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

[unclecroc]

I enjoy seeing different set ups used for deer. I'll start with my 1885 high wall 6mm creedmoor using a 88 hammer hunter for field sits. And for drives and foul weather I'll be using my m77 Hawkeye 25-06 running a 90 absolute hammer.

I am planning on using my 25 Creedmoor I just finished building. I will be using 121 hammer hunters at about 2950fps.

In the stand with me will be my X-Bolt 7-08 shooting 120 HH's and 140 BT's. In the field will be my .280AI launching 143HH's and 160AB's.

I'm hoping to get load development completed on my new Browning X Bolt in 270 WSM in time to use it. I want to see how a 122gr Hammer HHT does at 3500+.

The Ruger #1 in 25-06 with 90gr Hammers is a known quantity and will either be backup or primary rifle depending upon the XBolt.

I'm also working on getting my lightweight Savage in 6.5 CM switched over from W748 to StaBall Match powder for better temp sensitivity. Gonna see of that Match powder can run the 85gr Hammers at 3400+ like the W748 does.

Howdy, earlier this year I asked you all if you know of a gunsmith in my area, that would rebarrel Weatherbys. A member here referred Harry Suarez, he was less than a hour away in Pa. Fantastic.
We will be using the 2 I had rebarreled.
Mark V 240 shooting 110--Tips. Settled on 3150fps. Daughters gun.
Mark V 30-378 shooting 230 Hy.Otm. settled on 3100fps. Wife's gun.
Rem.700 Sendero 7RUM shooting 143 H.H. settled on 3450fps. My toy.
Good Luck to Everyone.

Gonna use my ruger m77 tang safety in 7mm rem mag with 150 grain eldx hand loads

 

[memtb]

It will be the same old rifle, with a new bullet/load developed this summer. 270 grain LRX's @ 3000+ mv!

Two groups fired, two different loads, two days apart…..It should be "minute of Whitetail" out to my self-imposed range limit!

Though, it will be Whitetails only……our Mule deer took a hard hit this past winter! memtb

Deer: AEM5 suppressed AR, 77 TMK, short range, 240 yard shots from hide to clearing.

Load: 25 grains of 2000MR, LC, 205MAR, borrowing the load from @USAFRet rifle.

Good coyote load

 

[memtb]

Good coyote load

I'm counting on it! Hopefully, it's a pretty versatile load …..not just good for coyotes! memtb

 

[JiggyIi]

Remington 7600 35 Whelen= shorter range
378 Weatherby
444 Marlin for close
30/30 for drives
Up in this thick stuff if there is no snow, I like lots of HP to really hit ''em hard & a big exit
If there's snow, the list is LONG

 

[806guns]

Hopefully i will get my 7mm SAW barrel and components in time for deer season. Also built a 22" 7MM Prc 700 action with a H&S stock. Will be shooting 175gr eldx with either rifle.

 

[Sealesniper]

Depends on what stand I am headed to.

Go to is my SST 7WSM
If in a tight stand my DCGS 6.5x284
and if I want to hammer something my LPR 300 WSM.
