Favorite deer rifle

[308HUNTERUT]

Being that this thread is trending towards old reliable I'm going to mix it up. These days I absolutely favor my Christensen carbon classic in 300wsm. I was lucky enough to get one that shoots lights out and it has settled into being my go to for anything antlered

308 for me....and MPNCC still have the ruger american chassis for sale?

Remington 700 in 7mm mag is my go to for deer.

CZ 550 6.5X55 1st 2wks then 700 7mm rest of the season..

Up until this year my Cooper 52 in 6.5x284 has been the hammer.

Gotta love a Cooper...I have several customs but have always wanted a Cooper. My friend has several and his .280ai has shot the tightest groups at 300yds I've ever seen.
Nice buck by the way....his left side has to pushing 90"......I'm gonna guess KS, but maybe not. Looks like a Southern KS buck.

This is Dr. Atwood, giving me my first fishing pole in about 1951.

He shot a deer every year down on the Oregon coast with his early .270 Winchester Model 70. About ten years after this picture he gave me the rifle. I had it stocked by JK Cloward. There is more to the story, but my typewriter is too small tonight.

I wish I knew what kind of walnut it is. When you ordered a custom rifle from JK Cloward.......he took you back to his shed where he had PILES of blanks........and you'd choose the one you liked. He was an incredible craftsman.

If I am just hunting deer, I use my old 721 in 25/06 with 120gr Nosler SPBT. I still some left, all those haven't been made in a great many years.

My dad was a custom gun , stock and knife maker I recognize true craftsmanship when I see it nearly a lost art
