What do you shoot?

[Outdoors Junkie]

What type of weapon will you be using this weekend for the upcoming MN firearms deer opener?



I carry a Remington Woodsmaster model 740 30.06 (that was once my grandpa's).


 

[Go Big Red!]

I will switch to a:

1943 Winchester Model 94 Lever action 30-30 with open sights

instead of my usual:

Savage 110 bolt action 30-06 with a Nikon scope

GOING OLD SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!

Im going to the woods with my Remington 700 SS in .270 but dont care if I shoot anything as long as my daughter gets a crack at something. She is shooting a Savage Edge in .270. I cant believe that my 700 hasnt misfire on me at least 20 times according to the reports saying that they are so problematic. Love this gun!!!

Benelli M1 super 90 with a modified hasting rifled slug barrel (cantilever scope mount done by Ahlmans), Luepold 2 x 7 Rifleman, and a magazine extension just because it looks cool!

Best high school graduation present a father can give his child!

I have an old Remington 721 in .270 that belonged to my wife's grandfather.  He lived in Murdo SD and among other things was a postal carrier in Custer State Park.  Accoriding to my wife's father, he (his dad) used the gun to shoot buffalo in the filming of How The West Was Won.  He helped round up the 200 or so buffalo used in the stampede scene and had to dispatch a few for one reason or another.  It had a home made monty carlo (cheek piece) cut and glued in to the original stock.  Who ever did it,didn stain the piece so it is a different color than the rest of the stock.  A number of years ago I put a syntetic stock on the gun. 

Here is a picture of the original stock

Due to the recent forecast wet weather this coming weekend (Hoping it wont rain all weekend) we'll be pulling out the backup rifles.  I'll be shooting a new savage axis in 7mm-08-great shooter at the range, and the wife will be using a new CVA Scout in .243win.  If the sun decides to show itself, the Winchester Featherweights will come out.  I'd rather have snow rather than rain...

Good Luck to everyone, shoot strait and be safe...

[wildlifeminnesota]

taking out my ar15 in 6.8 spc got one last year one shot dead in its tracks around 100 yards out

[Onin24Eagle]

Savage model 16 Weather Warrior with the accutrigger in 270WSM.  Ammo is $$ but the gun is awesome.

Just got a brand new Ruger Super Redhawk 44 magnum with a 7 1/2" barrel which I can surprisingly do 4" groups with at 100 yards with open sights (using a rest).  I'm awful tempted to use that while still hunting the swamp, especially if it rains and I can move quietly.
