7mm Saum for Texas deer and pigs. Only use 120 bt's but have Berger 168's for bigger use if needed.
Fully tweaked factory rifle for maximum accuracy and quietness.

Here is my woods deer rifle...my Ohio straight wall special. Rebarrelled 30-30 Model 94 to .375 Win. / 38-55. Done by JES who I think is a regular contributor on this forum. I like the Sierra 200 gr flat points and these 245 gr Missouri bullets. I'll dig out my Ohio agriculture deer rifle in a few minutes.

As promised....here is my Ohio agriculture deer straight wall special. 2.5 power scope. Set up for a reasonable 200 yard max point blank range. Nothing crazy like the next zip code. Recent group verifies the load. Ambush site is in Knox County. I'll post post West Virginia rifle rigs next.

Man, there's just something special about 30-30s and 348s. You gotta own a dirty 30 at least once in your life. I've had several. Thanks for posting!

This is my do-all West Virginia go-to gun. I graduated from a cherished hand me down 30-30 to this BAR when I was a junior in HS.
Everyone cut their teeth on 30-30's.....35 Remington, 303 British, 30-40 Krag or pumpkin balls. Everyone would eventually get their 06...270...308 or if you were considered really slick a 243.
Van Lunens had the BAR priced wrong and my dad put it on layaway for me before the crowd behind him could do the same. I paid it off with my pizza job before Christmas. I can still hunt...stump hunt & drive. Yes we grew up calling it stump hunt as no self respecting buck hunter (cause that's what everyone was) would ever be caught up in a tree or elevated box stand. We killed weary acorn bucks while on the ground with them.
In 30-06, if I need I can reach across the small hay fields you have in WVA or shoot down a bench or 2 on a travelling buck. You could shoot all the way down to the bottom of the holler if you took the time to cut a lane from you stump. If you've hunted The Mountain State you will know exactly what I mean here.
We'll this is my favorite...can't hunt in Ohio with it where I live but it's been a buck slayer in Ohio, North Carolina and Maine for a long time.
Hope you like my rig and my story.
