danthehuntinman Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I either hunt with my t/c encore prohunter 300 win mag. or I have a Ruger m77 mark II 260 rem. It all depends where I'm hunting at for which gun I take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTimeBagley Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I use a Weatheryby Mark V Accumark in .257 Weatherby Mag. I bought it a couple of years ago and I have never shot a whitetail that did not fall over in its tracks (5 deer). Also, every so often I pull out my Winchester 94 .30-30 if I'm in the hardwoods. The .30-30 was the first gun I ever owned. My dad gave my brother and I a pair of them for our Christmas present back when we were 18. Shoot straight & stay safe, HTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadeocu Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I use a Savage 14 in American Classic chambered in 250 Savage. I have an older 2-7x33 Redfield Wide View Scope on it and it shoots one hole five shot groups at 100 yards with 100 gr. Winchester Silver-tips. I have a similar deer rifle that I love. A Ruger M77 in 250-3000 with one of the new Redfield Revolution 2-7x33s on it. You and I have similar views on matters it appears. I also have a Paul Jaeger 30-06 with a Kahles 2-7x36 that I love just as dearly. The M77 has a shortened stock (3/4 of an inch) and a muzzle break that can be screwed off and replaced with a cuff; it is set up as a youth gun. The trigger and safety were also customized by a Paul Jaeger gunsmith back in the 80s. It was a gift to me from my dad and was my first deer rifle. I killed two deer with it last year for the first time in 20 years. I had forgotten how much I love it. I hope to have my sons kill their first deer with it. Great gun you have there! Sounds like you can shoot it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country gal Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 What's everybody use for a deer rifle? Those sound like excellent choices. When I first started hunting, I was using a Savage .243 bolt action rifle. Now I'm too far into archery to turn back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
