First deer taken was with Marlin 336 30/30

Last deer taken was with a custom M70 in 6.5 PRC

My first deer was with a sporterized 6.5 Italian Carcano carbine. My most recent rifle is a Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5 Creedmoor. That makes it sound like I mostly shoot 6.5's, but that's not so. I just shot an antelope with my Rem 700 .280 Remington Custom KS Mountain Rifle.

My first deer rifle was a Rem 660 in 6mm Rem. with a 3-9 weaver scope.
My newest deer rifle is a Springfield Waypoint in 6mm creed with a 4-16 Athlon Midas tac scope.
The only thing those two have in common is the bore size and muzzle velocity
How things have changed

1st) Remington 710 in 270 win
Last) Howa 1500 in 6.5 creed

My first deer rifle was a Stevens 310 double barrel 12 gauge. I still have it, killed a buck last year was a Savage 1899 in 32-40.

I had to really think about this. Turns out I haven't killed a deer with a rifle since 2019.
Anyway, first deer- Remington 760 30-06
Last deer- Ruger M77 30-06

First deer Lh Remington 700 .270.
Last with a rifle, Savage 99, 7mm08.
Last deer was Lh Remington 1187 12 gauge slug.

First Deer: my dad’s pre 64 Winchester Model 70 in .243, 5 point, 1989

Last Deer: NULA Model 20 in .250 AI, 9 point, 2022

First deer rifle was a early model Remington 760 30-06 that my parents purchase used from my uncle. This would have been somewhere around 1965 and I think they gave him $75.00 for it.

My latest one, and one I have not hunted yet, is a JC Higgins Model 51 in 30-06 that I purchased a couple of years ago here on the campfire for $550.00. The plan is to use it this year.

First- Marlin 336 .35 Remington
Last- Remington 78 30-06

First- ruger 77 boat paddle 30-06 (not fun to shoot)

Last- stag arms varminter 6.8 spc (very fun to shoot)

Just walked through the door and there's a 243Win Montucky wearing a fhuqking 30mm Reupold Ocular Lit Bitch 50mm upon it,in Dog Schit mounts. Hint.



There's stacks of Mail,so there should be some Reupold BC mounts and if I recall correctly a 6x MQ,Illuminatti and a 1-6x HD MQ LitBitch. I see one parcel that's a barrel for sure and I reckon it to be another 1-8" 7-08 spout. If the weather cooperates,there will be a CA Mesa 7-08 in my mitts his weekend. Hint.

FIRST rifle was a 742 Twat-Six Carbine wearing a Cutt's. 3-9x Reupold and 165 Core-Rocks. Killed a LOT of schit with it,but miss it NONE,though it still exists. Hint...............

My first one was with a Stevens 20ga. double. I still have it as well. My last one was with a Colt Python.
