New gun for Ohio deer season

[ATH]

In Indiana I'm comfortable out to about 120 yards with my Ruger Deerhunter in 44Mag with peep sights. If you want to shoot much further than that you need the .45-70 as the energy on the .44 is getting too low. But I do love that .44 within its range.

Fortunately in Indiana we do not have the straight-wall limitation, I just had a .358 WSM 1.8" wildcat made....225gr Accubonds at 2800fps...

Happen to have a NE hand-rifle in 45/70 with 20 rds fired with scope base. Bought it month ago then friend sold me his K1 in 45/70 that I am going to use in ohio.

$280 shipped to an ffl that will accept from an individual.

Email if interested.

So I bought a Winchester 1885 45/70 for the Ohio deer season. With open sights I was good with it to 100 yards. At 50 yards I had 3 shots touching. But, the week for deer season I was packing a truck to move. My wife took a tranfer for her job to Washington.

Engineering101, we might want to talk sometime. As I am now able to use my STW's here in Washington. Montana was a great drive, 90 was very beautiful. Jobs for what my wife and both do in Montana were very low.

Well, you are set now! I just hope you don't mean DC!!!

Washington state will be awesome for hunting!

Nope, not DC. Was there this summer for vacation, to busy and to political for me. I like the open spaces.

Hunting and fishing, as my kids have been asking to go fishing.

For rifles the regs just say you can have no more than 3 rounds in the mag & chamber.

It isn't like the regs for shotgun which specifically say you need to have a device installed to limit you to 3 shells.
