Your first deer rifle?

Marlin lever action 30-30. Shot my first and still my largest whitetail with that gun.

For short range whitetail the 7.62x39 is my favorite. Mine is in a Ruger American Ranch. Hopefully for should be an able to track down a new stock for you CZ.

You would think! There are literally no options. CZ doesn’t have them in stock anymore and none of the aftermarket’s are specific to the 527M Carbine model. Apparently you can modify the 527 American stocks, but I haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet.

I shot my first deer when I was in college on a hunt with one of my roommates. The only rifle that I owned at that time was a single shot Remington bolt action .22 LR, so I borrowed a Win 94 in .32 Win Spl from my roommate and shot a spike mulie buck.

I didn't shoot my first whitetail until 10 years later when I moved to Montana and shot a little 3x3 or 4x4 buck with my .30-06.

I shot my first whitetail in the mid 90's with my dad's Ruger m77 tang safety 243. While I was in college I bought a Ruger m77 tang safety 30-06 and used that for years.

My boys shot their first whitetails with a Marlin 1895 in 357. That gun has very little recoil and does a nice job on deer inside 150 yrds.

Had to dig deep to snag a pic of these. My first two.

Ruger MKII SS/boat paddle in 30-06. Vari X II 3-9. Quite a rig in it's day.

Marlin lever in 44mag, traded that for a 444 and still have and shoot that gun.
Wish I would have kept the 44 and just bought a tripple4...
