My favorite deer gun is my Ithaca model LSA65 in 30-06 I've had this rifle since 1971 when I bought it new at a Firestone tire store,( how many of you ever done that).It fits me so well that when I bring it to my shoulder the cross hairs will be very near the intended aiming point, so it's very fast. Arunning shot on a deer becomes easy. I have two other rifles that fit me almost as well, one is a ruger .44 deer field carbine,and a marlin 1895 in 45-70. I took my daily limit on white tail one saturday this past January with the 45-70 in about 10 seconds a buck and doe I dropped them 30 yards apart. The next day I took another doe and all three were running.I have several other rifles that I hunt deer with but only standing or slowly walking,they just dont fit me as well and my confidence isn't strong enough. I know my limitations!
