I know this may sound corny but there is a certain charm in hunting game with an old-time Low tech grandpa kind to rifle and caliber combo. When I get my Model 70 ( 1949 Mfg) in 300 H and H , I intend to try to take a deer with it. Just for sheer pleasure and enjoyment of hunting with it. No thought of G1 BC , or Drop at 600 yards , or anything like that. Just make a nice deer load, and zero it at 200 yards, and be able to shoot a buck at 400 yards ,if ever required. More like Mayberry RFD in stead of Star Treck!!! LOL

Absolutely! I have a Marlin 1894 .44 Mag coming with me to deer camp and would be just as tickled to take one with it as well

Nice shooting. Congrats on your first bear. I acquired a 9.3x62 last year and I'm just starting to work up an elk load for next year.

Rendered some fat and made teriyaki steak over rice with some of the bear steaks. It really is as good as they say!!
