Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting A very basic, common, .308 rifle setup

IMO the .308 Win and 300 Sav fit in the same niche - and I have two of each
.308 Kimber Montana with 2-7X33 Vari-X II (great rifle, but more of a practical tool than the others. Gets a lot of use and I don't worry about wear and tear)
.308 Savage 99F with 1.5-5 Vari-X III (kind of finicky, less use these days)
300 Sav Remington 700 Classic with 2-7X33 VX2 (most accurate, real sweet since cutting barrel back to 22" and putting in Timney trigger)
300 Savage 99F with Williams receiver sight (new to me, goes into rotation this fall as a walking and too-sloppy-for-scope-weather rifle)

None of them are safe queens. Throw in my 30/30 99F and I think I have just enough deer rifles
