Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting A new rifle before next season?

I just snagged a Marlin 336 on gunbroker.com . I plan on sending it off to JES to have it bored out to 38-55. The goal is to end up with an Ohio-legal centerfire deer rifle.

Just bought a couple 99’s, need to put scopes in them, see how they shoot. A 243 and a 358. I’ve never fired a 243 in my life. I’ve loaded lots of 243 rounds for grandkids. I’ve never fired a 358 either.

New to me guns keep showing up.

Nothing new for me. AAMOF, I ought to get rid of some.

i just got 2 new rifles both brand new and still in the box, Ruger #1 in 44 mag and a Browning BLR s.s. in a 7 mm Rem Mag. the BLR has such nice wood it will be hard for me to hunt with this rifle,but i still will carefully.

Just got a Ruger Hawkeye Predator 308

Every year I tell myself no and every one of those years I end up adding adding at least one. This year will be no different. Already wanting to add another rifle from GA Precision.

I am always picking up a few guns. I have been interested in the .260 Remington the last couple of years. Picked up a Cooper in .260 and it is lights out. I then picked up a Rem 700 in .260 that has some customization. Mounted a Zeiss and now that our gun season closes tomorrow I plan test it out.
Last night I read an article on the new guns that came out at the SHOT show. Kinda have my eye on a .260 in the AR platform for this coming year.
A couple of year ago I built an AR in 6.8 SPC II and I really like using it for shooting whitetails and hogs.

I might get two more. I got a RAR Predator .223 Rem. But that's more for goofing off with. I'd like to get a M7600 in 06 or .270 and an M70 Extreme Weather in .308 or .7-08. Hell, I'll get as many as I can afford.

No, not me. I have all I really wanted.
In fact I may sell one. Browning BLR in 30-06. Cool gun and quite accurate, but I fin't I just don't hunt with it much.

I never really plan to get a new one. It just seems to happen!

Hell no ! I've already got more deer rifles than I can use. Bought a 6.5 Creedmoor last year and killed 2 deer with it this past season. Hunted my .30-06 a couple times before that and that was it this past season. That left eight "deer rifles" that never even got out in the woods. My .22-250 is two years old now and still hasn't seen the deer woods yet. I need another deer rifle like I need another hole in my head.

I added a Gun Storage Solutions rifle rod kit to my safe and almost doubled my capacity from 18 to 35, I’ve gotta buy something!! A Knight Ultra-Lite 50 cal is first on the list.

Might finally be able to order a NULA, if not I’ll probably buy a Kimber Montana or a Savage 16 Lightweight Storm. Probably 308 for any of them, or 257 Roberts for the first 2 options. Though if I come across a Winchester 70 or Ruger 77 in 270 or 257 I don’t think I could pass it up. Need another 22 and would like to get a muzzleloader but neither of those are quite as exciting to me.

I won't be getting any new ones most likely, but I am going to have some work done to a couple of mine. The 300saum is going to get rebarreled and my 243 is going to get cerakoted. Might refinish the stock on the 243 if I get ambitious.

I get a "new" one before every season. I work it into the rotation. While I'm hunting I'm often planning which ones I'll bring the following year. Then I buy something else and it messes up that plan.

For me it's more about the guns than the deer.

Nothing here, but there are still 4 unfired spares in the safe.

There's a long time between now and next deer season. I may end up buying 5 more rifles in that time.. Just sayin..

I'm always shopping, but don't often find something I would want, at a price I will pay.
I sure as heck don't need anything, so there are a few wants, but they have to be bargains.
Or, will buy anything, if it's too cheap. And not stolen.

Bought one evening before last,if that counts.

Probably

I've been looking for a rainy day/crappy weather/truck gun for 8 months or so and haven't found anything. I was in WalMart (I know) last night and they have Savage Axis II stainless synthetic (I know) marked down to $239. With the $60 rebate, I doubt I'll find anything cheaper.

I haven't bought a new rifle in over 10 years.
