Your first deer rifle?

[Kilbux]

Remington 870 in 20ga with a smooth bore slug barrel. My part of Arkansas was shotgun/ml. Never killed a deer with it but quickly upgraded to a 12ga cantilever 870 and stuck with that setup for several years.

What was your very first deer rifle?

Mine was a mossberg 500 410ga with a smooth bore barrel and iron sights. It’s a great grouse gun but not a deer killer. 2 minute of deer isn’t really good for me.

My very first rifle was handed down to me from my grandfather, which was a Win 94 in 30WCF. Up until me receiving this rifle I’d been hunting 8-9years and had only shot a fawn. Within 3 days of owning it I shot two bucks.

I love that rifle but it’s become more of a safe queen these days. I’ve come up spicy load using the Hornady 140gr Monoflex and leverevolution that I’d like to try one of these days.

I started out with the exact same thing mossberg 500 410 and then my grandpas model 94 that he bought new in 46.

My first was a Browning lever action in 243, and I regret trading it for a 300win mag because I was convinced I needed a bigger gun.
