This has been really cool, everybody checks in with their pick!!!!!I just want to say thanks to you all.As I read these replies I can't help but to think about the men and women of the armed forces that have sacrifice so much for us.. And this year before I load my deer rifle, I'll say a little prayer for all the soldiers, past and present. Thanks man and have the best deer season ever!!!!!

In post #79 of this thread

I talked about a new load for my .270 WSM.

But I will also get out my Lefty 7X57 Mauser. I recently found a little hole-in-the-wall gun shop that had 2 boxes of Nosler Partitions in 7X57 for only $24.50 a box!! A good price, nowadays, for Rem Core Lokts, or Win "Super X", much less for premium bullets. So I bought both boxes, zeroed the 7X57, and looking forward to deer and/or hog targets.

Then there is my Win Model 70 "Short Action Carbine", in .243. Pencil thin, 20 inch barrel, slender fore end on the stock, has a Leupold Vari-X III, 1.75-6X scope. Entire rig weighs only about 6, maybe 6 1/2 pounds. Ideal for "sneaking and peeking" in the close cover of the East Texas Piney woods.

Life is good.

3 guns

Ruger Super Redhawk in 480 Ruger/ Ruger Frontier in 358WIN OR 338 Federal.
The one that gets the nod will be decided the day of the hunt. But it will be a Ruger This year. J.Michael

 

[Johnny Falcon]

Model 94, .30 WCF

 

[10Ringmagic]

Ruger Mini-30 with an XS ghost ring rear sight. Wolf 7.62X39mm 123grn JHP's.

Bowling pin accurate from 75 to 100yds. which is all I will need here in the swamps, and dense forests of northern Michigan.

hunt but no draw...maybe pig hunt N CA

I'm Nevada resident but haven't drawn in 3 years. Need to pig hunt in N CA. Any suggestions? Can do self guided or connect up with someone. Anyone interested?

 

[jammin1237]

going scout this year, i deer hunt in the upper midwest north woods and rarely ever see anything more than a 100 yrd shot... only taking that which i need

 

[HoraceHogsnort]

Ya just flat do not need them big guns to kill deer. A 257 Roberts will get the job done just fine if you're half a decent shot at all.

 

[HoraceHogsnort]

Shastaboat, the best pig hunt'n in the PRC is in Monterey Co. Be prepared to pony up about $500.

 

[musicmatty]

Old faithful

 

[retiredcoasty]

Remington 1100 and an 870. We only hunt with shotguns. The 1100 has a scope. The 870 is open sights for rainy, snowy days.
