Your first deer rifle?

[hoooogan]

Hoping to secure tags for my first deer season. Better late than never, right? If all goes well, I'll be using a Browning XBolt Max SPR in 6.5CM topped with a VX3HD 3.5-10x50 and SiCo 46M can in chode mode.

Happy to confirm this is in fact my first deer rifle. Didn't get a trophy by any means, but I got meat in the freezer for the first time in my life, the evening before I turned 38.

My first deer rifle was a Marlin 30-30 and I added a Simmons Whitetail scope to it. Bought it for $170.00. It was the first firearm purchase when I turned 18. Still a go-to gun depending where I'm hunting.

Remington Model 700 Mountain Rifle in 280 Remington. I worked by ass off as a teen to get it in 1995. It is still my main rifle. It has killed the shit out of everything it has ever shot. Zero need to change.

Browning BLR 270 WSM Lever Action - should have never sold - was cool.

Got to pick whatever I wanted for my 12th birthday, and at the time, that was a Remington 700 Mountain in 270 Win with a walnut stock. Put a small gouge in the fore end one of the first times I hunted with it, and I'm sure my dad wanted to skin me. Killed a pile of deer with it and moved on to other things, but I grabbed it out of the safe for nostalgia's sake a couple years ago and killed a great buck.

Can't wait to give my sons the same opportunity when they're old enough, although it's a little sad that Remington probably won't be on the menu at that point.

Guns are to be used. Scratch em, beat em, and send it!
