Shot my first few with a Ruger 96/44... carried and handed really nice, but it was about a minute of pie tin rifle, so I moved on to something better pretty quickly.

Model 1917 30-06 that I “sporterized” myself in my early teen years. Weaver K3. I was 23 years old in 1975 when I killed my first deer with the rifle. There weren’t nearly as many deer in Georgia back then. I don’t think every county even had a deer season. The season limit was 2 deer and “doe days” were few. Now the limit is 2 bucks and 10 antlerless and in most of the state every day of the season is either sex.

Ruger M77 in .300wm. I was 13. About a 200 yard shot across a hollow. Middle of a snow storm. It had a weaver 2-7 ish scope. I couldn't find the deer on 7 because it was snowing so hard. Turned it down and leaned against a tree to steady myself. Big doe. She dropped at the shot.

Savage 99 in 250-3000. Shot a nice 8 pt. Went to get it and there stood a 8 pt. Shot it and it dropped. Walked down there and had 2 8 pts. Back when you only got one buck a year. Dad checked the other for me.
