Rem. 721 in .270. Then I used it until I bought my own...a model 99 .300 Savage.

RE: What did your dad hunt with?
 

My dad hunted deer one time with this single shot .30-06 of my grand-dads, my old man was mostly a wing shooter, he guided hunts at a few of the ranches around here, he used an Iver Johnson Champion single shot .410. He also was an avid coon hunter (still is), he's used Marlin semiauto .22's since he started shooting, a Marlin 99M-1 (looks like a mini M-1Carbine), a 66 (the model 60 of current manufacture plus 1 rnd more capacity), and now a Marlin 60 stainless that I bought him two years ago for christmas. The .410 is pretty much the only gun I hunt with for upland game and dove and I still shoot the 99M-1 more than any of my other rimfire rifles.

Dad didn't start hunting deer until later because there wasn't many here in Ky back then. The first rifle I remember him deer hunting with was a Parker-Hale 30-06. He used a Riverside Arms 16ga single barrel for rabbit, quail, squirrel and pretty much everything else back in his younger days.

RE: What did your dad hunt with?
 

My dad used to talk of an old 30-40 krag he had for his first hunting rifle. I've always known him to use a Rem 700 .308, and a few years with a Ruger No.1 in 6mm Remington.

I now use the .308 since he gave up hunting several years ago.

Pop used to hunt with a 30-40 Krag in an old springfield, in fact he still has the gun. Later he graduated to a 30-30 Marlin then his famous 760 Fieldmaster in 30-06. Those guns made for alot of memories......

RE: What did your dad hunt with?
 

My dad had a few guns buthe really only hunted with a Springfield 1903-A3 that was sporterized. It wasn't real accurate because it had only two rifle grooves. His other gun was an Ithaca Model 37 witch he liked because he is left handed and it is bottom eject.

RE: What did your dad hunt with?
 

My dad didn't hunt. However, when I was 10 or 11, my grandfather passed away and my dad inherited his hunting club membership. He started going to camp for the social aspect of it and he would take me out to the woods in the morning with my granddad's old Mauser (which I now own). We didn't have a clue how to hunt, but it was fun. Eventually, by listening to experienced hunters and some reading, I got to be pretty good at hunting. My dad never took it up, though, but I'm so grateful to him for taking me.

RE: What did your dad hunt with?
 

That would have been a Remington manufactured 1903-A3, I have a 03-A3 that was past down to me from my father a Smith Corona 03-A3 Date of manufacture 5-43 it has 4 grooves in the bore and also has been Sporterised but is also my most accurate gun I own, I can shoot SUB 1 MOA at 200 yards with factory winchester 150 grain silvertips ( not the ballistic tip). I now have handloads I make up for a local hi power Match here in my town I use a Sierra 175 grain BTHP Match bullets I can hold .5 MOA at 200 yards. They are great guns I dont know why remington made them in a 2 groove other then to cut cost towards the end of the war.
