FJ it's a rifle inherited from my great uncle and my father. Pre 64(the original good ones) Winchester Mod 70 .243 featherweight with 3x9 Leoupold. Sweet little 3/4 inch groups at 100yds always set 2 inches high at that range. Nosler 95 grn partitions at 3250 avg fps.....SWEET! For deer ..if I can put antlers on them its poison....plus I don't have to visit the chiropracter after every time I shoot the thing.

Haven't used it but once on elk...in fact the only time I've been elk hunting. Never fired a round. Wouldn't have either unless it was an under two hundred yard shot...that I knew would do the job. That trip was my one and only as I found myself to be the only guy in the bushes with the elk and every brothers mother had there scopes on us! eek

Haven't hunted deer the past three years as the last one bent my back so bad I was a crip for 3 months. Not to brag but I'm lookin at the 6x5 rack right now. I'd go if I could find a reliable huntin partner to help me pack the dam things out of the bushes.

Only hunting I do lately id waterfowl and a little roadchicken.
