Jim, it's like you read my mind. i'll rummage around and see if my hunting gun has a digital facsimile...

[wvfarrier]

Sadly, front and rear labrum surgery in 2 weeks gas poo poo'ed my entire season this year. But, I had planned to use my S&W 610 this year

[barbarossa]

For this years season I ll be taking out these.Hopefully I ll get my buck using one of them.It s just too bad I can only use one at a time LOL

[JBowen]

This honor goes to my BB 94 .375 Winchester this year. Here it is a few days ago at the range. This one is top eject and I put a Williams FP receiver sight on because I can’t see irons very good anymore.

It will also get to hunt in the new Alternative Firearms season that is replacing our Muzzleloader Season.

These 3 will see woods time! I'm loving the 270Win, but hard to best my Mod 64 for hunting!

And the CZ 22lr is never a mistake. 2 hunts already, 2 squirrel meals!

[LeverGunner]

Some very nice firearms being shown here.

I reckon I'll primarily use my Winchester 92 44 Magnum for deer this year. I got it last year, but it went back for a couple issues and was gone during season.



I've not taken a deer with a handgun yet, though I've hunted some with my 44 Special Blackhawk. Last year I passed on a nice spike, and didn't have a chance the rest of the season.



I got this Marlin 1894 357 Magnum a little while back and might just use it a few days too. I'm going to change sights I think, so there is that, but just an evening of shooting. We'll see.

[LeverGunner]

Let’s see your hunting guns for the upcoming season!

What caliber is your 1895? Very nice combo.

[OldWin]

Probably these will make an appearance. I haven't been using my old original Winchesters as much for hunting the last few years, but anything is possible.

[LeverGunner]

Nice. The bolt gun on case is mighty classy.

Is that bottom gun on the rack the 64 of which you speak? I thought that 64s all had pistol grips.

The bottom one. It's a 1971 NRA Centennial Model, which also in 72 & 73 were Mod 64a. It's for sure became my favorite rifle!
I had wanted an original pre64 Mod 64 most my life. When this came about I jumped on it, sure glad I did. It's just an outstanding rifle in every way for me hunting only in these mountains, and was already a 30wcf devout! Here it is with my deer Nov 2023.

Very nice. What caliber for the 95, and what make and caliber for the international stocked bolt gun?

Let’s see the Mannlicher Schoenauer MC 6.5x54 MS with an older Leupold Vari XII 4-12 on top

IMG_2402.jpeg

. Think I have nine different bullets I wanna try this season . My Mannlicher Schoenauer MC 7x57 with handloaded Nosler 140 BT or Hornady 139 SST’s .

IMG_2428.jpeg

. My Parker DH 8 gauge with vintage factory load of 0 buck was loaded in the 30’s supposedly with a backup handload of buck in the left barrel in case the factory fails to ignite .

IMG_2336.jpeg

. The second of a pair of Parker EH 10 gauge 28” guns choked cylinder and lite full . It’ll have a home cast slug or punkin ball in the right barrel and vintage 0 buck in the left barrel .

IMG_4547.jpeg

IMG_5304.jpeg

IMG_5305.jpeg

. And finally a Remington 700 BDL stainless synthetic that was 300 WSM and I rebarreled to 6.5 Sherman Short Magnum . The case was based on the Remington SAUM case sides straightened a bit , given an Ackley shoulder and necked down . Velocity achieved with this thing was almost 200 FPS faster than the 6.5 PRC I had shooting over my Chrony with same weight projectiles . I’ve already killed a deer using it with a Hornady 143 E-LDX and have three other bullets I wanna give a try in the rifle . Sorry to say no pics on my phone of that one . Of course during ML I’ll be using the Remington 700 Ultimate ML 50 cal with Hornady 250 rubber tipped .450” pushed with 64.5 grains of H4198 .

So far this year…

[Griff]

If, and it's a big IF I go, there'll be room for:

20230817_110838 (003).jpg

which still needs to be tuned for 200 yards and 1st taste, plus I can hardly leave behind my favorite

tang sight.JPG

and probably this one... although it has already taken a coyote this year

37574.JPG

But... it's still a huge "if" I can catch up on truck repairs to go. Nothing major... just seems like a grand here, 2K for that or 4K for these other things... none of which seem to crop up when I'm home and can do the repairs myself...

