Bolt Action? Shotgun? Lever Action? AR-15? Pick your poison.

My daughter is using her new 700 SPS bolt action in .243 and I am using an old 12 gauge side by side. If I get a wild hair I might pack around the old .250 Savage lever action.

Bolt action all I own

wreckerman5357 · « **Reply #3 on:** September 30, 2011, 09:50:09 PM »

I have hunted almost exclusively with bolt guns. I have spent a little time with an old Remington 740 autloader in .30-06, but mostly My Remington 721 in .270 and my Howa '06.

I was recently given my grandpa's Winchester Model 64 in .32 Special and would like to take a deer with it someday. It was his dad's and I would be the fourth generation to hunt with it. Perhaps if I draw a doe tag next year I will use it.

Only gun I have suitable for deer hunting is bolt action. .30-06...though technically my 9mm handgun is legal for hunting deer.

PolarBear · « **Reply #7 on:** September 30, 2011, 11:32:26 PM »

Now that's an idea! Forget the shotgun, this years goal is to get a buck with my .357!

Sea3006 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 02, 2011, 10:24:14 AM »

none of the above, will use this

olywa · « **Reply #9 on:** October 03, 2011, 08:31:47 PM »

Yup, Rem 760 in 308. Or maybe my Ruger No. 1 in 45-70. Choices... choices...

My daughter will be using a Thompson Encore in 243.

Kola16 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 03, 2011, 08:53:33 PM »

Caseyd · « **Reply #13 on:** October 03, 2011, 09:15:47 PM »

Bolt gun, not sure what caliber yet. Probably take a couple and choose at the last minute.

I hunted as a boy with my fathers .32 Winchester Special. What a fun lever action rifle.

Except that LB will be using a 7mm rem mag, A-bolt with a muzzle BRAKE.
It's nice having a deer already in the freezer...

My nephew will be using a model 88 winchester .308 to tag his deer that i get to play guide for..

Thank God we don't have to pick just one. I celebrate diversity of arms.
