As usual, all I can do is narrow the choices down. When you see me in the woods on the Saturday after Thanksgiving you will see what I finally decided on.

Current thought is my close-in deer rifle would be an 1873 Winchester in 38-40, a .348 Winchester model 71 deluxe rifle, a 1926 99G in .300 Savage, and a Stainless/walnut 6.5x55 Ruger No. 1. But, plans change.

Dave,
Super cool choice. You have good taste and superb judgement.
Good luck.

Model 71 Winny in 33 cal.and it is Factory made 33 Wow. I think you are going to get the prize on the rarest, and probably most valuable on the board. Where did you find something like that? Very cool.

I got a doe on Tuesday with my new Ruger Scout in 308 so it's going back in the rack.
Next up is my 99 H Carbine (1928) , I just got it last week. It is in 303 Savage.

I hunt 99% of the time in a shotgun only zone. I only get to use my 99's if I go to my friends camp so I have to suffer with my CSMC Professional SXS 20 gauge slug gun. Life is tough. ![[Linked Image]](https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7646/16635393018_69d28955c9_z.jpg)

Gonna go sight in tomorrow morning.. and I haven't decided. Wanna use a 250. Maybe the B engraved refinished rat, or the 1941 EG with Lyman Alaskan and Stith. Hmmmm.... Or the 99T? Or the prewar R with Weaver T7 and Weaver 330?
Or maybe just the lucky gray rat EG in 300 Savage.
I'll surprise myself.
