Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors What gun are you guys using (or used) for big game this season?

I want Your problems!!

Winner! I think your brass will be worth more than my rifles!

Thanks. I also have the same rig you listed (Super Redhawk in .44mag) But mine wears a 2x Leupold.

I've taken several deer with both.

I got the Super Blackhawk Hunter handed down to me from my Dad. It's a real special one for me to be able to own and use.

I hunt in Southern Michigan in what used to be called the
"Shotgun Only Zone." A few years ago the law was changed and allows deer hunting with straight wall cartridges 35 caliber and larger with maximum case length of 1.8".
This year I will be hunting with a Bushmaster 450 Bushmaster
AR style rifle for the first time. This rifle is one of the most accurate guns I have ever shot.
Last year I took a doe with a Smith&Wesson XVR Revolver in 460S&W magnum.

I knew of these and went to an auction when I saw this gun in the add the auction said it was a made up gun so only a few people looked at it my friend Ron R. had the most 71's that I
knew off he told me what to look at on the gun and it was real now i need the 45-70 to go with it I know of one but can't by it

Current planned battery is the 358 Brush Gun and a tang safety Ruger in 270 Win.

Crappy weather choice will be a synthetic stocked Rem 700 in 30-06.

Gophergunner is coming to the area this year, I'll have to watch extra close that my 99 doesn't go him with him!

Probably a 99H in 30-30.
Stever, there are some nice bucks in Iron County this year. I have 11 pointer on camera and friend shot (bow) tall 11 pointer 2 days ago 10 miles from here! Should be fun season.

I am hunting with my father's 1952 Rem 740 jamatic, and my 1899B 25-35. My son would like my father's rifle, but he wants me to kill a deer with it first. The only thing it's ever killed legally was my wife's bull moose.

i'll take the bottom one in 25-35

This year, for the first time in about 25 years, I will hunt deer in NY State. My home state doesn't allow rifle deer hunting - unless you consider using a Savage bolt action shotgun a rifle....it actually is, but I digress.

I will hunt NY State this year with my Savage 99 E, bought from someone at the 'fire as a barreled action and restocked by me. It wears a 4x Leupold which I purchased from another member, and it will be shooting my handloads featuring a 180 grain Hornady round nose bullet. Caliber is 300 Savage. I will also take along my Remington Model 7 in 7mm-08.

Thanks, Norm. Too bad you're on the other side of the border. I fell into this one. I have shot only one other and looked at many. All have had poor bores.This one is great and shoots like a house on fire. On January 20th I will be picking up a 32-40 and a 38-55. Guns have a little less condition but bores on BOTH are mirror. Those two will round out my 1899B's 25-35, .303, 30-30, 32-40 and 38-55.

LBK you only need one shot..

I'll be using my 1899H in 30-30 with stith mounted old weaver
and my 284DL with 3-9 lo-pro redfield on the corn field

good luck to all !

And to you as well. Trust me, the ONLY reason I am using the 740 is to make my son happy. I never saw my father kill ANYTHING legally.

How about illegally?😱

EVERYTHING. Laws meant nothing to him.

Maybe a 358 or 350RM or Marlin 356 or 375S,but opening few day's a 250-3000 Saddlegun will get the nod. [img:center][/img] [img:center][/img] [img:center][img]http: [img:center][URL=http://.../sqweeler/102_1360_zpsnap1o7c6.jpg[/img][/img] [img:center][/img] [img:center][/img]

99f 358 win. LBK, my dad had hunted with a 740 in 308 since 1958. Killed a few bucks with it myself. His advice is use 180 psp' s and don't look back. No round nose bullets. Keep it clean and you will be fine. Does my heart good when I hear his rifle report on a frosty morn in November.

Dad's was bought for him as a gift from the family in 1952. He got his arm caught in a paper machine and lost the majority of use in his left arm. The gun has never jammed. He always used 220 grain Rem core-lokt round nose bullets. I just want to get it over with and give it to my son. Not many good memories associated with it. One good one was my wife killing her first moose with it. Only legal thing the gun has ever been involved with.
