Rifle check for deer season!

[Mars]

I'll mostly be using a 300 blackout AR. The 308 AR or Tikka may see some action. And there is always the ole Marlin 336 dirty-30.

I will probably start rifle hunting with lil' Blackie, my henry x-model in 44mag.

She stays sighted in. Lol.

Eta ... 1.. She is sporting a new black sling.

2.. I caint even see a dip can at 100 yds.

Plus I just quit Copenhagen LC after 45 +/- years so there's that!

I love 44mag and I've been itching for an X model since they came out. Maybe one day....

Much respect for putting down the Copenhagen.
Well done sir.

Got the Henry sighted in. It is the sweetest shooting gun I own. Really good trigger and very manageable recoil for a 45-70. Now I just need a cooperative deer.

I really like my Henry .308. It was worth the wait.

I can’t make myself stop toting the Grendel. It’s just too much fun. One of these days I’ll get one of my old canons back out I guess, or maybe not.

My Howa Mini Grendel is leading off the season, I hope it's as much fun as I think it's gonna be...

10 days off, starting tomorrow!

@Nicodemus posting pictures of that rifle is going to have my wife mad at me again. If I slip up and find one in 270 or 30-06 I'll just tell her I'm sorry and I love her. That could turn into my last rifle kind of rifle purchase.

Kinda like me wanting that Shiloh Sharp`s 22 magnum rifle. It`s expensive though. Real expensive.....

 

[Stevie Ray]

The usual suspects will be my old tried and true Model '94 in 30-30, Model 70 in .270 or Marlin 1894 in 45-70. They're all dialed in and ready for opening day.

Good luck everybody!

Waypoint 2020 in .308, vx5 scope and Christensen Arms Ridgeline 6.5cm, vx5 scope.

 

[Jester896]

i'm overwhelmed on choice i think

 

[Big7]

Rifle variety is the spice of hunting season...A big part of the fun, for me.

And putting together boolits.

 

[Big7]

I got a few set and/or confirmed but according to what I have scouted so far, looks like the Marlin gets the nod this weekend.

So now we got rain and I STILL ain't got the cargo bay in the little van cleaned out and the seats collapsed so I'll have a tiny "camper" to sleep in.
Got to get busy on that today. Got some food and stuff gathered up and ready to go.

 

[killerv]

You gonna use that on that land you dont have permission to hunt on? Ever load those subsonic 3030s?

 

[SC Hunter]

@FlipKing which one of those do you like better?

Overall rifle, I prefer the Waypoint. If you asked me to hit a shot that my life depended on, I'd grab the Ridgeline. But the Waypoint meets the 0.75 MOA guarantee easily. The Ridgeline being in 6.5 gives it a small accuracy advantage I think.

Me:
Trying to figure out if I want to camp and make a night/weekend out of it OR.... Try to sleep a little today and get up 4 ish and be there to park at 5 ish.

It's 50 mins/1 hour walking to my stand (almost 2 miles) and I want to get in there way before everybody else starts moving. That would put me an hour settled in before shooting light.

Me also:
Wondering if everybody else is going in early and waiting for the crowd to kick em' up too?

Me also:
Waiting until Monday or anytime during the week and go when the chances are better I might not get shot on public land.

I'm thinking when the fireworks start, I might get a shot at one headed for the backcountry where I'll already be settled in.

Nah.. I just troll to see how many stupid responses I can get.

The same 2 or 3 always show up.

Waiting on the other 2.

 

[Darien1]

Think I will be using my Ruger No. 3 in 30-30
