If you are so weak that a long action is too heavy, how do you plan to get the animal out of the bush after you shoot it?

For the first time in years my Remmy 760 will sit in the rack so I can try out the Winchester 100 .308 I got off the EE. For blackpowder I'll be using the same old CVA Eclipse that never fails to fill my tag if I do my part.

For deer during the rifle season this year it will be my newish Marlin 1894SS in 44 mag shooting 240gr Hornady XTPs with 23 grains of H110. A Wiliams peep and firesight combo will help me put the lead in the right spot.

My son and I will both be toting .308 chambered rifles this year, in our pursuit of the wily whitetail.
The boy will be using my tried and true Browning A Bolt Micro Medallion, and a Leupold VXII 2-7X Compact scope. I will be carrying my new-to-me steel receivered Browning BLR with it's Leupold VXII 3-9 Compact scope...both of these rifles sport 20" barrels. The jury's still out on a load...I'm working on developing something that shoots reasonably well in both rifles - so we can toss one another a cartridge if necessary.
Jeff.

300 Savage
Just picked up a 300 Savage Model 99. I haven't shot one since I was 16! Brought it home yesterday and put six into a 4 inch spot from 100yards. Not MOA accurate like some folks like but for a deer hunter in the deep woods this is potent medicine! Great gun which should be in production still.
