What rifles are you planning to use in the 23/24 deer seaon?

[SamuelBerryhill308]

My main two will be Christianson arms mesa 300 win mag shooting 166 hh or my Remington 700 sps tactical 308 shooting 152 sh
My wife and sons will be using tikka t3 stainless 7mm-08 with 120 hh

Windy day. I may take out the suppressed 14 and launch 175 TMKs or the 150 BD2s

 

[BigNate]

Mostly a 16" .223 1/7 shooting 77gr TMKs.
My backup is either a well worn 257 Roberts shooting 115gr partitions or a 25-06 with 120gr Hornady HPs.

Mine's at the smith getting its barrel coated to match the action, but I'll be using my 280 AI with 120gr TTSX for western KS muleys.
I'll replace the photo when it's back.

Come to TX, I think I am down to three 8 pounders, but will share...

Don't tempt me. Haha.

Since I don't do any long range hunting, just short range for whitetails, I plan on using my savage lightweight hunter in 7mm-08 with freshly chopped barrel to 16.5". Never hunted suppressed before and just got my can in February, very much looking forward to that. Also new this year will be the 90 grain hammer hunters. Coming out around 3200 fps. Don't have a solid load worked up for them yet but recoil is almost non existent and very pleasant with the suppressor. It wears a razor HD LHT during deer season. I've had the scope for a couple years now and REALLY like it- the reticle is pretty much perfect in my opinion, it's lightweight, and I like the exposed locking elevation turret.
Very much looking forward to using it this season!

Either my self or my daughter will harvest one doe this year. If it's her, my M70 30.06 with 150 BT. If me, M70 270WIN with 130 PowerPoints. It's harvesting, not hunting. Don't need anything special.
If I had a real hunt, 300WBY with 200 AB or 338 LM with 250-300 grain bullets.

I found a great load using XBR but it isn't always easy to find either.

 

[QuietTexan]

My main plan for this year is an XP-100 in 7mm-08. If I get adventuresome I've been really wanting to shoot something with my 8.6 BLK. Have a 204 Ruger ready to go for trash pandas and armadillo.
