T/C Encore with either a .300 win mag bull barrel shooting 180 grain accubonds or a .280 Rem barrel shooting 139 grain Hornady GMX's if I decide to go with the lightweight setup.
This weekend hopefully the. 280 will get a workout in the high country.

Well, lets see..

my custom 7mm-08 Remington 700 I built with 20" barrel weighs less than 7 lbs. with scope.
my custom .257 Ackley Improved I built on a Howa action.. shoots dime size groups at 200 yards.
my Ruger Redhawk .44 mag, with 240 gr. XTPs
When I am being all nostalgic and miss my dad, I take out his Rem. 760 in .300 Sav. still shoots MOA..
If I think I need something bigger or badder, I grab the elk rifle, Sako in .338 WM.

I have one I want to use this year... .243 wssm in an AR platform.. 


So many to choose from, so few deer to use them for....

I'll be guiding my 2 protégé's this year, so I may not squeeze trigger on a deer. But if I do, I'll use my RBros built 6.5X47 Lapua with NF 5.5-22 and Gemtec can.
All this to sling 129 Hornady Interbonds.
