Yes, I get these are lame, but....

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!

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 have 2x Leupold on my sbhh . I don't notice loss of field of view . 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...

I don't know about your area, but it seems like every little  corner store in north central PA ( Tioga and Potter County) has a few boxes of .35 Rem on the shelf..

My best chance is the Sinclaireville Superette! Actually its a great little store

[The_Real_TCIII]

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

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).

Why do you need to "Grow a pair"? What's the big deal?

Cabelas. They’re made to pop right off but I zip tie it to the scope in the middle so I don’t lose it and can slip it on and off easily
