chrisw Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 And I almost forgot, my Ruger Redhawk 44 mag, I've yet to take a handgun deer so I'd love to do that too. Shot it the other day, I went back to open sights, I didn't like the scope much, so I'm keeping shots in bow range where I'm confident!

chrisw Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Look into a red dot for the ruger... That's what I took off of it, I feel like I'm just as accurate with open sights at 40yds and under and it took away some field of view. Just wasn't for me I guess.

I think alot of peope dont "sholder the gun properly" for a lack of a better term . Gun comes up to the eye, not eye to the gun or scope or red dot. My 480 super redhawk wears a ultradot red dot and it's the same way. I didn't think I would like it but it seems very natural .

They were good little guns, Dom and only sold for about fifty bucks new....Like the M37 Deerslayers, they were probably the most accurate of the smoothbores, in the days before rifled shotgun barrels became readily available...

My best chance is the Sinclaireville Superette! Actually its a great little store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I am going to take the scope off the Marlin .35 Rem, its a crappy one anyway and that gun is better suited to tight spots, drives, etc. But this weekends weapon is the Browning ABolt III .270 with 150 grn CoreLokt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolc123 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) On 11/15/2018 at 6:07 PM, wolc123 said: I will go with my Marlin 512 bolt action shotgun with 4X Bushnell banner scope. I have taken plenty of antlerless deer of both sexes with that one but it is long over due to get one with antlers. If one with more than three points on a side offers me a shot on Saturday or Sunday, it might finally happen. The farthest I ever killed a doe with it was 163 yards. The weather conditions on Saturday, with light winds and a backdrop of snow, look good for a long shot in the open hardwoods. If the big-antlered buck I messed up on with my crossbow last Sunday morning takes a similar walk this Saturday, it should be his last. Finally got that "antlerless only" monkey off the back with this gun. It all worked out just like an "A-team" plan. He took that last walk on Saturday morning (after I passed three small antlerless ones). Edited November 20, 2018 by wolc123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
