I have used my ole trustee Rem 243 Model 788 for years. It's topped with a Redfield 10 x scope..Also use a Winchester Model 43 218 bee or a Winchester model 43 22 hornet.  I used the 22 hornet from the age of 12 up till I entered the military. Got my deer ewvery year with it and only one shot.. You just pick your shot.

1" groups at 450 yards with a .270 and 3x9 scope? Really?

Better hope the wind ain't blowin....WF

Remington 700 CDL 30-06. Never trade that gun for anything. I have an 870 Express 20 ga, but the thing kicks like mule and I hate to shoot it.

smith wesson 44 mag. no scope
retired my rem. model 760 in 280 cal.
but still have.

Browning a-bolt 270 wsm did the job on a nice little 8 point today.

Buddy of mine had a 44 Mag Super Blackhawk, man that thing was a handful with the stock grips.
He put pachmyers on it and it settled down a little...

Spartansburg has out to 500 yards.  And on one calm day out there, I saw a guy with more experience and equipment and talent than any one I've ever seen shoot.  He was the extreme as far as preparation for accuracy!  I learned more about long range shooting from him in an hour than all the reading I had done.  His average group that day was about 3 inches at 500.  He was not completely happy with that, but that was what the gun he was working with was capable of right then.  He had 3000 into it.  He planned on a little more load developement and said the barrel was still a little to fresh. I know there are guns that can preform with unreal accuracy and there are scopes to match.  But they cost and are not as easy to set up as some think.  I don't know what the Zeis scope he had cost, but I know it is more than I can spend. I would love to see a 1" group at 500 yards...it would be fun.  I'll bring my quad for target retrieves.

A vintage(1920's) Savage 99 in .300 Savage. I've been using this rifle for 38 years, bought it when I was 12 for $75, it has put a bunch of bone on the wall and only killed 1 doe. I will only use it until something better comes along!

I shoot a Remington m700 mountain rifle in 7mm-08. It's topped with a bushnell elite 3-9x40 scope.
