I'll be using my trusty Ruger Mk II all-weather .300 Win Mag that has taken five (nice) whitetails, a so-so muley, two elk and a black bear in the 15 years I've had it. This isn't counting the dozen or so doe. NOT ONE animal has went over 10 yards and yes, it has messed up some shoulder meat. First trip to the range (many years ago) it shot a cloverleaf, 3-shot, 1/2" group at 100 yards and hasn't changed a bit. Until I put a new scope on this year I never had to touch the scope settings in 15 years. Not many can say that. (I check it every year though).....

Same exact story with my Model 94..honest to God:) But I haven't changed out that Old Bushnell fixed 4X that I put on 20yrs ago..still dead on to this day at a 100yds.
 
Been there, did that.

Deer on the left was taken 11-15-10 with a Mosin Nagant '43 Tula 91/30 and a S&B 180 gr. Sp

Deer on the right was taken 11-16-10 with an NEF Handi Rifle in 45-70 and my handload of a Rem. 405 JSP @ 1350 fps.

Both were 1 shot affairs. Best of luck in your pursuits.

My rifle will be my Colt Lite rifle in 30/06 and my revolver will be a .41 Mag. S&W model 57. If close (within my confirmed pistol range of 50 yards or less) I'll use the revolver. If further than my pistol range the rifle will be my tool of choice.
 
Should Have left the Rifle Home

Let's see, my season is over, what did I use? Thermos, Knapsack, Turkey Seat, Binoculars, Marbles Ideal Knife, digital camera, GPS, Shooting stick (doubled as a walking stick), Silva Ranger Compass, Topo Map, Goggle Earth Aerial Images, assorted other items; Should Have left the rifle home because I struck out. Oh Well better luck next year.
