I have 2 deer rifles. 4, if you count the caplock and flintlock. I have not shot at a deer in 2 years. Public land stinks.

I've already got a bunch here that I need to do some loads worked up for and another on the way. No more new guns this year.

Gonna be a slower year at work this fall, so I might even get to use some of those rifles. Come on moose draw!!

Kind of doubtful ... I already have most of the bases covered.. I need to use some I havent shot for years, or one 06 that has never had a round in the chamber...

No plans for anything new this year. I have 2 new ones that have been bloodied the last 2 seasons but I intend to hunt them more.
I also have plans for new load development with 2 new powders. Those powders more than likely will be utilized in more than 2 rifles/cartridges.

Han-co; I picked up a POS push feed model 70 for next to nothing, an attempt tp glass bed had glued action and stock together, action screws drilled out and a few other issues.

Plan is to slim down the stock a lot, re-barrel and bring back to life. That could be next years deer rifle. Perhaps even the Aoudad rifle. smile

Maybe a 141 in 30 Remington otherwise I think I will spend some money on a couple new top end scopes.

Wanting a full on custom but undecided on what I really want. Maybe some day.

I bought a 6.5 TC Compass in 6.5 cure this past year just to mess with the cartridge. I have a dozed very fancy and expensive rifles and this damn thing shoots as good or better than all of them. So yes, I'm going to buy another 6.5 and it will be eith a Mauser m18 or Bergara. No particular reason why, I just don't own either brand so something different

3 new to me acquisitions this past month a 1965 vintage 760 ADL pump in 30-06, a 1971 BDL pump in 270, and a 1968 700 BDL bolt in 270. Working on cleaning, scoping/rescoping them and bore sighting them now, any could be a possibility next fall.

Could also consider the 760 pump in 35 Remington I bought a little over a year ago but I'm waiting for the Denver Redfield 2 3/4X scope with post and crosshair to be rebuilt by Iron Sight Inc. to come back so I can put it on and bore sight it.

The plan is to go upstate NY in Qtips area (God rest his soul) and hunt with his cousin Ronnie, and Ronnie has a Remington 750 semi in 308 so I'll probably just bring my 7400 308 Jam-o-matic, we'll see.

Just bought one, A Sako 85 in 270 Winchester. Looked long and hard at the newer ones, ballistic tables and all of that till my brain was numb. The 270 with the newer bullets and powders still runs with current ones. That and I found a new for under $900..

Just took possession of a 270 Fieldcraft. Bought a Talley /Barrett rail and steel rings. Then I put one of the $232 Leupold Vx3i 3.5-10x40 scopes (ebay Deal ) on it. I cranked everything farmer tight going around strategically to each screw. It was a breeze to sight in. The trigger is amazing and recoil is very manageable.

According to the tracking #, Fred X is suppose to deliver me a shiny new limited edition Ruger 77 Hawkeye stainless/walnut .450 Bushmaster tomorrow. Finally, a .450 bolt gun without so much as a hint of Tacti-Cool!

Thanks ..... My job keeps me very busy in the fall. Starting Sept 12 last year I commenced to work on a job that took me right to New Years Day working 87 12hr shifts and a handfull of 10hr shifts. I didn't apply for any tags or even buy a deer tag. This year will be much slower aaaand much anticipated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A great friend (fishing partner) GAVE me a Savage Mod 10, 270WSM a couple of months ago.
He won it at a firehall gun raffle 8 years ago, and he never shot it !
It shoots ok, but I think it needs a little stock work to get it down to M O A .
Soon as it warms up I’ll get on that. It’s-3*f out in my shop right now!!

I LIKE THAT MOD. 70, looking forward to it. My wife is getting the “What will I do with all your “stuff” when you die” syndrome.

I"m always looking for Savage Model 99's. Pretty much hoping to find a drilled and tapped EG in 250-3000. I'm also looking to put together a pistol length AR as a truck gun.

I am tempted to sell a bunch of rifles and replace them with a 22-250 Fieldcraft and the new 280AI Fieldcraft to be covered for the lower 48 and go on a really nice guided hunt somewhere with the extra money!

