He mentioned this year, prior to the hunt, that marked the 100th year for the rifle (DOM 1919). We elected to hunt our PA farm the second week of the season so we could shoot either antlered (3 pts up on a side) or antlerless, The first day he dropped a nice doe - bang/flop. On our last day he snuck up on this big boy and again bang/flop. The rifle is a bit of an enigma as, despite it's age, shoots 100 soft points and silver tips with amazing accuracy. Me? I managed to shoot the smallest deer on the farm (again). Also picked up a nice 23B at the local gun shop. Will post later. Last edited by Keystone 250; 12/20/19. Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

I assume from your screen name you are in the northeast part of the state. We are in the northwest, surrounded by ethanol farmers - loads of deer Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

As much as I like the .22HP, and as much as I adore the .303/.30-30, if forced to pick but one Savage to hunt with I would probably grab a .250. Nicely done, fellas. Envious of y'all. I wish my Dad and I had brought deer home on the same trip, but it was always either him or me to get one never both of us. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think."
