This one is the one I've killed my biggest deer with.




Remington 788 with a Douglas XX Stainless semi-varmint barrel chambered in 7mm08. Action is slicked up and trigger set at 3lbs. French walnut stock which is glass bedded and free floated. Has a custom magwell for the 788 mags. Leupold 3-9x50 VariXII in Redfield base and rings. All the rifle work was done by Jim McCullough. It'll put 10 into 3/4" at 100 yards. smile If I do my part.

Been the Marlin 30/30 the past few years. I'll break out the 7mm-08 on special occasions or I hunt the cutover. I got rid of all the magnums years ago.

I hand load for both. I can cover the 30/30 holes with a quarter at 100 yds. I just like to slay 'em old school for some reason. I have a Remington 742 carbine 30/06 I broke out for a little duty also. . Got some 168gr SST's ready for the job.

Heck, Skullworks, tell the truth: That big deer was so dazzled by the pretty wood it just stood there and let you shoot it.
