Your Deer Rifle,what are you taking?

Winchester 70 in .375 H+H with 300gr soft points. Excessive, yes! I have a better scope on my .375 than I do on my .308, and we had the option of shooting moose too.
 
CG63 in 308 firing 150 nosler BT handloads for the open country. my 1898 Krag Jorgensen carbine in .30 US Army for the bush loaded with 220s. cuts down trees and hits like a train.
 
i will be taking a parker hale safari 30-06 with handloaded 130's, i picked it up a few years back from a pawnshop in P.A., it was beat to hell. i refinished the whole thing and after a good barrell scrub it shoots awesome.:D

Normally a Sako 75 in 300WM but I just picked up a Sako AIII in 308 Win that might go instead. :) Decisions, decisions... Both have Bushnell Elite 3-9x40's.

you have excellent taste! mine's an AV in .270Win
 
Well I have lots to pick from........from a Sako AV 7 Rem Mag, a Tikka M65 Deluxe 30-06, stainless 700's in 300 Winny,25-06 and 350 Rem Mag, and a couple more that I can't recall right now......but the only rifle that's made it out to the truck this year is a 700 Titanium in 7-08 with a 2.5-8X Leupold on top....at 6lbs 12oz with 4 rounds and a sling it's such a joy to carry I can't see carrying anything else...I have plans for a similiar lightweight rig in 338-06.....
 
Stainless stalker in 300RUM. Major overkill but i can't put this gun down. 180gr nosler partitions at 3375fps and really straight. YIKES! working on filling my browning arsenal now, need a BLR in 308.
 
This year I took a Sako L61R Finnbear in .300 Winchester Magnum, loaded with 180-grain Nosler Accubonds pushed by 77.5 grains of Vihtavuori N560 to a chronographed muzzle velocity of 3,060 out of a 22.5 inch barrel.

You would not believe the damage this combo did to a Muley from 250 yards (lasered) down and across a deep canyon. It packs a serious punch and would also be well suited to elk or moose.
 
This year, it's the Win70 Featherweight in 6.5x55 SE (140 grain partition at a civilized 2650 fps) for deer.

I'm leaning towards the Win70 Safari in .375 H&H if I get drawn for anything interesting and delicious.
 
I'll be carrying my Kimber 308 again this year, it goes less than 7 lbs loaded and scoped and everything I've shot with it over the last three years has dropped like a stone except on estupid mulie doe that I shot through the lungs, she looked back at me and walked away straight into a tree and then fell over.
 
Savage Super Sporter in 250 for the Muley Draw, topped with a early K2.5 in a Griffin & Howe mount. Likely use 117gr Hornady round nose or a 100gr Hornady spire point.

Remmington model 14 in 25 Remington for whitetail at home I hope, 117gr Hornady RN doing 2340.

And for the larger Deer (Elk) it will be the 1898 Krag in 30 USG. Hornady 220gr Rn doing 2160.

Should be an entertaining fall.
