Your first deer rifle?

[dchum]

I shot my first deer (little 8 point) with a rem700 in 22-250. No idea what ammo my dad was feeding that rifle. I remember it dropped as I hit the buck very high. The rifle was too heavy and long for me. So my dad got me a youth model rem700 in 243 and it had a Nikon scope. Man I hunted hard with that little gun.

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.

My first rifle, purchased in 1983, was a marlin 336cs lever action in 35 Remington. Awesome rifle. Small, lightweight. Have taken many whitetail deer with it. Still my fav and my go to.