I picked up a custom Manlicher from the smith at the end of the season so it will be a new gun to me to hunt with. It's a 6.5X55 and I haven't even had the chance to break it in yet. Also a Rem 700 classic in 250 Savage will make it's deer hunting debut. Last season I hunted with 6 different rifles.

I got a Ruger 77 Hawkeye .338 WM the wife got me, but that's for bear hunting, and I won't be doing that again until 2020. I did pickup a Savage 99E .243 while home on R&R two weeks ago. I may take it on a blacktail hunt soon, or whitetail if I can get back to visit my mom during deer season in AR.

Not likely. Like some others here, I've got several "deer" rifles that have never seen the woods. Rifles just happen sometimes, but if I stay off GB and out of gunshops, they don't happen as often.

I just turned 67, and can see the end of my deer hunting at some point in the not-too-distant future, at least the way I do it now, by myself on public land. I got out a good bit last season and killed a couple, but with my new crossbow, not a rifle. Having meat in hand (!), I passed up a few does hoping for a nice buck, but none showed, and by the time I decided to go brown and down, nothing more showed.

I may buy at least one more in the next couple of years, but for my grandson, who's almost 10, and killed his first last season with the little rifle I set up for him, a Mini 7.62x39. He might get one of the current pack, but most of those are pretty big and heavy for a kid, and he ain't getting the Fieldcraft just yet!

I've just been informed that there's a new sense of urgency to this project. I'm gonna be a Grampa again. Might have to look for another 99 in .243. Really liked the one I picked up last year for my other grand daughter.

Also have decided on an Extreme Weather in 308. Having a purge at my place too. I’ve finally figured out what I like!! (Well, till next week anyways....)

If I were to get one I’d go with a model 70 FW in 7-08 but am like many others and have rifles I haven’t even broken in yet and have been selling more than buying.

Done buying and selling rifles....last one I’ll own is the M70 FWT 270 Win I have. If I want a change I’ll shoot my wife’s Sako 85 Finnlight 7-08. I could the funds I’ll save towards hunting trips....

I add new rifles to my repertoire every year, but I keep reaching for the old stalwarts when crunch time rolls around. This year a new Dakota 10 will be added before the season rolls around so I may break with tradition. (If the semi-custom single shot gets delivered in time.)

You can love your guns but they can't love you back. After death, everything you own will belong to someone else or end up at the landfill. For these reasons, I contain my desires to buy more hunting gear although it's not always easy.

I've got an old 1966 made Model 70 push feed that I bought in August or September of 1966, can't remember exactly when. I've been hunting with it ever since. It's killed around 70-75 deer, can't remember exactly, but I've killed over 40 with it myself. Last year, 2017, I killed a nice buck with it. It's my go to hunting rifle. It's a .270 Win. I'm sort of a collector of various rifles in various cartridges. I've got everything from 22-250, up through 250 Savage, .280 Rem., 06, a couple of magnums and even a 9.3x62. But when it comes to whitetail deer, in my opinion, I believe the .270 is one of the best. No, there's not 4011 different bullets for it and No it hasn't won Camp Perry, and NO I won't use it for dangerous game in Africa, but for White Tail Deer, it really has no peer. With 130 Grain SGKs or Nosler BTs it's wicked on deer, oh and hogs. Did I mention hogs?

It doesn't have the aesthetics or charisma of a pre 64, but it's a very practical rifle. And it works.

I don't remember if I answered this thread about what I'll get this year, but just in case, I am about through with my Charles Daly Zastava, Commercial 98 chambered in 7x57. A word to the wise, if you have a project or ongoing build don't finish the stock until last. I had a nice hand rubbed oil finish on the stock. But through my ridiculous impatience and trying to get ahead of the game and did the stock while waiting on my gunsmith to barrel the action. I had more fitting to do with the stock and barreled action than I had anticipated and now i need to refinish the stock. Of course it's not going to be like starting over. The pours of the wood are filled and it will consist of mostly surface finishing, but it was so nice and now it's ...well rough. Very short sighted and stupid of me. Oh well, at least I'm getting plenty of practice at finishing stocks.

