Rem. 700 in7mm-08, topped with a Vortex Viper 3.5-10x50. It’s a great deer-killing tool. Also partial to a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 7mm-08. Also sporting a 50mm Vortex. Both of those put deer on the ground last year.

Ever shot one with a 375 Win ?

A 6.5 Creed WITHOUT a Hubble Telescope on top, how do you ever kill anything? I struggle with a Sako Finnlight Model 75 in .308 topped with a 2.5-8 Leupold .


I know it doesn’t seem right. Love fixed power not as many being made these days. They’re lighter, brighter, cheaper, and have longer eye relief. You don’t ever worry about where it’s set, just point and shoot. If I had a variable I prob wouldn’t set it above 4x unless I was at the range. Only thing is its a little too much for brush hunting, I’d rather have 2.5x. In those situations I use a 30-30 with a pistol size red dot.

My current favorite is a cheap Remington 710 .30-06 that my dad gave me for Christmas when I was 13 or 14ish......along with a rattle can paint job. With 180gr Remington Core Lokt, it shoots a lot better than it ought to, to be so cheap.
