Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What Rifle Have You Killed The Most Deer With

Remington 7600 in 35 Whelen, my Whelenizer. The load was 200 Grain Rem SPCL over H4895. I took at least one deer with it for about a decade.

The new GOTO rifle is a Ruger Hawkeye in 30-06 shooting 165 Hornady SP's over H4895.

1972 win super grade 270. 130 grain

Remington Model 700 Classic 270, probably killed 40 or so with it.

Sako 7 Rem mag, hands down.

My Ruger M77 Ultralight in 243 Win. stacked up Mid-Atlantic dinks like cord wood. Moved away and sold rifle. Still regret selling that rifle.

I use a Ruger #1 with a custom brux barrel in a 257 weatherby mag. /niteforce scope for the last 10 years for deer hunting

One of the best mule deer + picture combos ever!! Very well done. Again, you have a picture/critter history that few I've ever met can rival. Super.

The rifle I've killed the most deer with is a Ruger SS/lam in 338 Win Mag. But, like Skane, I've killed more with a slug gun than anything.

Hi Scenarshooter, you are a very interesting fellow, if you ever writhe a book I will be sure to read it .

My tastes seem to change every couple of years. When it was just whitetails back in the early 80's I had a super accurate Remington 700 ADL in .270. Sold it, like a dummy, and bought a Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker in .270. Killed a pile with it. Then I bought a Browning A-Bolt in .257 Roberts, traded it for a Model 70 Featherweight in .257 Roberts and killed pile of whitetails with it. Then I bought a Remington 700 Ti in 7mm RSAUM and slayed west Texas mulies and yotes for a loooong time with it. I've killed tons of axis with my Bushmaster in .223 as well. If you count all the critters killed, whitetails, sheep, hogs, etc. the winner would be my Browning A-Bolt in .270.

They're all about to take a back seat to my Barrett Fieldcraft in 6.5X55.

Winchester Model 64 in 32 Special.

It would have to be either the Rem 600 in 243 or a Savage 99 in 243. Both were used as I was growing up hunting a ranch that was trying to take 200 doe a year off of it. I know of one year the 600 accounted for 39 deer.

The most, 243.

I used a Winchester Model 70 in .243 for about 30 years. Today I use the 6.5s. (6.5x55 - 6.5 Creedmoor - 6.5x284)

I haven't taken a deer with a rifle, yet. Bow, crossbow, and shotgun, but my muzzleloader and rifle are still unblooded.

An Italian shotgun,
with a name I can't spell!

Back in the day, early 90's for a couple three years, did depredation hunts for a watermelon and pumpkin farmer that grew and had a contract with wally-mart, must have shot 300 deer, every one with the mighty 7mm STW and first gen 140 gr Nosler ballistic tips at 3600 fps, smoked the throat and a lot of deer ass' with that rifle, it was a brand new Winchester classic Laredo when I got started, had an old 6.5-20x40 AO Leupold twister spray painted flat black on top.

Got my very first deer with a rifle (mod 70 3006) and then every one since 1985 has been a shotgun or ML the past 15 years has been all ML.

Have a new 7-08 as of yet unhunted. Need t change that.

A custom 1999 MRC in 300 win mag in a McMillan stock. Wears a Kahles 3.5x10x50mm scope and spews Barnes TTSX. My favorite rifle, it's been there done that, killed lots of big whitetails, plains game in South Africa, etc.

Got a good chuckle out of that description. I can just see it happening......!

When I started hunting some 50+ years ago do to my young age and limited funds I built my arsenal with a specific purpose for each gun. A pump shotgun for small game, a .22 for plinking and squirrels and a rifle for deer hunting, They covered all my needs for 20+ years and I was as happy as could be with them. I shot more deer with that Mossberg 800A in .308 Win. than I can remember. Then later in life when I had more money to play with I caught the gun fever and seemed to be hunting with a different rifle every deer season, I can never catch up the to number of deer that old cheap Mossberg laid to rest. Maybe I will dust her off an and hit the woods wth her next year, might make me feel younger.
