Remmy 870 Express Mag. 12 gauge with a .45LC on the hip.

Browning A-bolt .300 wsm

I won a .300 Wby Mag Ultralight S/S at a banquet.
I put a Swarovski 3-10 on it.
It's been a great gun taking many animals from Blacktails to Kodiak Brown Bear.
In reality though, if I were just a deer hunter I think anything in the .270 win category is just fine.
I love to Bowhunt too!
I shoot a Bowtech Allegiance.

i shoot a 30-378 weatherby or a 243 when im deer hunting with some else but still thinking of getting a 325 wsm

Last year I bought a .243 WSSM to hunt deer with.
The year before that I shot a Swedish 6.5x55 that I sporterized.
Year before that was .30-06 AI that I built from Mauser 98 Action.
Year before that was Savage 110 in .270.
Year before that was Contender in 7x30 Waters.
I have lots of years to go back but will quit there.

I am not sure for next year. If I get a doe tag, I may try a Freedom Arms revolver in .41 mag.

Only hunting I do anymore is Coyotes and Sage Rats, and I use 5.56 Nato/.223 Remington...

...Olympic Arms K8

Winchester Model 70 chambered in .264 Winchester Magnum. It's well over 20 years old and still in minty condition.
It's a BOOMER!




Then for the two-legged variety, a Mossberg Model 590 Military.

i also shoot a model 70 .264 luv it

For the venison, a Sako Finnbear in 270 Win. The rockchucks get the attention of a 222 Remington Magnum in a Sako Vixen, the L461 action. All old hardware. Early 60s vintage.

I shoot a mod 700 bdl in 30.06 and use the Hornady Light Magnums in 165 grain. Besides my muzzle loader and shotguns it's my only rifle. To date it has taken 8 deer,2 caribou and 3 elk.

BAR 30-06

AK-47

Actually, 7.62x39 Soviet is a really good deer round, especially in dense timber or where you aren't looking at shots beyond 200 yards.

Just remember to use soft point ammo and a 5 rnd mag.

The rifle Ive been carrying more is a 6.5mm Swede mauser. Its a real tack driver.

More than one deer has been taken with my SKS. That 7.62x39 is a sleeper round.

For deer i stick with my faithful .243
Elk and bear i use a .300 weatherby magnum

I have not shot big game (Eastern Wa.WhiteTail) in over 15 years, just upland bird hunting, and so I had let all of my rifles go. A Ruger No. 1A Lt/Wt sporter in .270win, a Ruger M-77 RSI in .243 to a close friend, a Ruger M-77 RL in .250-3000, and a Win Mod 70 / .270 to the kids, and wham no big guns in the safe. So I've started a project gun to back-fill the safe...

Base gun - Benelli 20gage Montefletro SemiAuto
Scope - 2x7 Leupold VX-II
Mount - Remington Canti-Lever Rib Mount
Bullits - Federal Premium 3in mag sabot's

She's on the paper nicely at a hundred yards, and we will be tweaking her in over the next week or two at the range. So far so good...

My dad bought me a Remington 30.06 when I was 17 & I've used it to kill tons of deer & elk. Now some 25 years later I just got a Tikka .300wsm for the fun of it. I'll be doing some killing this year to break it in.
