My season is over. A custom .45 caliber SML.

TC encore 50 in a few weeks


Featherweight xtr 270 after that

This is our first full year of legal rifle season here... I'll be missing the old slug gun about as much as a toothache.

My primary in the stand will be the CVA Scout in 300 Blackout. The foul weather backup and just in the off chance I ground hunt this year will the the BB94 in 375 Win. For ML season it's just a CVA Wolf, which is only ML I own now.

I've got a running list in my phone of all the rifles to sight-in after scope swaps, as well as those I need to simply check zero on. There's likely a dozen or more rifles I'll take after whitetails this season, as our season is about three months long. I picked up a new 350 Legend for our Primitive Weapons season, so I'm going to try that one out a fair bit. Also have a new-to-me Ruger 77/44 that I want to get bloody, as well as a .257wby I've yet to fire in anger.

I envy you guys with that much time. Rifle is 7 days here, and ML is 3.

Just for starters

It’s too late, but had it happened, it would have been my usual rifle or my S&W 460 XVR! memtb

AR in 6.8 SPC

700 BDL in 6mm Remington.

700 from Remimgton Custom Shop in 7-08.

TC Hawken, Green Mountain barrel .54 with PRB.

Savage - 25-06

Steyr - 270

If I go, it will be significantly older than me and probably in a cartridge few, if any, are familiar with.

I am keeping it simple this year.

2nd year production Win Model 70 in .270 Win with a Lyman Alaskan 4x Permacenter Scope from the 60’s.

The Marlin 336...35 Rem.
JES rebarelled 358 win Rem 700.
M7 SS 7-08
and a plethora of 243's.

I am turning into a 35 cal ho... I guess theres worse thing to be...

Since the weather was fair, for our opener last weekend, took some old iron out !





Once it turns for chit, SS TC prohunter, in .25-06

Definitely a rifle.
Most likely 30-30 for walking. 30-06 for sitting.

Season is over now. Grandson zapped this whitetail (youth hunt,) with a 64gr winchester power point (discontinued) from an 18" Ruger MPR. MV = 2800fps.
Next year he'll use Speer 70gr SP running a little slower.

With both shoulders having been replaced this year, the right between Christmas and NY and the left the last of June, I really don't know yet. It will be either the 6.5 Grendel, .243 Forester, or 7x57 Win FW. Will know in the next couple weeks when I try to shoot them. I do have loads worked up for them from before.
Have a great day.
Jim

Model 7 308 will be pulled for schits and giggles at some point
