Your first deer rifle?

[Bandit16]

Pre 64 Model 70 in 30-06 with an original Weaver scope. Both 1945 vintage. Belonged to my great-grandfather. My hope is to use it to take a chamois this year on its 80th birthday. I’ll need to upgrade the scope though.

I didn't get into hunting until I was in my 30s when met my wife. The in laws like to hunt and I picked up the bug from them.

My first deer rifle was a Browning AB3 in 6.5 creed packaged with a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40. It's an accurate little gun and my wife and I have killed several deer with it. We have both since upgraded so it is now the gun we loan to friends and family that want to come hunt but don't have a rifle handy.

I now use a Browning X-Bolt Speed in 6.5 PRC with a VX-6HD 3-18 x 50 and my wife has a Weatherby Mk 5 Camilla Ultralight in .243 with a VX-5HD 3-15 x 44.

Remington 700 left hand in 6mm. Foolishly traded it.

BSA 30,06. First Moose rifle would be more accurate. I did eventually shoot WT and a couple Mule does with it when I moved to alberta in my early twenties.

Marlin 336c in .35 Rem. I got it new around 1970, and passed on to my grandson.
