Remington 7600 Synthetic 30-06. Simmons 6X40 scope. 150 Grain Federal factory loads Speer Grand Slam bullets. This is for deer. For bigger game, same gun and scope 180 grain hand load Nosler Partitions. Second deer season Browning A Bolt stalker 308. Hand loaded 150 grain Nosler Partitions. Third season T/C woods rifle 50 caliber muzzle loader. 300 grain Hornady XTP's. Peep sight. The Browning has a very old Redfield 2x7 tracker scope. I have had it for thirty years. Still works perfect.

Hmmmm....

Probably my Marlin 30-30 with 170gr Remington core-lokt rounds. Or, I could try to get closer with my Remington 870 Express 12GA and slugs or 00 Buck.

Remington 700ml inline muzzle loader with a 3x9 bushnell. The load is 95 grns of 777 fffg and 350 grn Precision Bullets. It's 2.5 inches high at 80 yards and 3 inches low at 150 which is my max shot where I hunt.

I live in southern MI by the way, no centerfire rifles allowed. Other wise I would probably get a H&R .243 instead.
