Favorite deer rifle

[emtyhopper]

I haven't used it in a few years, but my favorite deer rifle is a Ruger M77 MK2 270 win.

Nice buck bud. The 270 is a old standby.

I am always reaching for my Kimber 8400 Select in 300WM even before I know which rifle I will be taking. I own 5 rifles in 300WM, plus my F-class rifle that has 3 300WM barrels.
It is my favourite cartridge closely followed by my 3 338WM rifles.
I also love my other rounds, but these get used as specialty tools for specific game I hunt, funny I know, just how I see it.

Cheers.

Jarrett 280 ack imp shooting 140 gr Nosler ballistic tips has always done the trick for me over the last 30 years.

Those little carbine Ruger 77s are really fun guns for short-range tight in shooting I have two of them and love the little critters, the 77/44 and 77/357 with Leupold M8 6X 42mm which are actually one of the best hunting scopes Leupold ever made in my mind, the combo of scope and rifle is amazing; lightweight, fast and accurate. Either one can take whitetail in fast flushing situations or up to the limit of the cartridges range. I also have one of Ruger's 77/22s just for kicks and it's a heck of a great little .22 RL I throw in a pic of it, for size comparison, those 77/44/357s are pretty compact.

I keep thinking about the one gun concept. I have so many now and not nearly enough time to shoot them all. Certainly not enough time to work up loads and give them the time they desperverse. I remember my younger days when my one center fire rifle was a rem 700 LH BDL 3006 I used it for everything from ground squirrels to elk. I just don't think I can part with them all though.

I was just sitting here thinking the same thing. I have several rifles that never get shot anymore. I really should trim down to 2-3 and give them the usage they deserve. I just haven't been able to convince myself to do so yet.

As stated in my previous post I have many rifles to choose from but over the past 3-4 years I consistently seem to grab my plain old boring .308. It's a Remington 700 5R Milspec 20" and it wears an old Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50 and it just shoots better than a factory rifle should. It loves 175 Berger VLDs and I have a Kenton knob made for that pet load.

I cut my teeth on a Win. Model 88, once you get used to that lever action no other will do!
