Have used various rifles there, starting with my old .30-06, a 7mm Wea., 270, .25-06, and a couple .300's. I have found several stands where I can watch old strip mines, and often get a long shot opening day, or on the Saturdays.. For this spot I use one of the .300's, but the .270 and .25-06 have taken a couple also.. For more traditional hunting I have a 7mm-08 with a fairly stiff barrel cut to 21".. I killed my last couple whitetails in Pa. with it.. It is doubtful I make the trip in the future, as the camp is being sold.. Fun while it lasted.. Molon Labe

The old timer who had the farm where we stayed shot a Winchester M71 348 Win! He used to say "When I fire a shot they know it's my 348!" Now that I have made it to senior status I am concerned about getting hurt from the recoil of the cannons we have. I just sold a 375 HH and am even complaining about the recoil from a 300 Win M. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get out.

Most of the 20 hunters in our PA deer camp carried 760s in .30-06 (and a couple of 99s in .300 Savage). Today it's 7 or 8 hunters and they all carry bolts. Grice has dozens of 760s on the used racks. It's sad to see them being traded in. They are still good rifles for woods hunting - powerful, accurate and fast. But, it's definitely shifted to bolt guns in larger-than-necessary calibers. I use a Model 7 .308. It's light, fast to handle and accurate enough for the occasional longer shot. Last edited by msquared; 02/23/15.
