my deer hunting rifle, whats yours?

[BULLBLASTER]

Hammer, you are probly sissy enough to start bleeding from a rifle kicking? With a sissies brake at that?   

[Biggerhammer]

  Do you have a 'sissy stand' (bi-pod) to hold it up and steady?   

Yes, along with target knobs, laser range finder and a iPhone ballistics program for those extremely unethical shots that still manage to kill things.

The whole set up is a real wreck!  I fear for my reputation, I think I'll just stay in the dark timber this elk season. So as not to be teased.

[BULLBLASTER]

That sounds an awful lot like my set up hammer. But I have a Droid ballistic app not a iPhone.

The skirt is easily removable and can be switched between all my rifles with brakes easily, it fits my .270 WSM with a brake nicely. Yes, the barrel is fluted, I was affraid I would be called a wuss if I couldn't hack/hump the non fluted barrel efficiently. I also installed a Shilen trigger due to the wuss factor of not being able to pull the factory trigger weight in extreme conditions/ weather. Please let me know if there in anything else I can do to the rifle to keep the sissy/ wuss factor as low as possible, I don't need the stress of a rifle complex while in the field this year. I need to stay focused.

Do you have pneumatic tires on a cart to wheel it through the thick stuff? 

[JimmyHoffa]

It's okay Hammer...For I guess I'm a sissy too.  I even have floorplates and/or detachable mags because of all the effort required to cycle the bolt that many times to unload it.

I bowhunt but I do enjoy shooting black bears and would enjoy shooting deer with my...

Savage 111L in a 20" barrell Mannlicher stock
Leupold 3-9X40 Vari X3 scope
150 gr. Hornady Light Magnum noslers out of the barrel at 3,350fps. Shoots flatter than almost any 270 load,

Its a great mountain gun and fun to shoot too!

Meant Savage 110L

I shoot a Remington 7mm Ultra Mag, wife shoots a Tikka 270 Short Mag, and my new favorite is my 8 year old daughters Remington Model 7 243 with the 18 inch barrel and a modified stock for her pull, fits her perfect and hoping she will get to use it this Saturday.

Winchester Featherweight in 270 WSM topped with a Nikon Monarch 3-9, handloads 150 gr Sierra BT.

That 7 Ultra pushing 160gr Accubonds is one wicked open country rifle, I know. Groundhogs are a ton of fun with it also!

All that money wasted on suppressors.

Here's my deer/elk/bear rifle. Marlin 308MX chambered in .308 Marlin Express. 160gr bullet at 2660fps, 2513 ft-lbs at the muzzle. Planning on replacing the scope, but even with the crummy scope it shoots plenty accurate enough for deer

[Lunchbox1981]

My deer rifle is my Howa M-1500 in .308 with a 24" heavy bull barrel it also has some custom work done to it.  It is topped off with a Meopta Meostar R1 3-12x56 with a German 4 reticle.  For deer I shoot SAKO 168gr and any bigger game I am shooting SAKO 180gr rounds.  I get clover tight groups at 100 meters (109 yards) with both rounds.
