What's your fav. deer rifle?

I just got a Kimber 84M in 7mm-08 last weekend and I think I'm in love smile My trusty .308 may not send me a Christmas card this year.

Re: What's your fav. deer rifle?

I started with my Papaws Enfield MKIII .303, which is an awesome gun, but for the past 7 years, I have sorta retired it and gone to a Marlin 30-30 lever action.  Its a great gun...not the best for long range, but I have never had to make a shot over 100 yds.  Its very brushy where I live, and the 30-30 is compact, with plenty of punch.

Hey Steve--I'm pretty sure you're the guy who gave me lots of help on turkeys on BYC a while back. We have 10 Bourbon red cuties and they make us laugh every day smile The toms are SO full of themselves!

As for guns, I don't do guns. Bet my husband would have an opinion, though.

Remington R-15 chambered in .223 with a 2.5 x 10 Bushnell on top.
Nice 300 yard gun. It is also fun to plink whistle pigs with. cool

Re: What's your fav. deer rifle?

Im using a savage 30-06 I purchased 20 years ago. It is a GREAT versatile gun, can take anything in North America with it. 30-30's are great brush guns.  I also shoot traditional black powder guns as well. smile
