The old Remington 721 in 9,3 Mauser... factory PPU.
Laura's 3" Maxus at "The Grocery Store" (stand with constant crossings).
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

S&W 30-06 since I'll be mostly looking for elk. I want to save my deer tag for late BP season.

6.5x55 Fieldcraft. Have a Meopta on it now, but I may get time to swap it out for a Trijicon Accupoint I got last spring.
Norma ammo with a nosler partition this year. Couldn’t find any SST’s to shoot. 😠

I shot a couple of rifles today, M1a and the Ruger GSR. I think I’ll use the GSR.

Debating between a Marlin 336 in 30-30, or my 30-40 Krag.
Need to check how I shoot iron sights this year.
If I can't see them well enough, I'll pull out the Savage 99 in .243.
Like to use the others, just because. The last 2 deer I killed were ~80 yards or less (7 yards). I killed my first buck with a Marlin 336 30-30 with a Williams peep site. I still have it and my son has killed a few deer with it. I hate scopes on lever rifles but I can’t see well enough at dawn/dusk to hunt with irons anymore without limiting myself to 40 yards or so. I put a Williams peep on mine, and an AO front sight with the fine white line up it. Helps a LOT! We'll see if it's enough, this year. Eye Doc said I was "right on schedule for cataract surgery" - I can't tell much difference, though. YET.
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

I will be using a MRC X2 in 7mm08. Unmolested except Barrel shortened from 24 to 22. Shooting Federal
Premium Nosler BT 140s. This rifle set in my safe for a few years as I pouted about it weighing about a lb more than I wanted it to.
Turns out that 22 inch barrel and a little bit of extra weight works great shooting out of a climbing stand with a shooting rail.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Lost my Dad 6/4 of this year. Opening day will find me in his stand with his first year Rem 760 '06 with El cheapo 2-7 scope. I'm going to shoot the first legal deer that walks by. His rifle will then be relegated to the back of the safe to be oiled twice a year until my boys are big enough to use it.
