Not me but I met a guy in KY who hunted solely with a .303 British.
Not long after we met I heard him fire and later in camp I went and saw his 7 pt buck.
I'm more of a modern colorful rifle shooter.

my spanish mauser in 308 been somewhat sportized,,all of the top stuff taken off for less weight,,weaver scope zeroed at 110 yards ,, its deadly,, in 1987 i believe maybe 88,, they was selling these for 89 bucks a a local store,, i bought it just to see how frankenstienish i could do with it,, but limiting it to not putting much money into it,, now,,i not going to talk 100 yard moa,,i will say at 110 yards i can hit a 2 litler of water dyed red all day long and i consider that a vital area on a doe,, its just one of those things a guy engages in that makes absoluteliy no sence maybe to another person,, but i like what i did and enjoy that rifle,, the moser nagant i will have to shoot alot to see where we stand,, i was watching(on you tube) a video of a guy shooting a 24inch by 24 inch target at 600, 800 yards i was like i want one of those rifles now,, i got one at the next gun show,, a hand picked tula hex reciever absolutely clean for 135,, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2M1hC4c0tc make that 1000 yards on this video,, dam accurate rifles

I sure like shooting an M1 but I don't like the stripper clips. I wonder what it would be like to hunt with an M1A that had a scope mounted.

Heavy, they are REALLY heavy......................BTDT, got away from it right quick, too. HK91s are heavy, too, with or without a scope.

I know a guy here in Montana whose only big game rifle since he started at 12 has been a completely stock 1903 Springfield. His freezer is always full and he has some nice antlers and hides around his house as well.

Two so far: One with dad's VZ 24 WWII trophy and one with an uncle's 1903. Both rifles have their original sights.
Unc killed a mess of deer on the farm over 40 years with that rifle, but it ain't much fun to carry. She's a beauty, but too damn heavy.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

I picked up a custom Arisaka 6.5 carbine a couple of years
ago and havent taken it hunting yet. Someday I will shoot
a deer with a Remington rolling block in 7x57mm.

I started with a 93 Mauser 7x57..................... I wish it was still here! Me too! Killed my first several deer with it! Still have it. Actually a Spanish Ovedio 1916. Mom got it for me for Christmas 1969! Paid $19.95 for it! Bud of mine stuck a newer 7 x 57 military bbl on it about 15 years ago. I think at least one of my boys has killed deer with it too!

I started out with an Oviedo 1916 also, in 1967. My dad paid $15 for it. That was my first deer season and I carried that rifle in as-issue form. Sadly, it went the way of the wind after that first year when I discovered the joys of Krags and Springfields.
