What was your BEST deer shot with?

[pisces-guy]

Nice heavy bodied 6 X 6 muley buck, Chilliwack Lake area, with my 1956 Husqvarna 1600 in 30.06...

 

[ErikT]

Nice young Whitey buck harvested with a Stainless Savage 16 Weather warrior in 7mm Mag, Swan Hills area of Alberta, on the south slope of a mountain called, quite coincidentally, "Deer Mountain."

 

[Slooshark1]

Browning A-bolt II Composite Stalker in .270 Win. 150 Grain Nosler Partition. I shot him twice at 35 yards. A bolt action was never cycled as fast, ever in history.

 

[fiddler]

30.06 mod 70. 180gr

 

[foxytrapper]

WT back in 1985, scored 196+, with a marlin 336, 30-30.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

For big bucks, I have taken 5 good mulies and 1 whitey, all taken with a 700 in 6MM Rem. I have plenty of other rifles, but my 6MM is unbelievably accurate and until last year, was my primary.

My 280 build is now complete, so hopefully several years from now, I can boast about my successes with it as well.

[KO]

My personal best(which fails in comparison to most here) was a nice fat white tail buck with a mod 70 .30-06. Interestingly enough though, one of my smaller mulie does was taken while looking to fill a moose tag with my Cz 550 .375 H&H, and the same season my moose tag was filled with a .270. The doe fell flat where I hit her and didn't even twitch.Go figure.
KO
