Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters A Close-in Deer Rifle

Hunting the western edge of the Adirondacks ALL of my deer rifles are suitable for close in.

Two Savage 99s. And sometimes you can get more than one shot off when surprised up close with these (been up to 4 on running deer, and yes I got the deer, a well broken in 99 can be fast!):
1923 99F type 1, 30/30, takedown, 20 in barrel, Redfield receiver sight. And this 100 yr old rifle is very well broken in.
1956 99F, 300 Sav, Williams receiver sight.

Two short action bolt guns. These are the one-shot rifles:
Kimberly Montana, .308, Leupold VariX II 2-7x33.
Remington 700 Classic 300 Sav, barrel cut down to 22in, VX2 2-7x33.
