My 243 will see the field in my girlfriends hands again. If my dad decided he wants to get out ill use my 300 rum for that one. Makes it easier on him to sit and be able to shoot to most of the farm. My deer will both fall to my pse again. (One already has)

The one I use most often is a Remington model 600 in .308 that my Dad bought me for my birthday in 1965. I've reloaded for it since '66 and I scoped it in 1967. Great for the brush here in SW Washington. This year I'll be trying a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 that I bought 5 years back.

I shoot a Winchester model 70 featherweight in .270. It is topped with a Leupold Vari X II in 3x9. I have shot a good amount of deer with it as well as an elk. Love it!

I use my Ruger M77 Mark ll with a Leupold VX-2 3x9 for deer and pretty much everything else I hunt. Mine is a stainless barrel with a composite skeleton stock. I originally bought it in Alaska for a boat gun as the deer hunting there is on islands surrounded by salt water, so you tend to get a lot of corrosion on your guns if you're not careful. While you can still get corrosion on a stainless barrel, it's much more forgiving than blued steel. The skeleton stock helps keep the weight down climbing the mountains from sea level. While I bought this gun as a beat around boat gun, it soon became my favorite gun when combined with Federal Premium bullets using a 165 gr. sp-bt. I've taken a hog, too many deer to count, a couple elk and a couple moose with that combination. Most have been one shot kills. In fact, I can't remember the last animal that required a follow up shot with that gun. It was accurate right out of the box. First time I took it hunting, I shot the heads off of 4 grouse and fell in love with it. I've thought about getting a new gun over the years, but then I think, I have something that works, so why change.
My only other deer rifle is my Lyman Deerstalker .50 cal muzzle loader. Just a plain Jane carbine that sure is fun to shoot. The only change I've made to it over the years was to add fiber optic sights as my eyes are getting old. I see they come with those now. I'll be using it in Idaho this year for a combo Whitetail/Elk hunt. Can't wait to get started!
Holy smokes! Was just looking online at the Lyman Deerstalkers and they are now $525, new. I bought mine at Sunbirds in Chehalis in the late 80s for under $100, new.