I found a couple of 99’s made in 56. One is a 358 and the other a 243 to go with the 308 I bought from Fireball2. He said 99’s were addicting. He was correct. They are fun to shoot. I have scopes, mounts, brass, bullets. I got to make time to get them ready for hunting season. I’ve never fired a 358 or a 243 in my life. I never thought I would own a 243.

After recuperating from a financial butt hurt, I am just now settling in to a new to me 1980 Mod 700 classic in .270 Winchester. I just wanted another Classic, I would have taken any standard caliber as I wanted to rebuild my 35 WAI. I shot the classic and it did so well decided to keep it as is. I have a CDL stock and my old 35 WAI ( formerly a Classic 35 Whelen barrel/reamed out to the Ackley) I finally found an affordable donor Mod 700 BDL to rob the action off of. I'll have it together ( well, I "won't", my smith friend will do it!) in a couple months. I have a long history with the 35 WAI and I look forward to using it again. I'm also looking forward to playing with this .270 as, while I've owned many through the years, I never killed any game with one. Well, I finished off my Godson's Spanish Goat he shot, and a jackrabbit, but that's it. smile

The 243 is a great caliber, I've had at least one for longer than I care to remember and have taken a truck load of white tail, muley's and antelope with one using nothing other than the 100gr Nosler Partition. The 358 is another excellent cartridge, with Sierra 225's it's the hammer of Thor on deer and makes a nice woods rifle for either deer or elk. I think you'll enjoy both.

Nope, all done buying new ones. Over the years I always started with a good enough rifle then proceeded to fix it. Early example was my '62 do all M700 BDL 7mm RM. First it got its action blueprinted, barrel turned down to a #1 taper and recrowned, hard chrome plated and bead blasted and the springs and internals nickle plated and the trigger reworked. Next year it went in for a Kevlar stock and full camo paint job. The next year the 2.5-8x36 Leupold got moved to my 10/22 and a Swarovski 30mm 2.5-10x42 PH went on it. All done now at 7# total and a rather outstanding mountain rifle it is. My Mkll Ruger 7mm-08 use to be a .308, but that got fixed too. The back up 99F .300 Savage is in right now for a trigger job. And our deer season is only one buck and 9 days long. Why keep buying new ones when what you've got works?

New one? I’m oogling a Tikka T3 superlite 6.5 Creedmoor. If I don’t get it time I’ll run my 280AI again or current 6.5. Just want something under 8.5-9 lbs for still hunting. Not hard hunting with a 9+ pound rifle just seems to add up when you add it to a 200 lbs. deer that you’re dragging. After that I’ll trim the heard some for a 35 Whelen build.

Presafety Marlin 444s if I run across one in really good condition.
North haven marlin xs7 in .308 in really good condition also.

Also got an eye on a really pristine BRNO mauser in .308 for 450 at a local pawn shop.
Someone did an excellent job on it.
Was kinda impressed with it actually.
But I also think I dont "need" another mauser.
But "want" is another matter.

Hanco, I'm building 3. A 99 Savage 30-30 Mannlicher, a 338-06 on a G33-40 action and a 250Savage on a Rem SA. Doing some of the work myself and farming some out. I think all 3 will be finished by the time season comes. powdr

Got a new/used 58 caliber Hawken. Shoots good with first load I tried and will spend time plinking and getting to know it the rest of this year before hunting gets going. Did the long range stuff a while and enjoy/enjoyed it, but wanting to mix things up again.

Buying (and selling) guns seems to be a constant state of affairs for me; I'm always thinking of something different that I haven't tried yet. So, I will almost certainly have another rifle in the cabinet by next fall and some now in the cabinet will be gone. As hobbies go, it's less expensive than collecting automobiles and safer than chasing women.

That little bugger is just about dandy as-is for hunting. Shoots really really well too- well under 2MOA with issue iron sights.

