Remington model 760 game master in .30-06 (pump action) made in the 70’s
Nikon 3x9x40 scope
I have the scope elivated with see threw mounts allowing the use of the iron sights.
For when the rain is really coming down. Missed out on more than one Blacktail buck because I couldn’t use the scope in the heavy rain and had no access to the iron sights. What a helpless feeling that I hope none of You ever have to experience.
It’s a great little gun and very light weight. Belonged to My grandfather before Me.
Kicks harder than you would expect and has a very loud report due to short barrel.
It’s good to about 200 yards in My hands but I have taken one black tail spike at just over 300 yards in a wide open clear cut.
I also have a browning xbolt in .30-06, Nikon scope 3x9x40.
Incredible groups and has no problem hitting the mark at longer distances.
Super light weight gun. It comes with Me on a clear day or if I expect a long shot to be required.
This year I have opted to use My T/C 50 cal Black diamond XR. Inline muzzle loader during modern season. Fiber optic open sights. 100gr of triple 7 300gr hornaday copper jacketed hollow point in a T/C sabot. It’s accurate to 200 yards + but I expect to keep it under 100 for thick country Blacktail deer.
I have yet to harvest an animal with a muzzle loader so I decided on it this year.
