Gun of choice for deer this year?


Recommended Posts

Oh man, that brings back memories. Had a 721 in 300 H&H way back in the late 50's in AK. That was a very nice shooting gun, just the way it was, without a scope or any accessories. Smooth recoil, accurate enough, and in the 300H&H it was a pretty handy tool for tramping the woods and tundra.

Too basic, plain and simple for today's huntin' guys I'm afraid, but one helluva dependable rifle. And Egads...when was the last time you heard anybody mention a 300 H&H magnum. But it was a SERIOUS cartridge.

Browning 300 mag semi auto for me.

My son who is 10 will be using his new .270!

How does your son do with his .270. He's shooting a youth model I am guessing? Thinking that I will be getting a .270 for my son next year as he should be grown enough to handle the recoil and not be afraid of the gun. He's throwing lead downrange with a .243 this year.

most manufactures offers low recoil for the .270. i've had a chance to shoot sum 115gr and they have about the same kick as a .243 IMO. maybe lil more but not by much

you could pick up the .270 now, used low recoil rounds until he's a lil bigger and then jump up to reg rounds.

that way he'll have more time with the gun and there's not much in North America a .270 wont take dwn

sidenote,

i built a remi BDL 700 .243, had it for yrs. hand loaded with 105 Noslers partitions nvr had a problem taking dwn a deer.

a lil on the heavy side but it wrked great for yotes/prairie dogs w 60gr ballistic rnds =D

man do i miss that gun, shouldve nvr sold it. smh

Yep, going to SW Wisconsin for 6 days by myself, should be wild. I will be bringing a gun my grandfather gave to me, an original Remington A303 .30-06 with peep sight for up to 100YD, it's killed many a deer. I am also bringing my buddies Remington 7mm Mag for those long shots if I set up by a field. Shooting cheap 'ol core-loks in both, 150grain because it's hard to find anything else for the 7mm where I live!

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
