What are you shooting this deer season?

6.5x284 with 156 grain Norma Oryx mostly. Sometimes a 338 Lapua with the 225 grain Accubonds.

6.5 X .284 & 6.5-06 should be pretty close to what I get with my Ruger 77 in 6.5 Rem Mag. Great deer rifle; only problem I ever had was with the Remington factory ammo - jacket in the 120 grain bullets are too thin for the velocity.

ruger bolt action in 223 using federal super shock bullets. i have never had a deer run over 50 yds after being shot.

just picked up a 1874 sharps replica in 45-70...never killed a deer with open sights and think its high time.

Ruger Mark II in 30-06 stainless, composite, and Timney trigger will be the primary gun. If it breaks, I'll have a Remington short action 7mm-08 as backup, put together with a stainless barrel, rough "blue" short 700 receiver, Timney trigger, and Hogue stock. Shoots great.

If one gets real close, my hog gun, a scoped super Redhawk in .454 Casull, may get a chance.

Ill be out with one of the following. A Winchester 94 30-30 iron sights, Mossberg 500 loaded with rifles slugs 28inch barrel with bead sights, and if one gets close enough (max 30m) my G20 10mm. The 30-30 will limit me to a ~100m radius, the mossberg to ~50m, and I already mentioned the 10mm.

Bringing the M70 .264WM out of retirement this year. Got a 120gr NOS BT load made up the gun seems to like. Usually run 140s but I wanted to drop it down this year.
Hopefully I can find something to test it out on.
But, the next two weeks will be spent with the Creed. Chasing that Kansas Giant....

I'm goin with my savage 110 30-06 for any long range work and a marlin 1895 45-70 for the short game. Unless I do something crazy and buy a 458 socom upper. ��

For my first "real" try I will be bringing either my Creedmoor or 45-70 Marlin. Leaning towards the Creedmoor despite it being much heavier.

The little Whelen with the VX3 1.75-6x. It's really my perfect deer gun. Tiny, light, simple, thumb safety, medium caliber thumper. It's the length of a '94 and not much heftier than my .44 Carbine (which I never take out even though I say I will), and it does everything better...once.
