Your 3 gun battery-what is it?

Do SKS's also count? :)

My non-refurbished early 2008 IZH import. She's a straight shooter...

I only mentioned calibre before, but along with my CZ-452, and Rem 870, my SKS is one of my 3. Paired with Hornady SST ammo, it'll feed the family, and keep the coyotes away...

For 3 firearms total it would be:

1) My Marlin Golden 39A .22 rimfire
2) My Browning BPS 12 Gauge
3) My BSA 338-06

For 3 centrefire rifles:

1) My Ruger 77RSI in 250-3000
2) My Browning M1885 in .270 Winchester
3) My BSA in 338-06

So... as a general rule; "If the deer is smaller than the SKS, you are good to go..."

Nice set-up. Did you buy it like that, or did you do it yourself? I want a nice refurb shooter with the exact same set-up.

My setup. MagWedge quick rail. The scope is a Vomz Pilad (Russian made, really good quality for the $$) 1.2-6x - a nice magnification range for hunting. I leave it dialed down to 1.2 when walking around, so it works as an (almost) unlimited eye relief reflex scope, that I can dial for shot placement out to the effective range of the rifle (within 150yards for hunting, maybe 200 on the extreme).

Yes, I am aware that isn't exactly a "trophy" kill, but it was my one chance to break away to go hunting last fall, and it was the second last night we were going to be out. I wasn't going to not fill the freezer. I'd taken a pass on other doe's earlier in the week, but there comes a point where you just take the shot.

FWIW (and there was another CGN'er who can attest to it), it dropped like someone dropped a piano on it. No need to track, it fell into its own shadow.

Wasn't dissing your doe... I'm all for plunking meat deer... I popped a meat doe this fall with my No.1... I was purely making an "SKS funny" for those that enjoy such things... peace and good eatin'...
 
My one gun battery is my Brno 602 in .375 Ultra.

My two gun battery is my CZ 527 in .223 and my Brno ZG-47 in .30/06.

My 3 gun battery is the two gun battery plus my M-70 Express in .458.

My 4 gun battery is the 3 gun battery plus the .375.

My 5 gun battery is the 4 gun battery plus my Unique T Dioptra .22 LR.

Didn't take it too hard. Usually when you cut a jab, it's a shoulder shot between friends, not a kidney shot in the rugby scrum against your arch rivals.

To be honest, until I did it this fall, I wasn't 100% convinced of "SKS for deer" but with the right ammo, it can really do the job.
