Let see those deer rifles

[Lab rat]

So just give both my deer rifles a good scrubbing both are semi custom build for Oregon blacktail deer and mule deer my 6.5-06 is the DM with 26" Lilja barrel (just built) my second gun in 260 Rem also Lilja barrel 24" both with timny triggers blue printed actions and Leupold VX5 3x15x44 HD scopes

Nice rifles Lab rat!
With the exception of a couple of scope upgrades, this is my "go-to" for deer for the last decade with a few dozen whitetails and mule deer under its belt from 100 to +1000 yards.

Here's a sampling of mine left to right. Wby. Altitude in 6.5 CRDM (130 Accubond); Cooper Custom Classic in .243 (24" bbl). My go to bullet in that is an 85 grain Sierra HPBT for deer and chucks and a Cooper Jackson Game in .25-06 (115 Nosler for deer, 90 grain Sierra Blitzking for chucks).

Unfortunately I can't use rifle for deer in my area, shotgun/muzzleloader or bow only. So I've been shooting savage 220f 20 gauge slug gun with great success so far out too 250 yards and closer

we are trying to plan a hunt on my buddies property for this up coming season and then back down to Montana next season so have to decide which rifle to take. Have a 6mm creedmoor that has taken a few coyotes out too 550 yards and a crow at 625, my 260 rem which I've shot my pb group at 640 yards, and the new one coming in a couple weeks, 25 creed

Simple, cost-effective Savage Axis in an MDT LSS chassis (that I bought hella-cheap), Riton 6-24x56 IR in a LaRue detachable mount. Still wearing the factory 30/06 barrel for now.

Defiance action, Manners stock, Proof barrel, Timney Elite Trigger, Badger bottom metal with custom cut CIP mags to fit my Warbirds. I have since switched a few scopes and settled on a X5

Here's mine. First one is my semi custom .284 Norma Match, built on a Remington 700 long action, fitted with a 26" Bartlein #3 1-8 twist 5R barrel with a blended Hawkins Precision brake. It has a Remington special edition laminated ADL stock that's been pillar and skim bedded with Devcon. It's topped with a 4-16x44 Vortex HS-T in a set of Hawkins Precision Hybrid rings. It loves Berger 175gr Elite Hunters and RL23 in Peterson brass going 2850FPS.

My next hunting rifle is more for the long range shots and for the spots I setup where my shots will all be far. It's my semi custom .308 Norma Mag built on a 700 long action, 28" Bartlein Remington Varmint 1-9 twist 5R barrel that's fitted with a custom 3 port brake. It sets in a B&C M40 stock that's been skim bedded. I have a Triggertech straight bar trigger in it set at 1.5lbs. I recently mounted a Sightron S-TAC 4-20x50 on top of it sitting in a DNZ Tactical one piece base. This rifle is super fun and shoots very well. My current load is a 208gr ELD-M going 3050FPS propelled by RL26 in Bertram brass. I'm going to be working on a load with 215 Berger's this spring.

Let's try some old school. My father's 1903A3 Springfield pictured here after a thorough cleaning. He picked it up as a barreled action for $18.50 after WWII. I'll bet it has had 1500 rounds through it, but still pus three 180 grain Remington Corel-Lokts within an inch at 100. I've not been able to develop a load that it shoots better so why I stopped trying. The stories it could tell.

 

[Creedmoor shooter]

Remington 700 long range 7mm rem mag. She loves the 180 eld-m with rl-26 @2959 fps. Nothing special but the ol girl shoots.

 

[Creedmoor shooter]

This rifle is not really my main hunting rifle but I do carry It occasionally. Mainly used for prs and just targets. Built savage 6.5 creed. Savage model 12 action, criterion 26in varmint contour, HS precision m24 stock, and a MBM beast brake. Topped with a vortex ps-t gen2 5-25x50.

My favorite whitetail gun is an Encore pistol in 250 Savage AI. So much easier than toting a rifle. Shoots just over 1/2" at 100.

Remington Model 721
Weatherby Vanguard Series II
Both chambered in .270
Neither are fancy, but they sure are fun to shoot!
