Tc encore 50 cal mzl /3-9 Leopold/250 gr hornady sabots

[Poppy]

For me it is a CZ 527M carbine in 7.62x39, 1.5 to 5 Thompson Center scope, 123 grain Hornady ammo, a hot thermos of coffee and a comfortable tree house with roof, windows, carpeting and a comfortable chair.

My trusty Rem 710 in 30-06 shooting Federal Fusion 180g. I will have my son for company for the first time with his new Savage Axis in .270 shooting Fed Fusion 130g. We will be in a ground blind with our Mr Heater, and thermos of coffee and a few sangweeches.

[Steve7]

Savage 30.06 165gr Rem Accutips with Nikon 3 by 9 by 40.  Gun is right on and shoots 1/2 groups to 180.  Love this setup.

[46rkl]

Using my lever action 30-30. Love this old gun! Accurate out to 100 yds. With iron sights.

[cdmckane]

Savage 220F, nikon 3-9x40, w/Hornady SST 250gr FTX slugs.  Or Remington 700 in .30-06, nikon 3-9x40 w/Hornady SST 150 gr.  Or TC Pro Hunter FX, Nikon 3-9x40 with 300 gr .452 Hornady XTP in a black MMP sabot.  I'll decide that morning once I decide which stand I'm hunting.

Been using a Ruger M77 in 7mm-08 for the last 5-6 years, topped with a Nikon 3-9x40 and loaded with Remington 140 Gr. Core Lokts. Awesome deer rig and I have been successful with it. But I think Im going to give my old Remmy 700 CDL 30-06 some play time. Older Simmons 4-14x40 scope (it was an expensive scope at the time) loaded with the  new Hornady American Whitetail 150 grain, inter lock ammo. They group great out of that old rifle.

But I also have a new Ruger American in 25-06 that shoots the Hornady American whitetail 117 grainers, less than an inch at 100 yards HHMMMMM.. Probably still give the nod to the old Remington….I miss its company in the stand..LOL!! 

[coonhunter]

Mossberg 100 atr  with 130 gr power points in.270 for me. Scope is an old simmons prohunter 3x9. Young lady with me will be doing the shooting and she has already proven to be able to get the job done.

[Red]

Mossberg 500 12 gauge 28" smooth bore double beed bird barrel for opening day then mostly the muzzle loader after that.

[bushnell]

Remington Model 7600 .280 with a Bushnell Elite 3x9 scope using 140 grain Remington Corelokt Soft Points.

[wheelieman]

Winchester 30-30 170 gr. Boat tails

[Pygmy]

Rem 700 Mountain Rifle in 7mm08 with my handloads which feature a Barnes 120 grain TSX @ about 3000 fps MV..

Scope is a Burris 2x7 Fullfield...

SECOND day, I'll probably be using my 1943 vintage Garand M1 with issue peep sight and my handloads of 150 grain Hornady BTSP and enough H4895 to duplicate the original WWII issue load at around 2700 FPS MV...

[Hock3y24]

Remington 870 wingmaster bushnell 1-4.5 scope with quick detach and iron sights. Winchester slugs. If I go to my more open woods I'll take my 870 special field with hornaday sabots and bushnell 4x32.

[teepee]

My favorite of choice Savage Model 99 chambered in 300sav with 4 power Weaver scope. 

[GreeneHunter]

My trusty old (like me) Winchester #94  30-30 iron sights !

[The_Real_TCIII]

New browning .270, very wxcited

[ny hunter]

T\C Venture 30-06 or Weatherby 7mm  mag....Not sure yet..

[132 eight pointer]

Remington 700 ADL  w 3-9 Bushnell Trophy,  .270 130 gr.  Have not taken a deer with it so I am hoping to.

[Lawdwaz]

NULA 7mm-08, Leupold VX3 3.5-10 and hand loaded 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips.

[Pygmy]

The 7mm08 seems well represented here... Also the 30-06, .270 Win and 30-30, but that would be as expected...

 

I'm surprised there are not more .308s showing up...

[Billdogge]

I also thought the .243 would pop up
