Deer season in PA is approaching.
Had the 760 .300 Savage out to play. I don't know if there's a better combination out there for still hunting and deer drives.
I've got a new to me .45-70 marlin that will get the first nod this season. But after a tag is filled with that I'll be reaching for the .300 again.

Nice buck! Congrats to your boy! He shoots some big deer. With a Leupold scope and a 270 no less. That combo has been known to work in places outside of the campfire. That combination works on elk too, #B69841xx that I purchase on this site back in 2014.

The 760 and 300 Savage is a dream combo. Hope you can get yours out.

They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Haven't seen anything decent to put in the freezer. Cuz says my lack of success is due to my 760 not having see through rings LMAO

I just checked the zero on my 7600 carbine in 308. I will be using 180 grain sierra's in it. That little rifle just flat amazes me. It is Uber accurate

We have 1 7600 and one Rem 760 ready to head to WI in a few days. I'm pretty fired up. Fresh snow falling for the next 3 days should tell us where they're moving. Hopefully near our stands. But if not I have a few ideas for sneakin and peekin. This weather is perfect though. 25* f, 3-4" of snow, can't get betting IMO.

Follow one up with that 760 and shoot um in his bed like the Benoits!

Yep, I need a guy like tzone sneaking around on a track thinking that he will walk up on one. Then the deer is out of it's bed during daylight and heading for my stand. Bang, thanks. Lots of us think that we are great stand pickers, but in reality the deer that many of us shoot is because the guy two ridges over was late into his stand, or took off for lunch or read the Benoit book and has a 760 and thought that he could do that too in a crowded woods.
My other auto is a .45

First three shots after mounting the Skinner. I bought a few boxes of the Winchester 200 grain stuff. Nudged the sigh to the right a skosh and plopped the next three in the center. Good enough. Got snow coming tonight so I hope to get lucky and get on a buck tomorrow.
