#1 for me here in Indiana is my T/C Encore 209X50 with a Leupold3-9X40 on it, loaded with Hornady LNL sabots in front of 150 grains of Pyrodex.

On our annual Eastern Kentucky hunt I also carry my Encore, with a custom shop .264 Win Mag barrel topped by a 4-12X40 Leupold. I load her upwith some of my father-in-laws "home rolled" 100 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip loads.

Great threadby the way,I've enjoyed reading it!

Currently, I use a Mossberg 500 (shotgun only in my area of NY). Prior, I used a Remington Model 760 in .30-06 and before that a Winchester Model 94 in 32 Win Spec. The Winchester has taken many deer for my grandfather, my uncle, my father and me. I don't think there is any better scrub hunting rifle.

I was grinning from ear to ear. Because of circumstances beyond my control, I've previously had to take a "close-enough-for-government-work" approach to sighting in. This year I didn't ,and I learned they're not kidding when they say the Savage 110/111 accuracy is excellent, especially given the cost of the rifle.

RE: Whats Your Deer Gun?
 

Browning Gold Hunter, black synthetic, 1.5-5X scope, and also Knight Disc stainless with 3 X 9 scope.

RE: Whats Your Deer Gun?
 

Remington 700 in .308 and a Tikka T3 in .270wsm, both are very accurate.

RE: Whats Your Deer Gun?
 

I use a Model 70 in 270WSM for most hunting. I often have a Cow Elk tag as well as my Mule Deer tag.

Deer or Antelope only, I like my Browning BBR in 25-06

Trophey Elk, Buffalo, black bearand other bigger game I use a Model 70 in 300WSM

And I have several 30-06 that I keep around for spares and back up rifles.
