I grab what ever is legal at the location, the season, and the game.  If every is available, I prefer my Remington 700 VTR in .308 with a Nikon 3X9 - 40mm scope and Remington Core-Lokt soft points in 150 grains.

.270 American Ruger with a 3X-9X Nikon scope

 

Before this year it was a 1969 12 gauge Model 37 Ithaca pump with a 2X Leupold extended eye relief scope (extremely deadly) .... on both ends .... lol.

[Terry]

I'm going to borrow troutfisher's gun. If he won't give it up, I'll go with my 40 yr. old Ithaca Deerslayer 12 ga. with the factory open sights.....Deer, beware!!

Better plan on the Ithaca

[SuperMag]

Remington 870 Super Magnum, fully rifled barrel, and factory open sights.

[stop em and drop em]

I take old reliable into the woods, sears and roebuck model 45, 35 rem. It's a great for all weather, short, easy to move around on my tree stand. I got it second hand and have used since 1986. I tried a few others but always felt most comfortable with the 35. Took a number of deer with a rem core lokt 200 gr.  

[NFA-ADK]

Savage model 110 bold action, Bushnell 3-9 : 40mm, 30-06 w/federal 165 grain sierra bow tail was my main gun for a long time.  I have been using my Winchester model 94 AE in 44 Mag for about 14-15 years as my main gun 240 grain-300 grain open sights.  Old school this year with a 30-30 topped off with a Leupold 2-7 :30MM testing ammo...

[Daveboone]

For over 20 years, my Ruger ultra light .308 bolt with 1.5x5 Leopold. I added a competition firing pin and spring and Timney trigger, glass bedded. Strictly my own Speer 165 gr. Spitzers.

I am hoping to have back from the gunsmiths with time to final tune and sight the rifle Dad always carried, and I shot my first buck with, an Oberndorf 8x57 Mauser. It is being drilled and tapped, and will wear the same scope as my Ruger. Another Timney and firing pin/spring will be added. Also my own reloads- 175 grain Sierra spritzers.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

If I am in Rifle area it is my Remington 700 BDL. Vortex illuminated scope and hand loads topped with Sierra Game Kings. If I am shotgun only it is My Encore ML with Vortex Illuminated scope, 150 grains of 777 and 250 gr shockwaves.

[GreeneHunter]

Ole Reliable 30-30 with 170 grain ... I (last year) inherited a 270 which I'll take out this year ... but not on opening day !

[stillhunter]

Mine's a 45-70 Marlin 1895g. XS ghost ring for the thick stuff, and a 3x9 Monarch the rest of the time. Like to roll my own load with a 300gr. Partition @ 2200 fps.. 

[Pygmy]

If I am in Rifle area it is my Remington 700 BDL. Vortex illuminated scope and hand loads topped with Sierra Game Kings. If I am shotgun only it is My Encore ML with Vortex Illuminated scope, 150 grains of 777 and 250 gr shockwaves.

 

Culver..You forgot to say what cartridge your 700 is chambered for..

 

I see  that you're a Vortex fan, like WnyBuckhunter...

 

Are you guys SWEET on each other...?...<< wink >>....

[WNYBuckHunter]

Hes just a copy cat lol

 

You should see our Encores LOL, damn near twins.

 

 

Seriously though, if you ever look through one, and compare it to the other brands out there, youll know why Culver saw the light.

 

 

[First-light]

1187 scoped out.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

.30-06. Is there any other caliber...lol. I know it isn't fancy as you guys with the big magnums and exotic calibers but it shoots. I bought if from my now brother in law so he could make the final payment on the engagement ring for my sister. Shot so well I wouldn't sell it back to him...

[Pygmy]

There are other calibers...But if you have a 30-06 you certainly don't NEED another caliber....

 

But then, the same could be said about  8 or 10 OTHER chamberings, but probably none would be as versatile or as user friendly as the 30 -06...

 

I still suspect that you and WnyBuckhunter are sweet for each for each other due to that VORTEX thing...<<grin>>..

[ants]

I have a Remington 700, in 30-06 that I bought close to 30 years ago. I Took a ton of deer with it but retired it  4 or 5 years ago after acquiring the 7mm-08. After reading the last couple posts.....

I just might have to "let it play" this year.

[pawle76]

Marlin 336c in .35 Rem. Bushnell trophy 3x9 scope and Hornady leverevolution 200gr. ammo. I also use a Win. model 70 featherweight in .30-06 with a nikon buckmaster 3x9 scope. I usually shoot Federal Fusion 180 gr. or Fed. Vital shok 180gr. ammo.

[Top ramen]

I love my Thompson Center Impact .50 caliber with 3-9X40 simmons scope, Blackhorn 209 powder, and Barnes TMZ 250Gr all copper round. This shoots well and I can use it in Ohio (no rifles) where I hunt half the time. This is my go to gun.

 

In NY I do like to take out my Remington 700 ADL in 30-06 which is topped with a 3-9X40 Banner Bushnell and firing Hornady SST 165Gr. I wish I had the opportunity to use this more but reserve this as my NY rifle. I load the 180gr Hornady for bear.

 

I purchased a Virginian Dragoon .44mag, 7.5" barrel this summer and love this beautiful and stout pistol. I look forward to using on deer this year but cannot bring to NY. It would seem that a license holder or better a lifetime license holder could use a pistol to hunt. I respect that it is the law and I abide but just wish I could.

In the stand I am taking the Winchester model 70 .270 with nikon scope. If I am still or stalking then I am taking the Winchester model 94 30-30 with iron sights. For where and what I hunt it is the best combo for me.
