Deer Rifles

Tennessee Deer Sporting & Deer Hunting Community Forum

Help Support TNDeer | Tennessee Deer:

6 that have/are being used regularly. Several more that could be called into action if needed. My main 2 though are my Savage 10MLII and a Savage 10TH 308, both with DNZ mounts and Vortex scopes, when they bark, a deer dies!
 
1 just for deer or 2 if you count my AR... never needed one when I lived in IL. Finally decided to invest in one last year. I used to be a bow snob but have found that I enjoy shooting them with a muzz/rifle just as much

I have one for little deer, middle size deer, Big deer, way off deer, up close deer, backups.

I never say how many but I have my eyes on a 6.5, an X-bolt in Nosler 30, who knows where this trail ends.
 
I really hunt with 1. I have a dedicated long range rifle when needed (very rarely) and I hunt with my 6.8 late season if I'm trying to get multiple does. Sometimes they don't immediately run, having that second and third shot already in the chamber is nice and minimizes my movement.

It seems that every time I do a gun count I get different numbers as there are always some that I forget about. I've got a heavy barrel 6mm Remington that could serve for deer but it's really too heavy to carry so I think of it as a pure varmint rifle. Have a 22-250, 220 Swift and 22 CHeetah that some would call deer rifles but there is no way I'm shooting deer with any of them either.