I just bought back a Ruger MkII stainless skeleton stock 30-06 I'd sold a couple of years ago. Started out just buying the stock that was advertised and then the guy said, aren't you the guy I bought this from. I said, yeah your name sounds familiar. He said you want to buy the whole thing? Bingo!!! Yep.

Plus I just ran across a Reminton 660 in 308 her on the classifieds. Thrilled to get it. Nice looking rifle and in good shape.

my bucket list is a colt sauer. Wanted once since I was a kid. Just don't see the need in it really.

Rebarreling 243 to 6.5x47L unless I get talked into the creedmoor reamer. I would be smarter to do it that way since I won't be around all that much to load the wifes hunting ammo and such, but I'm a sucker for different rounds.... we will see what reamers arrive in a care package to my gunsmith. Lucky I have not ordered dies or brass yet but the shilen SS match barrel is ready for me to put on the lathe.

More important right now to strip the 458 win mag and have it salt bath nitride coated before I leave for AK.

picked up two .223s recently, a montana and a salvage LWH (cheap). seeing as how the largest game i perforate are whitetails, the cartridge and these platforms are making a lot of sense to me. lightweight, accurate, easy to shoot, cheap ammo, easy to reload ... wondering why ive made it harder on myself than it needs to be for so long.

Any plan I might make now for myself is subject to change up to opening day anyway.

Kiddo 1 is old enough for the youth hunt this coming fall. Much more concerned about getting her comfortable. It'll either be a Win 70 Ranger youth 223Rem that someone before me shortened even further, or, I'll shorten the spare Kimber 84 wood stock I've got and swap the 223 Montana barreled action in. Shots will be close (50-100yds) from an elevated/enclosed blind over crops or a food plot.

While I have three I am fooling with (.308 GSR, M70 .300 WBY, 1894 Swede Carbine-6.5x55) I will be using my usual deer and elk rifles if I draw tags. Only exception is a rifled shotgun.

My partner and I bought Savage 220, 20 ga bolt action compact fully rifled shotguns for next doe season. I added a Leupold 3-9x40. We began hunting a more open ranch a few years ago and wanted to see if these were better at 175 yards than our pumps. Looks good so far. I took it to the range last Sunday and got it roughly zeroed at 3.5" high at 100 yards. Two inch wide by 1/2 inch tall group. It was windy though so I will try it again next week.

Bringing the wife on her first big game hunt this fall. We're heading to South Carolina with our local SCI chapter for a whitetail hunt with Collins Low Country. I've my eyes peeled for a 243 or 6.5cm for her. We shall see what pops up in the local shops in the coming month or two.

No. I hunt with my 30-30 carbine every year and it has always done the job for me. I'd rather spend my money on out-of-state hunts rather than new rifles or gear. Plans for 2019 include a mule deer hunt in western South Dakota within the vast Black Hills Nat'l Forest.

Yeah, back in November when I went out to visit my sons in Missouri, I took one rifle, one shotgun, and one revolver. No wasted time, no decisions to make. It was very liberating.

Would love too but the safe is literally FULL. Told this to my wife and her reply was "well we should buy an other.safe then." *face palm* she's definitely encouraging the gun buying problem lol. With that said I am trying to figure out what stock i want to use to get my old 700 .270 up and running. Glass bed factory stock or try hogue?

I need a Walmart caliber rifle. I have several rifles and all but one I can’t go to Walmart and buy ammo for them. I guess that why I buy reloading dies. My 6.5 Creedmoor I have started to see that ammo at Walmart.

I would never get one if not for what Iowa dictates is legal for its centerfire deer seasons and that’s a rifle in the new .350 Legend to hopefully use next fall. So far only Winchester lists a rifle for it — the various XPR models but I expect others incl AR’s makers will offer it.

I have a .358W project in the works. R700SA, 18.5" bbl. rebored and bobbed by JES. Detachable mag. Plan is to install a 1x4 leupy heavy duplex matte on QD mounts. Waiting on a mannlicher stock, and end cap from NECG. Then I'll wring it out.
