Your first deer rifle?

[F51 LRS]

My first is still the one I use - 1977 Marlin 336 in 30-30. Been more than sufficient in my Appalachia woods.

A Marlin 30-30 lever action got me my first mule deer here in Nevada.

Winchester 94 , 30 WCF. I hope my nephew still has it and has taken care of it.

My dad bought me a Ruger American Standard in .30-06 10+ years ago when I was getting started. I don't come from a hunting family and we just went off the recommendation of the clerk at the Bass Pro. Knowing what I know now that would NOT be the cartridge/rifle combo I would choose for a new hunter LOL. I have never really enjoyed shooting that rifle and it just sits in the safe now. I've thought about selling it, but can't bring myself to do so. Thought about getting a B&C stock for it, but struggle to justify the purchase now that I have other hunting guns.
