OK GUYS, KILLING THE TIME BEFORE I LEAVE FRIDAY
Lets all share our Deer Rifles and Caliber
Gun stories would be Great also
Mine is a old wood stock Remmington model 760 pump action in my favorite caliber 30-06
My Uncle gave it to me. It was my grandpas' brothers' for all the years He hunted the woods.
I upgraded it with a Nikon 3x9x40 scope and a set of weaver see threw scope mounts (just in case I need the open sites)
Also put on a slip on limb saver (wow that thing work great)
shoots strait as hell and with a fairly short barrel its loud as ****.
longest shot to date was at 250+ yards. (black tail spike)
love this gone and don't plan on replacing it any time soon.
Favorite thing about this gun is the pump action. Every time I am target practicing with it someone always says "that's a pump" Yes and in 30-06.
Have a great season and be safe :hello:

Topped with a Tasco 4x12 (Japan), with a built in range finder and a quick elevation adjustment, 25 yard increments up 500 yards. It was a B-day present from my wife when we were in Japan back in the mid 80's.

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.

Yup, they're a pleasure to hunt with. I worried a little about kick with the light stock when I bought it, but it's not an issue at all.

Took a buck a few years back with a Model 71 in .348. My dad had one in the old days and I wanted to take a buck with it. I'll attatch a pic of the .348.
Previous years have also bagged a few bucks with a Model 760 .270, a Model 94 30-30, and even a couple bucks with shotgun slugs.
My favorite is still the xcr though...

Honestly, I grabbed that image from the internet. Mine is identicle, same quality finish and all, but has a very small chip in the black portion of the front stock.
I swear every time I go to the range, someone tries to offer me cash on the spot for it. After explaining that it's an heirloom, they always say something like "oh god no, you gotta keep it forever then". Hahaha. Yup!
To my knowledge, there is around 18 Deer and 14 Elk had with this gun now. Can't wait till my boy starts adding to those numbers also :tup:

Thank you sir. The stock is what sold me on the gun, I was already set on the caliber. I also have M77 MKII in 7mm Mag just like yours and my brother shoots the 270 version just like yours. They are "bullet proof" guns. Everyone has to have a pretty one too though :)
