What is your “go to” weapon for deer hunting ?

[Finnbear]

Sometimes

Sometimes guns just shoot. I have an AR that has an upper by one company, a lower by another that started out as a .223/5.56 but my friend and I rebarreled it to a 6.8 SPC. It’s like a lazer, everything I point it at dies. It is my go to for coyotes and pigs. I’ve killed a couple axis deer with it too. My friend painted it in camo with a rattle can, then I put a different (black) handguard on it so it looks like hell but shoots with anything else I have.

lets hope my new Valmet 88 Will be like that. I never expect an autoloader to be too accurate but then i dont know mutch about them either.

Folks, I like to think deer season is just around the corner, (but I really think it’s because it’s 96* outside and forecast is for 100*+ all next week) We need something to take our collective minds off the heat and drought so I thought it might be a good idea for everyone who wants to participate to tell us about your favorite deer hunting tool, whether bow, rifle, shotgun, or handgun. Post a pic if you have one handy.

I’ll go first ! This would be my custom .280 Remington on a Remington Model 700 action with a Bartlein barrel, Timney trigger, and HS Precision stock, the only custom rifle I’ve ever commissioned. It wears a Nikon 2.5x10 scope with the BDC retical. I figure an old guy should have at least one custom gun in his lifetime. View attachment 24106

Ruger American 450 bushmaster, where I live you have to use straight-walled cartridges so no .308 or 6.5 creedmore, it sucks
