Do your research. They made a fine quality custom Mauser 96 Sporter.

Next time you check out the Husky logo you will notice that it is sights on top of a barrel!

Husqvarna has a long history that is rich in tradition. The first Husqvarna plant was established in 1689 as a weapons factory. In the course of the centuries, Husqvarna has produced a large range of different products, including sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles and kitchen equipment.

LOL I knew husqy made guns....but I've never noticed their logo was a barrel and sites! Thanks for the info....more trivia to be stored! LOL

BTW....Stihl chainsaws FTW!

Winchester 70xtr in 30/06 weighs 4lbs slams em

New_2_99"s · 10-27-2009, 06:45 PM

Sentimentally, Pre Mill Savage Model 99C in .308, shooting 150's.
Lots of other rifles to choose from, however, this is the one that my hand gets drawn to.
Prairie hunting, Savage in 25-06.

Whootsinator · 10-27-2009, 08:28 PM

I suppose it'd be my ONLY deer rifle...

Remington 700 in .30-06, 130 gr Core-Lokts.

deadzero · 10-28-2009, 08:06 AM

my Favorite?

well it use to be my Weatherby Vangard classic deluxe in 300 Win. Mag. firing a 165 gr. when i was up north.

but these deer down here are only half that size but there is a buch of em. so I switched. now it is the Remington R-25 in 308, but still using the 165gr.

them little guys are in trouble now.

Kind of reminds me of when I got my first chainsaw and went into the great Sahara forest..........

SightNSqueeze · 10-28-2009, 09:34 AM

Wow, I usually answer these. This one slipped by me. My 1918 built '03 Rock Island Arsenal sporter with the original 24" barrel in .30-06 with a Lyman-Redfield aperture rear sight of course. I have killed deer with 150 grain spitzers and 165 grain N/P bullets.

You may have a long wait for Rem.bullets in 130gr corelokt.I don't see any listing for them and have never seen any.I believe 150gr is as light as they go in corelokt. ,,,sam.

Is the 125 grain Remington offers in .30 a Core-Lokt?

Whootsinator · 10-28-2009, 04:32 PM

My mistake. Remington 'Express Rifle' Pointed Soft Point 125gr .30-06.

sc928porsche · 11-01-2009, 01:30 AM

My favorite deer rifle is the same rifle I use for antelope, elk, moose, and lower 48 bruins. Ruger M77R in 300WM. For the big AK bruins, I have a 378WBY.

RightWingWacko · 11-02-2009, 02:33 PM

My Winchester Lever Action Model 94 - 32 Win Special with open sights.

Small, fairly light and is plenty big enough to drop a deer with one shot.
Perhaps the main reason I prefer this one is that it's the one I first started with.

I've used it for many years, and it has never failed me.

Totally inadaquite for Elk, but for deer...

redrider13 · 11-03-2009, 12:27 AM

Favorite rifle I've killed a deer with-
My Savage Model 10 (Left Handed w/ accutrigger) in .308 win. It shoots great with 150 grain core-lokts with a bushnell elite 3200 on top. Sighted in at 200 yds on the dot.

Favorite gun I WANT to take a deer with-
The M1 carbine I just recently inherited. Bought some softpoints and a 5 round mag. Just waiting on the season to open. Prolly looking at 100 yards max w/ iron sights. Not sure how well I can place a shot/still have bullet energy past 100yds with what is in essence a "brush carbine".

hickorynutk@win · 11-03-2009, 07:27 AM

I like my Arisaka 99 with a hand made walnut thumb hole stock, shoots a Sierra 180 spt with 45 gr. of IMR 4350. Only thing I ever had to shoot twice was a buffalo (bison).

338RUM · 11-03-2009, 08:08 AM

Foreign companies never cease to amaze me! They make everything, HP makes computers and heavy equipment for mining and Kawasaki makes bikes and fighter jets! I wish our companies had that kind of resourcefulness.

deserthobbies · 11-03-2009, 09:04 AM

My Savage 99E in .308 with 150g core lokt ammo. topped with a burris fullfied scope, Knocks um down every time.

cooker300 · 11-03-2009, 10:02 PM

my fav is my dads rem 600 in 308.

my weapon of choice is my rem 700 in 270 shooting the 130 core lok's killed about 8 deer with it.

my new deer rifle's are a rem 7600 in 308 this year will be its 1st season, also my rem 798 in 300 win cant wait to kill deer with both.
