Western Oregon, where the amount of cover means extreme-range shots are
rare. It's a handy little round, easier on smaller game than the

This is very odd, but my first high-power rifle was a .30-30. lever
action. Bagged my first deer with it. Open sights, kicked like a mule,
low-velocity, but I still like that gun.
The.243 is a decent hunting rifle too, but I think I prefer the.06.
My problem is I'm getting old enough that shooting without a scope is a chore.

I haven't hunted since high school, and never bagged a deer then, so I don't
have a "First Deer" gun. :-/

I inherited my dad's 06 with a very nice scope. I also married a woman who
hates hunting, so I don't know when it will ever draw blood again. Pity, my
dad put some tasty venison on our table with it.
