Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Deer of a lifetime- which gun/load?

What I used two days ago to kill my buck of a lifetime.

264 Win Mag pushing 120 gr Bal Tips going 3200 fps.

I killed this one below at 180 yards. Crushed shoulder and took off the top third of the heart.

Gun. Pre-64 Model 70 Winchester. 26 inch barrel. The Westerner.

I knew this buck was around, hence why this gun got the nod. Last five shots (before this buck) went into a 3 inch spotter, at 300 yards.

Its a laser and hell of a gun for a sporting rifle. For you guys that know me, know that I have fired and owned a ton of guns. This one is really special. If I ever lost this Westerner, I would be looking for another the next day.
