I have not hunted deer in over 30 years. But, The “only one” scenario, gives me withdrawal symptoms.
I did put together “my near ideal” deer rifle, just in case I ever hunt them again.
M70 stainless, 7mm WSM, New Haven manufacture, McMillan dark McWoody supergrade stock, 2.5-10x42 Zeiss Victory with #4 reticle. Current bullet of choice, 150 grain TTSX.
I think this would cover me to as far or close as distance that I would shoot. And any angle intended or unintended.
Many rifles, cartridges, and bullets would perform as well or better. Hell, I would still be hard pressed not to use my Kimber Montana 325 WSM with 200 TSX, which would still cover my requirements.
Ok, if you could have only one deer rifle for all of your deer hunting, what would it be?
I think mine would be my Kimber 84m 308, 3-9 leupold compact and 130TTSX….you?
