billygoat Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: deer guns My deer rifle is a .270, it's flat and fast and very versatile. I hunted for years w/ a 30-06 and you certainly can't go wrong with that one. A 30-30 is a good gone although I am not a huge fan of the lever action. If you are small in stature, consider a 243, 308, or 6mm (very fast and flat). Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: deer guns I've got a Benelli Nova that I'm slug hunting with for the first time this year. 2 NEF riflles 243 and 25-06 a T/C Scout ML and a Marlin 336 which seems to be the only gun deer seem to want to come out in front of. I'm thinking of moving up to a 270. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Finn Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: deer guns I've hunted with a 270 for about 10 years that I love shooting. Mine is a Browning A-bolt and shoots great. Do agree with BillyGoat above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Daddy Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: deer guns I use a Remington Model 700 in 25-06 that I bought new in 1972. The rifle, 2-7 Redfield scope and mounts cost me $200. I've shot over 30 deer with it over the years. I also sometimes use my Dad's 30-30 or a Winchester model 88 308.

Jeramie Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: deer guns I made the switch from and old Saddle Ring 3030 to a Rem 700, 30-06. Its hard to beat an 06..... I rarely have a shot over 100 yards in this part of NE Oklahoma. I wouldn't worry a bit about taking it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingInMaine Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: deer guns I had been using a 30-06 remington my father gave me (and the only gun I personally own.) But this year I am using my almost brother-in-law's 44 ruger. He is stationed over in Iraq right now and wanted his gun to go hunting since he can't do it personally. I was happy to do this for him because the gun is a much better length and weight for me to carry plus it shoots sweet! Now to talk him into selling it to me!

Guest MarylandQDMA Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: deer guns I use a rem. 12 ga. 870. w/ a hastings fully rifled barrel, with a 4x simons shotgun scope on it. with in the past year though, I use my t/c encore 50 cal. insted. I love that gun! I also picked up a 7mm-08 barrel for the encore this year for hunting out of state (vt.) and in canada for caribou. both barrels for the encore are toped with burris scopes. the 50 has a 3x9x50mm sing. searies. and the 7-08 has a 4x16x50mm black diamon.

Guest 2500HD Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: deer guns No rifles in IL so I shoot the ultimate slug gun. I shoot the H&R Ultra Slugger. You can cover three shots at 120 yrds with a silver dollar. You can drive nails with this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossman Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: deer guns I bought a weatherby .300 mag last year. I wanted an all around gun for deer, elk, etc. I killed be first elk at 300 yards this year. I have not shot at deer with it but I believe it would be great. It is flat and creates alot of KE. I also had a muzzle break put on it so it shoots like a .270!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Re: deer guns I use a Remington 700 30-06 w/Tasco 4x12x50 for plot hunting when I need the extra range, also a Marlin 44mag w/Tasco 3x9x40 when it's time to go deep into the hardwoods and stand hunt.

Strut10 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Re: deer guns Usually use a bow. But I've killed deer with: .30-40 Krag .308 Win. .300 Win. .45-70 Gov't. .44 Mag .221 Rem. I also have a good many "deer capable" guns that have yet to be used in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
