[74MOPAR]

Any odd caliber or just cool old guns? pretty standard here remington 30-06 for stand with longer shots and marlin 30-30 for close woods-post any pics of your set up

 

[stik]

270 99% of the time but i have other options.

 

[muddyboots]

[Boone 58]

I have hunted with the 270 since 2010....then swithced to the 270 WSM.......love it!

 

[Stalkhunter]

20 gauge slug gun most of year this season. Just felt comfortable. One hunt with 30/06.

Next season 7mm/08 pistol and 6.5x55 cant wait.

[gatodoc]

savage 300 in good weather and rem 700/243 in wet times...Synthetic stock on the 243...both seem to kill deer dead very well....

[ROUGH COUNTRY HUNTER]

.308,30-06,and my ol trustworthy .35 marlin

 

[Hunter 257W]

I sometimes deer hunt with a 460 Weatherby Magnum with 300 grain bullets at 3,900fps. That has to be considered odd. :)

Sorry but that velocity is a bit off. I meant to say, 2,900fps. The Varmint hunter in me was showing I guess thinking of all the hot 22 centerfires. 122gr IMR4350 behind a Barnes 300gr semi-spitzer gives 2,900fps Reduces the recoil down to about like a 3 inch 12 gauge and knocks the crud out of a deer without blowing up a ton of meat.

 

[ADR]

Love the 6.5 swede for all purpose and my 300 weatherby for long range applications

 

[jakeway]

I like the 6.5mm caliber for deer. 260 REM, 6.5 Creedmore, or 6.5 X 55 Swede are all about perfect for deer. If you have any one of these three you don't need to buy another unless you want to.

(Sometimes I just wake up with a feeling I should carry my 270 or 243. I usually follow these feelings just for luck. )

 

[Hoytman511]

same here

270 99% of the time but i have other options.

 

[moondawg]

7mm mag

 

[backwoods7]

300 win mag and 30-06 both scored this season for a total of 3 deer.

Carried my 270 and 3030 a few times but no meat.

Carried a 7-08 twice and shot a buck but lost him.

 

[MooreEagle]

303 british bought for $7 at sears & roebuck wwII surplus open sights no scope, killed a lot of deer

 

[EastTNHunter]

I have killed deer with .30-06, .243, .45/70, .50 ML, bow, crossbow, and most frequently .270 Win

 

[BowGuy84]

My deer rifle is a 25-06 and it loves the 115 grain balistic tips by winchester. Deer do not love this combination.

 

[Beekeeper]

.338 Win Mag pushing a 225 gr SPBT at about 2,900 fps.

 

[Football Hunter]

.308 works for me

 

[mathews338]

.338 win mag in 225gr.

 

[DaveB]

We partly succeed this year in trying to kill one deer for each claiber we own. 06, 280, and 243 scored. No ML, 22-250, 7mm08, or 300 WinMag. Going to do it again next year.

 

[Tn Cur]

Savage 7mm rem mag 162gr sst 100% have several other options but there's no need for them 20yds-400yds thick woods,open fields it don't matter I love my 7 mag

Good combo for deer!