[Scott Tschirhart]

Very nice everyone! Looks like there’s quite a bit of variety here (except for Jim).

I can only imagine, but it must be hard to change after success.

Bowen 45 Colt.jpg

I recognize Bowen’s work and I’m a little jealous.

[Scott Tschirhart]

I just wish I was better about this. Jim actually has the right idea.

[Bill in Oregon]

I sure envy you guys, and wish you productive seasons. Haven't hunted in several years now. Very strange, as I started hunting as a kid. Plan to resume it when I move back to New Mexico: quail and elk.

[veeman]

Winchester Crazy Horse 38/55

or..
OM 41 Mag

[Streetstar]

If i am to take any game this year, let it be with a levergun -- pictured is my 45 Colt SRC, but my 30/30 looks almost exactly the same since they are both AE model 94's

[AJMD429]

.
The 35 Remington (Marlin 336) is needing a turn, but I always default to a 44 Mag (Marlin 1894, scoped Ruger 96/44 dawn/dusk, or Ruger 77/44 rain/snow) at some point too.

We have an extended crop-damage permit thing this year so can start hunting Sept 14 through January, and that will be odd.

I might even use something 'different' like an AR in 300 Blackout or 50 Beowulf, just cuz I can...

https://buckmasters.com/Hunting/Hunting ... er-hunters

Still illegal here to use a 444 Marlin which seems so silly...

[Grizz]

And the 45/70 ! But naturally the 30-06, a 500+ M sniper weapon, with a 2+ mile range, is legal.

Obviously public safety is not a goal of the hunting regs, eh?

[Grizz]

Let’s see your hunting guns for the upcoming season!

Next time I go hunting this is it. Set up by a gunsmith for 45 Super >

And this is the ammo assortment >

45 Super_measured response.jpeg

The 255 penetrated thru 64 inches of gel, a measure of momentum.

And this is the function test with 240 Ball >

[Scott Tschirhart]

No doubt!!!!

[Scott Tschirhart]

I am going to try and shoot a doe with my Skeeter load in my short .44 Special this year.

[barbarossa]

I ll be taking out my Bernardelli Italia and my Greener GPout for birds and rabbits this year

[LeverGunner]

So far this year…

Beautiful gun, birds, and photography. What kind of birds are those? We don't have any grouse around here, occasionally we have quail, but have fallen off quite a bit since I was a kid.

[2ndovc]

Now that I'm back out and surround by farmland, if I get the chance I'll try and connect with a white tail and my .38-55. The Bowen .44 always goes along, though not entirely legal in OH to carry two firearms during deer season.

[Paladin]

These are my normal meat collectors.
An AR-10 for larger longer distance targets.

AR10 002.jpg

A Styer Model 69 (without the 6-power Kahe scope mounted). I have never had to fire more than one round on a live target with this.

[Scott Tschirhart]

Looks like you have all the bases covered.

[Woodsloafer2]

The 95 is 405 and the other is a international stocked Winchester 54 in 30-06. Sorry for the late reply. Been away a couple days.

[jkbrea]

Rem 03A3, Sig Cross in 6.5 Creedmoor, Tikka 30-06, and Marlin 45-70.
I got them all sighted in last week. The 03A3 was hitting steel out to 500 yards. The rest are all sub moa with the Sig punching three 3 shot groups too tight to measure! One hole! I got it for antelope but didn't draw.....but I have three elk tags

20240911_153605.jpg

[2ndovc]

My first centerfire rifle was/ is a Remington 03A3. Five hundred yard targets weren't hard to do with that rifle. Can't see as well I used to, but if I concentrate on what I'm doing, I can still pull it off.
One of my favorite hunting rifles is my grandfather's custom 03 and I have two others that were also turned into sporters.

Good stuff!

Ruffed Grouse. I’ve even busting a bunch this fall, both Ruffed and Blues…

[Shrapnel]

I’ve had this Sharps for years and finally found a smokeless load that shoots great. I need to kill something with it this fall…

[Ray]

That tastefully posed foto of the sharps reminds of mister keith's writings.....

I think that is his brother to his right with the family .25-35.

Looks a mite chilly.
