My Ruger Hawkeye RSI 308 or my Tikka T3x Lite 308 if it's wet. I changed the scope on the Tikka. It has a Burris Signature Safari 1.75x5 now.

Alabama : Encore muzzleloader, MRC X2 in 7mm08 , Swaro Z3 3-10x42 and Rem 700 XCR 2 in 270 win, VX3 3.5-10x40. If I get bored and get some deer killed I might do a few hunts with my encore 7mm08 pistol,

I plan to primarily bow hunt all season here.
So my main squeeze will be the Bear Adapt 60#.
Rifles will be a M7 308 in SS or a BAR SAFARI 30-06.
