Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Deer hunting rifle... what caliber?

Not aesthetically a real stunner, but looks good in a rugged kind of way. Just put it in this stock today, soon as I can get it zeroed, it'll go hunting. Built the rifle last year and it was zeroed in another stock so that shouldn't be too bad of a chore.

Remington 700 SA, squared up and with a PacNor 22" barrel in .308 Win., Timney trigger, Grayboe terrain inletted for AICS mags, action notched to accommodate 2.9" and a little change OAL, NF NXS 2.5-10X42 with mildot reticle.

I am ready for that challenging Eastern Whitetail shot of 40 yards.....
