or reloading supplies are to get I have plenty. Have a great day. Jim

Hanco: I am afflicted with both intense planning and impulse buying when it comes to firearms. Have been for 5+ decades now. I would say by the time next "Deer season" comes along I will have at least two more Deer Rifles in my gun vault room. In fact I recently (2 weeks ago) bought a nifty Remington 700 "Long Range" heavy barrel Rifle in caliber 7m/m Remington Magnum complete with quality rings and bases and a Leupold 6.5x20 variable scope. Not much "planning" on that one but I got it so cheap if I decide to sell it I will make at least $300.00 in profit on it. It would make an outstanding "long range - open country" Deer/Elk/Antelope Rifle. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Not necessarily a plan for a new one, but will try and use something I have not hunted with yet.

I been kicking around the idea of 6.5 CM. I have several deer rifles I have really come to like and I will probably put the money I would spend on a new rifle into my budget for a new SxS and make that happen quicker.

I sure as hell hope not but I expect I will. My son bought a Savage 99 last year and really likes it. But a couple weeks ago he bought one he likes even more. Both are 300's and he never keeps duplicates so I'll probably have to buy the old one at some point this year. Not that I need anymore guns but I know how it shoots

I’m going to do some fine tuning and load testing on the left handed Savage 350 Legend I bought before this past season. I have a brand new never fired left handed Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor that I have to put a scope on and work up a load in case I go out of state where I can hunt with a bottleneck rifle cartridge.

Nope. Last summer I picked up a NIB Kimber Subalpine 30-06. I'll take it out for sight in on Friday for the first time. I'll take it to the 'fire annual hog hunt in March.

I'm sticking with the 275 Rigby in good weather and switch to the beater 308 in the rain.

I've got a Model 7 I bought last year that I didn't get setup; this is currently on my agenda.
I'm considering the purchase of a 7 Mag currently listed in the classifieds, while a currently open tab on my computer displays a Remington 700, 243 Win...so yeah, I'll have at least one more new rifle before the November 2023 deer season hits.

I built a DIY 308 last year and used it with success on three deer, building another one now in 6.5CM (ammo is easy to find and affordable, performance is fine and one of the only Proof pre-fit barrels available), just waiting on the McMillan stock which should be delivered in a week or so. I've got one more DIY pre-fit build in mind that I hope to get finished this year, that would be a 7mm PRC. Depends on where and when I can find a receiver that meets my needs (affordable and takes Proof pre-fits).

None are ever planned. But I'm a push over for those older hi-gloss and blue long guns.
