What gun do you use for deer

[7mmgilbert]

I use a 7mm, but both of my boys use 270s, I killed a few bucks with an old 30-30 as a kid

Since I could start hunting, 5 years ago I have used my Ruger Mark II 7mm Mag for almost every kill, very flat shooting and plenty of power for anything in north america. I used a .50 cal. muzzle loader on a cow elk also. I just bought a Marlin .450 leveraction which i'm looking forward to using. With the lever-action i'm gonna keep it all 'traditional', with open sights and the whole bit. Those 300gr. bullets pack a pretty big wallop though

Levergun450, welcome to MuleyMadness!!! Thompson Falls, ay? Beautiful area to live. I've been through there many times in my life. I have a lot of family in W MT and have spent more time throughout the region than I can remember.

Enjoy the site and I look forward to your future posts.

Thanks for the Welcome, AGC. I moved to thompson falls this year. I've been living in Clark Fork, ID..which is about an hour from here. Lots more deer here, but I liked the elk hunting alot more there, less people.

I was given a remington model 600 in 6mm remington on my 10th birthday. it seems tha day I was born in 1967 my grandfather went and bought that gun just for me. it sat in the cosmoline and a box for 10 years untouched until my 10th b-day. that was 1977. I have owned this gun since then, 30 years, and have taken 28 of my beloved MULE DEER, and 2 coues deer, 18 javelinas, a corsican ram, and 4 antelope. I only ever shoot the factory remington ammo. it is the 100 grain pointed soft point core lokt, or the 100 gr pspcl. I love this gun. the day my son turned 10 in september 2002 I handed him an exact duplicate remington model 600 in 6mm for him to cherish. although I could not go buy a new one back in 1992 when he was born, I could look online and find a good one for him. I ended up buying one from a gun shop in washington state, that guy had 5 of these hard to find hunting guns on hand. so hopefully the two of us will continue to harvest our animals with these same rifles for many years to come ! good luck !
