Guest bronco_mudder Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Re: Which Would You Take??........................ Well you say combination of rifles, for me it'd be easy. I'd take the .270 bolt, if your going to be hunting in a situation for longer or more open shots it would be perfect. And the .35 Rem lever, for situations when you are brush hunting this is a great rig for that type of hunting. Personally I don't have any experience hunting deer with shotguns, and don't really care for auto loaders for hunting, but thats just me, and also the reason why I wouldn't take them. More importantly you likely have a better idea of what type of shots will present themselves to you during the hunt, so I would say take the firearms that you shoot best that will match the type of shots expected.

tedicast Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Re: Which Would You Take??............................ I would take what ever gun you are most confident with. They all will kill a deer deader then dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagobbln Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Re: Which Would You Take??............................ What county are you hunting in VA? I hunt alot in Halifax Co. which is a shotgun only county. I guess there are others. That certainly narrows your choices if you can't use a rifle! I will agree, at least around my area, you don't get many long shots. My slug gun (rifled barrel/scoped) is good out to about 150 yards, so it's not much of a compromise and a heckofa chunk of lead to throw at a deer.

AJ Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Re: Which Would You Take??............................ I would take the 308 Handi Rifle and a 12 ga. Depending on what counties you are hunting, you may be in a shotgun only area. If you wanted to add some squirrel or waterfowl you would be set.

beagleboy Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Re: Which Would You Take??............................ the .270 and the slug gun this way you are prepared for the long field shots and the shotgun for the woodlands.

hutchies Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Re: Which Would You Take??............................ .270 and 243 autoloader. If you are on a drive or hunting with dogs you need to be able to take a quick shot with a quick reload. The .270 would be for sitting and the .243 autoloader would be for driving or dogs.
