Going to carry my 357 Max Contender, 10 inch barrel, scoped pushing the Hornady 180gr XTP to a moderate 1700 fps or so.
And AR chambered in 350 legend pushing a cast 180 grain Flat nosed cast bullet to around 2000fps
An Encore 50 caliber Muzzleloader Using Shooters world Black, 90 grains under a 270 grain Speer .429 Unicor.
As usual there is always the possibility of using a shotgun of some sort for special applications

Guess I won't be getting any deer this year . Big Stick says unless I have a 6mm CM with a bullet with a BC of .620, that I won't be able to handle the recoil, I'll go deaf from the noise, the terminal effects will be poor, and the inferior flight characteristics will totally eliminate any fun to be had. Wish I had known all this 65 years ago. It would have been spared a lifetime of grief and misery in the woods!

A Ruger Ranch 7.62x39 may get a chance with my grandson.

My first choice rifle this year will likely be a Custom rifle by PO Ackley in 7X57 built on a Husqvarna action. It has an old Bear Cub 4X scope on that I will change out to a modern scope. I plan on hunting with it this year then putting the original scope back on it, before I stick it away in the safe so my sons can find it after I'm gone...

My deer rifle for the year wil be the same as last year, a Winchester SX4 12 gauge shotgun. (Gotta love eastern Va and all the shotgun-only counties). If I go a little further west, I'll probably use a Browning BLR .308 or a Winchester FW .308.

1981 Winchester 70 xtr in .308 for deer/ hogs ( redneck perfected it)
Glock 22 for early morning hog run ins pre sunrise( better than coffee to wake you up).
Memento mori ( remember you must die) enjoy every day for tomorrow you may not wake
You can always borrow and pay the money back but you can never get the time back
Everyone hunter should own a fine rifle, life is short.

Tikka T3x Lite Stainless 6.5 Creedmoor, 22.5" barrel (this forum largely talked me into one heh!) or a Ruger Hawkeye All Weather in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 26" barrel. If I keep that one I think I'll cut it to 22.5".
Boxerdog, that sounds like a very nice Winchester! *Almost* went with an XTR in 308 not long ago. Prolly should have but I'm on a stainless kick right now.

Who knows! Deer season is two months away, but a 7mm-08, a 243, and a 44 magnum will be involved.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
