I have 3 "favorites" and I have killed deer with all 3......each has a specific use.
I have a really sweet Weatherby Mark V "Sporter" in .270 Mag...topped with a Nikon 3-9x40 scope for general use......killed a nice 8pt last week on opening day in MI. with it.
For hunting in thicker brush in a rifle zone,..I have a Ruger M77/44 bolt action carbine in .44mag...also topped with a Nikon 3-9x32 scope. It's a tack driver at 100yds or less.
and for southern MI. (shotgun only) I have a Remington 870 pump in .20ga. that's topped with a 3-9x32 scope.....
The Ruger is a riot to shoot,...fun,..accurate..and relatively inexpensive....but the Weatherby is not a "plinker" with ammo costing @ $60-65 for a box of 20 rds.
Mac... you need to start reloading for that Weatherby.... At $3 a shot that venison is pricey!!!
