I hunt with this:

...or this:

...or this:

Don't matter which way 'cause it's all the same rifle ,
Once you shoot an Enfield , the rest are just guns...

 

[todbartell]

my Ti 260 is scopeless now, but I'm still shooting a 260, now my custom Gaillard 700. 125 grain Nosler Partitions @ 2900 fps

 

[Remington788]

Using a Remington 788 in .308 WIN with 150gr Remington Core-Lokts...work great, no deer has ever gone more than 10 yards after being hit.

Ya like we couldn't have guessed what you were using

 

[Boomer454]

I have a Marlin 1894 in .44 Rem Mag that I have been dying to try on a white tail. I just put a Bushnell Trophy Red dot scope on it, and it shoots into about 2" at 100 yards. This is really the max range for this gun/load as it gets to be kind of like a rainbow after that...
Load is a 240 gr. XTP loaded at close to max...
This looks like the year to finally try it out...

 

[gofish247]

I'll be taking my Savage 340C 30-30.

 

[dnkosh]

I will be baptising my Savage Model 111, topped with a Bushnell 3x9, in .270 Win. and using Hornady SST Interlocks in 130 gr.

 

[eric2381]

My Browning 7mm rem mag. I have a favorite load of 175 gr. Hornady Interlocks that I really like. Not super fast, so as not too damage alot of meat, but it really knocks them down. Gonna shoot my moose with my Marlin 45-70 just to say I killed something with my heavy reloads. Should put it down quickly....

This Year 2007 Deer Hunting Guns

I am going to hunt with my Remington 700 BDL in 7mm08.
My backup guns are a Ruger No1 7 X 57, Sako IV 270 Mannlicher.

Leave for the camp today and by the time I get there I will be too wiped out to hunt the first day. Only go for the food and the fun, a great bunch of guys. Three generations hunt from that camp and the 19 year old Ryan is a crack shot with whatever gun you hand him.

 

[harv3589]

Using my Sako 85 30-06 topped off with a Leupold FXIII 6x42 shooting 180gr partitions...

 

[dizzy dan 1]

I am going to try my Brwn. A bolt in 25 wssm. With my Ruger Compact in 260 as back up. DAN>>>

 

[catnthehatt]

Whatever is at hand at the time.
Going South on Monday morning to still hunt some whiteltails and maybe surprise an elk in a bow zone with a buddy, I'll be using my flat bow there.
I really want to put a muley down with my 9.3X74R, but we'll see.

Savage 99 in .300 Savage with iron sights. I must be poor.

 

[PeterPan]

Deer rifle, hmm
IMO should be light and got some type of optics if we hunt over 100yr.
I think my Rem 700 BDL DM in .30-06 with B&L 4000 1.5-6x32 qualify for this.

 

[catdoo]

I'll be taking my good ole 1894 marlin in .44 mag, this year I'll be shooting
250 gr Whinchester platnium tips, they should do the trick....

 

[Fred M]

375 Winchester, in a Model 94 Big Bore loaded with 220 grain Hornady bullets (handloads) for the bush, 270 Winchester, factory 140 grain in a Savage bolt action for the open fields.

I have a Ruger#3 in 375 Win it shoots bug holes with the 200gr Win Factory load. I have loaded some 225gr Hornady SP but they shoot very poorly. Do you need to crimp the bullets? I used 4198, H322, and H110 the two last ones I have not tried yet.

The rifle has a very long throat.
