My first deer rifle was built by my Dad 8mm Mauser. Still have it still looks, and shoots great. I dont use it anymore but started my wife out with it for one year just to see if she liked deer hunting. It was the first time I shot it in about twenty five years. Five shots 100 yards right in the bull. Could not believe it.

First one was when I was no older than 10. I used a .223 and hit a little deer from 350-400 yards. Hit him in the spine and dropped him. He did require finishing off though.
Used the .223 a few more times, then and since, been using dad's Winchester Model 70, .270 Win. which is to thank for all our trophies. |

44 Magnum
In my opinion, nothing finer inside of 100 yards. Now outside of 100 yards, it works great if you can figure out the hold over. |

1973 when I was a skinny 12-year-old kid. Winchester 94 in .30-30, paid for by a summer of baling hay on the farm.
