What Rifle/Scope/Ammo Are You Shooting A Deer With This Year?

[Lawdwaz]

When I use the ML'r it will be the NULA 50cal smokeless, Leupold VariXIII 2.5x8 & 275gr Parker BE combo.  No decision yet with CF rifle, haven't thought much about it.  Maybe a Remington 700 260Rem or NULA 7mm-08, Tract Toric 2-10x42 with 120gr Barnes TTSX or the .243 NULA

If it hadn't sunk to the bottom of Seneca Lake somewhere between Watkins  Glen and Geneva, I would  be using my Rem M700 Mountain Rifle in 7mm08  with a Burris  2X7 and handloads  featuring  Barnes 120 grain TSX.....

Axis or Axis 2 ? If you haven't already order a new trigger spring from m carbo for $11 . Took 5 minutes to put in and drastically reduced the pull on my Axis 2

I did the same trigger on my axis in 30-06. It blew my mind. 300 yard gun all day long. The best investment imo.

Didnt the Savage axis come with an adjustable trigger?

AR15 Performance barreled rifle in 6.8 SPC II. MEGA upper with a Spikes Tactical lower. The barrel is 16" and I run 110gr Sierra Pro Hunters down it.

It has a Bushnell 3-10x40 Elite 3200 scope mounted in a Burris P.E.P.R mount.

I have 10 round magazines that I have used a dowel to block off so that it can only hold five rounds. I don't want to be out of compliance with the New York State DEC (lol).

Lancer makes a 5 round limiter flor plate for their 10 round L5AWM mags. It helps assure the follower and spring stay correct. Magpul makes one as well and those come in a three pack.

 

I'm considering a 350 Legend upper for next year.

Believe it or not, the dowel has worked flawlessly. It fits right in the middle of the magazine spring. I wrapped it in electrical tape. Simple solution for a stupid problem.
