Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What's your main deer rifle this year ?

I never figured you for a 444 kind of guy.

CVA Scout, 44 mag. Has a nikon 2-7x prostaff on board. Since I hunt in Indiana, we are limited to shotguns, ML, handguns, and pistol caliber rifles.

Stevens 200, 7mm-08, bedded in a Boyd's thumbhole laminate, Nikon Team Primos 3-9x40, 120 NBT @ 3100 for the rifle, although I plan to spend most of the time out with the iron sighted Redhawk loaded with 240 XTP's @ 1475.

Remington LSS Mtn. rifle in 7mm/08, 140 Accubond over Varget.

Any two of these four will be used on every hunt by my nephew and I;
.223AI Remington LTR using 53gr TSX or 55gr TTSX w/6.5-20x50 Zeiss Conquest

.257 WBY Vanguard Sub MOA using 100gr TTSX w/4.5-14x50 Zeiss Conquest

.280 Steyr Prohunter using 120gr TTSX w/4.5-14x40 Leupold VXIII.

.300 WSM Winchester using 150gr Interbonds w/3.5-10x44 Zeiss Conquest.

Hopefully all will get plenty of action considering your allowed three does a day in Unit L in Tennessee.

I think this year I am going to take old reliable most of the time. My name sake. A Ruger M77 Mark II in 270 win. topped off with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3x9 40mm and loaded with a 130 gr TTSX over 60 gr. H4831sc.

Then again I might go for a dink with this. Would this be considered baiting.

Awh, Yes the ever present BLUE TAPE everyone needs that on their gun for hunting according to some here a couple of years ago.

Nice guns but I'd use a finger cot it's more useful, it'll keep the rain from going down the barrel.

Kimber Montana .308 Win. It's wearing a Leupold 2.5-8X w/ B&C 'hairs in Tally ringmounts. The load uses the 165 grain Nos. accubond over 43.5 grains of RL15, WW brass, Fed 210 match primers.

Probably the Kimber 8400 .300 WSM, since I have an elk tag for the same season. Maybbe the Win 70XTR Fwt 7x57, though.

It will be my "new" Winchester M70 Stainless Featherweight .270 win. I've had it for four years but only just recently put a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40 on it. Will use Winchester 130gr. Power Points.

Mark-X Mannlicher in 7x57, 2-7x33 Leupold, 140 Partitions

There should be prizes for chitt like this.



I'm giving it a Thumbs Up!

That is a classy rig!

Marlin guide gun for most of my hunting, 30-06 vanguard for the greenfields with paw paw.

Whats the outlook on that 25-06?
