I got a few pre-War carbines this past year and needed to shoot something with them. I took the 270 (Pre-Creedmoor) to Eastern Montana and went hunting for Mule Deer. It was cold, but not slick or muddy and we found some nice deer. We all got one, here is mine and my son's... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/iathJ6r.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/aIjEdTh.jpg)

Way cool Shrap, But isn't that scope a little small?  Geno PS, nice hat, mine came out for the winter a few weeks back too, same color even.

Nice bucks!
You toss the carbine outta the truck window and check zero?

Also, what bullet and distance and was the bullet recovered, please? No recovered bullets, he was using a 270 as well with 130 grain Nosler BT. Mine was at around 100 yards, his was a bit farther at 475...

Well done! Especially with a vintage rifle/scope. Cool factor very high on this one.
Curious about the scope. Any details?

Well done! Those are some nice bucks.
