Your first deer rifle?

[Tgf99]

Remington 870 20 guage and later a model 700 30-06

A poorly sporterized Enfield .303 I bought from my older brother for $75. I still have it. Feed it the right ammo and it shoots great.

Feed it the wrong ammo and you'd have better luck throwing it at the deer.

Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic in 30-06. I’ve purchased several rifles over the years, but it’s still special to me.

 

[Gp100]

My firs deer rifle was Winchester 94 .30-30.

 

[Reece123]

my first was a H&R handi rifle in 223. I now have the same gun in 22-250 and 243. I absolutely love them.

 

[JMundy84]

An old Husqvarna h-5000 .270 handed down from my dad I still have it and have been planning on working up a new load for it since the old man want to kill one more deer with it before he calls it quits.

 

[Grumpystilskin]

Mid 80’s Winchester Mod 70 in 270 Win. Topped with a Bushnell 4x scope. Wish I still had it. Traded in a fit of stupidity for an O/U 12 gauge. Oh well, such is life.

 

[NelsB85]

Remington 7600 .270. Given to me by my dad when I started hunting at 12. I still carry it every year for hunting whitetails.

The first rifle I carried in the deer woods still lives in my cabinet. An older R700 in 6mm Remington. It has put a fair amount of meat in the freezer but not for me that year as a 12 year old boy is very prone to "buck fever"

The first rifle I took a deer with was a loaner Remington 760 in .243. My uncle had tagged out and my dad was morally opposed to me carrying the 30-30 with a peep sight like I wanted to.

He ultimately bought me a 7600 in 243, screwed the trigger up trying to lighten it and I sent that down the road.

The 6mm was handed down by my grandfather to me and it's mostly a safe queen, now but it was there to ultimately take my first buck which is a cool thing I just remembered as I typed that.
