All of my deer in 57 years of whitetail hunting have been taken with pre'64 M/70's with the exception of the first that was taken with a pre'64 M/88 .308. Great combination of pre'64 M/70 and Lyman Alaskan in the pic, a setup that I have frequently used though my current deer rifle has a Lyman All American Perma Center 4x with LEE dot. Nearing 70 years old I need a little more magnification than 2 1/2X, the M/88 had a Weaver K2.5 in a Weaver pivot mount.

Kyle,
Very pretty European mount. Did you do it yourself, or have it done?

Yeah, but we always forget to add " . . . and know what I know now."

Can anyone recommend a good optometrist in the kid’s area? Why? Maybe he's in a brown it's down area. Nothing wrong with that. Great buck -Jake

The optometrist comment was the result of some confusion over the nice 8-point the OP killed and a picture of a definite "meat deer" another member posted.

Sure there are bigger bucks out there. But there is a lot more to hunting and a successful hunt than the size of the antlers or horns. That is a nice deer.

Nice buck but that dog looks like a trophy if I ever saw one.
