Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Hunting deer with season with single shot?

Putting in the photo request ahead of time

I have my Browning LW .44 dialed in with the tang sight, but need to zero the new Marbles folding barrel sight, which I aligned with the peep by eye.

The Henry .357 got its scope back last week, an old K4, and is ready to roll using 158gr XTP FPs over 18gr of Lil Gun.

There are six days of antlerless opportunities this month, along with bear and turkey. I’m hoping to get something down with the Excalibur before that, but acorns are literally everywhere, so the deer probably are everywhere and anywhere. Not complaining; the acorns may keep them in the woods where I have a chance as opposed to the crop fields across the river where I don’t……..

Might take the .308 #1 if I find a decent gloss scope for it.
Could take my .35 rem Contender 14".

Like Contender in handgun, prefer falling block if single shot rifle.

But its sooooooo hard not to take the 760 in .35 rem when in the timber.
Problem is we are a 1 buck state, and I don't hunt out of state (yet).
Just hard to "experiment" with one buck tag.
Not enough does on that spot (private).
And the gov ground near me doesnt allow firearm doe tags.

my 11 yr. old grandson will be shooting his 257 Roberts Ruger #1 1-B that i gave him to hunt deer with using a 75 gr. Hammer hunter bullet and this rifle shoots well with this bullet.teaching grandson Alex make that 1st shot count or as some of us say one and done. good luck this fall , Pete53

I dont fall for the single shot stuff.
One should always think theyll get one shot and act accordingly
No matter what firearm.

However, a #1 can be reloaded rather quickly.
Compared to a muzzleloader.

#1s are just cool good looking rifles.

Picked up new to me Encore 6.5x55 barrel, H&R Handi 30-30 and CVA Scout re-chambered to 360 BH. At least 2 of the 3 will get used.

Hell Ya single shots rule the deer blind for me. I have three new ones to try out. A Dakota M10 6.5X55 (thanks again to thomas Conner here on the fire) an 1885 Low Wall 243 nad a High Wall 25-06 both Brownings. If I get a chance some other's will see the field as well. A custom High Wall 38-55 and two custom #1's a 7MM-08 and a 300 Savage.

Yeah, at least a few times.

Would love to see some photos of that one...

Here's the 7MM-08 image hosting service

Wow, that No 1 is stunning congratulations!

Well that's a gorgeous chunk of rifle there GSPfan.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks, it's not to shabby. It will be in the blind this November.

that #1 is so`ooo nice i am not sure i could use that Ruger #1 and great choice in cartridge too. Pete53

TC Encore with .357 Max MGM barrel for me this year.

In the past, for a 12 yr. period over 4 states, I hunted exclusively with a Shiloh Sharps Montana Rough Rider in 45-90. Also took a deer with a Shiloh #1 Sporter in 40-70. They're still in the safe with a couple German kiplaufs that might see some use, if I go.

I thought that was the #1 you showed earlier. It's beautiful and in a wonderful caliber for a #1. Congrats on a wonderful rifle and good shooting.

XP100 35 Rem., Ruger No.1 in 405 and 6.5x55, 1885 in 348 Win. for starters.

That R#1 in 7mm-08 is stunning!

TC Encore with a .460 S&W Magnum barrel.
