Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting share a field pic of your favorite deer rifle

Its not the one I use anywhere near the most (that honor goes to my .25-06), but my favorite is my 1899 in 303 Sav.

i'd have one if I lived in a free state that allows rifle hunting.

I love that buck in your pic. Very cool.

Jeff, you look a lot like my brother-in-law, nice buck by the way.

Maybe not my favourite but close. One I like to pack when on the hoof after the whitetail. In this pic it is out on a moose hunt. Taken a couple nice bulls with it over the last couple years.

Remi 700 in the 100 Aniversery 30-06.



Or anyone of these off the bench at home lol.

Me too!!! It WOULD be this one, I have never killed a deer with my favorite deer rifle because I cannot use it where I live. If you go by how often it is used...THIS is it! The 99 is a 1959 EG, .308. The Hawken is a Cabela's Sporterized Hawken, .50. 240 XTP over 100gr. 777. Range was 148 yds.

Forbes 24b in 30/06. It has been a lucky one.

Wow. I have way too many that I have taken deer with. I generally kill deer with 2-3 different rifles every year.

I can narrow it down to 4 only

My first deer rifle. Rem 141 35 Rem:


My favorite modern deer rifle. Sako Finnlight 7-08 with McMillan stock/fluted bolt and VXIII Tactical 3.5-10x40:



My favorite classic. Win 88 in 308. It now wears a new VX2 3-9x40:


And I can't leave out my Knight muzzleloader. It has taken many whitetail. It now wears a new VX2 3-9x40 HD:




No traditional leverguns because I kinds use them mainly for black bear now. Mostly 348 Wins and a 444 Marlin. Have taken plenty of deer with leverguns though......

.308win-Bat action-21" Batlien

Geez, nice neck hole.....

Nothing like a good pic of the barrel pointing right at your head

Just kidding Stoney. Sweet looking buck right there. Canadian, I presume.

Don't hear of many BAT deer rifles. Details?

Borden Timberline 300wm........

H&R Topper in 30-30. 36" rifle for hunting out of pop-up blinds.
Works well to shoot out of those small windows.

Win 70 Featherweight in .270. Leupold VX-1 with LRD. Cerakote graphite black and Mickey handle.

Luv my 722 300...

Current favourite, works OK for moose calves too!
Brno 22F 7x57 W/ Leupold 2.5x
Original Brno QD skeleton mounts, upgraded with single Recknagel trigger to replace the DST and three position Dakota safety to replace the original wing safety.
Handy, accurate, and elegant.

Thanks for sharing the photos of one of my favorite rifles. I even like the mods you've done on that one....

To be honest though, I'm torn between what looks better in your photo - as calf moose is about the top of the heap when it comes to game meat that I've tried. That sir has the potential to be many, many fine dining experiences.

Thanks again sir for your contribution tonight, all the best to you folks and good luck on your remaining hunts this fall.

Here's my favorite: A Savage 99 in 308 WIN. It is my Opening Morning favorite. So far it has been around for 3 of my largest bucks. In fact, it only shoots bucks and then I put it away for the year.

This is my Winchester 94 Legacy which Dad gave to me in 1995.

30-30 is a keeper!

More than a few guys in this thread post pictures of a Savage 99 as their favorite deer rifle...Why the hell did Savage discontinue that rifle? Seems like it would be a good seller.
