A few years ago picked up a 270win because it was left handed and wanted something other than my 308win that had ammo and components that were available in my area. Here the 270 was the most economical followed by 308. It's an lefty Ruger Hawkeye so it's pretty ordinary. Been practicing offhand unsupported and with an real rifle sling using an Minox optic.

Typically I'm not specifically going after deer and to me their incidental but the canyon behind the house has a few so I come across them time to time.
