Here in Indiana cf rifles have only been legal for deer the last 5-6 years.I have lots of "better"deer rifles-6x45,.243's,25-06,creedmoor etc.but the last 3 years have always used a Marlin 336A 30-30 with a 4x Leupold.8 shots from 50-221 yards,using 130 grain Speer sp starting at 2500, have taken 6 deer and 2 coyotes.This years buck scored 174".Just put a 77/44 in the classifieds-acquired after season was over or I'd try it out.
