I guess it'll be sticking with the ole Winchester 94 in 32 spl. Caliber.
Its been awhile since its killed anything. So now is a good time to start.
Always reliable for me. No scope.

I use this 308 and have been using it since 2011. Why? Because I like the way it shoots and it was only five dollars... Ok. I'll bite. Which raffle won ya that? I can see something on the stock, but can't make it out on my phone

Moosetrot and white marlin my first gun was a model 600 in 308 and I have kicked myself everytime I think about the fact I traded it. I still love short guns. I now shoot a Tikka T3 in a 270WSM if my wife won't let me have the Remington model 722 in the 257 Roberts caliber.

Just bought the Savage 350 Legend. Iowa limits you to shotgun (slugs) or straight wall cartridges. This is one that I’m slightly curious about. I’ve found no real world experience with this other than gun “gurus” singing its praises but no one that’s actually used it has stepped forward. It’s a new round obviously so I’m curious as to how it really performs. Keep us posted if you don’t mind. Seems as though it’s got some promise given it’s niche area it’s trying to occupy.
I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

I now shoot a Tikka T3 in a 270WSM if my wife won't let me have the Remington model 722 in the 257 Roberts caliber. I understand....can't tell you how many times guys came up to me wanting to buy it. My Dad bought two of them (nearly identical, but one didn't have the ventilated rib) in the 60's. My first 5 or 6 years of hunting, Dad and I both used those little 600's. They make a distinctive, helluva "CRAAAAAAAACK!" when they go off. He later started using his Dad's '06. but this one will never be for sale, as long as I live...too many memories!

Plain Jane 788 remington .243 carbine...100 gr core-lokts...shoots exactly where its pointed.. I just took mine out of the cabinet tonight. Early 80s model .243. It's going to the woods tomorrow. Most likely a deer is coming home. I have filled 26 tags with this gun, and several that others claimed they shot and I let slide. My father put many deer in the freezer with it too. It has multiple kills beyond 300yds, at least 3 beyond 400yds, and 1 at 550yds. It's best day in the woods was 4 deer with 4 shots, should have been 5, but had a bad primer not fire. I pitty the deer tomorrow.
