Your first deer rifle?

[Elkhntr08]

I was a poor blue collar guy with a new family when I found a Remington 788 carbine in 243. Mounted a Bushnell scope on it and killed a truck load of deer and coyotes with that rifle. It was amazingly accurate for a cheap rifle.

Winchester Model 94 pre 64. Iron signs and Remington Corelokts. My dad and I don't talk anymore but I wish I had that rifle to pass on to my son or daughter.

Marlin 30-30! I love seeing that was other peoples first rifle as well. So many great (and a few sad) memories with that rifle.

Winchester lever action 30-30 with a peep site! Lucky had the opportunity to buy it from our family friend who let me use it as a youth. Shot a lot of deer with it. Short and punchy for Northwoods Wisconsin brush hunting.

That was a DEAL, even if it was 20+ years ago.

I grew up in S.E. Minnesota so shotgun only. My first was a 12 ga 870 wingmaster. I hunted ducks, pheasants and deer with it. Moved to Montana 20 yrs ago and bought a Winchester model 70 7mm rem mag. Hunt deer, elk & antelope with it.

Mouser model 98 (I belive) in .243. Good number of animals fell to that rifle!

Mine was a Savage 170 in a 30-30 caliber. My Dad used to "steal" it from me to hunt in Pa. after the first week of deer season in WV. Pa. had a restriction against semi-automatic rifles and Dad's gun was a Remington 742 30-06 semi-automatic rifle. But my son broke it when he fell asleep in a tree stand and woke up and kicked it out of the stand and broke it in half. I heard it hit the aluminum ladder up to the stand a 1/4 mile away and started laughing until I saw that the gun was broke. It wasn't really that good of a gun, but I killed my first whitetail with it.
