Weapon Of Choice
<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Originally posted by: mtnhiker19
Well I'm 34 and have never been deer hunting, but ii'm going for the first time in a few weeks... i would say it depends on the location and the quarry.... Here are some of my personal favorites to shoot, all of which are great deer hunting calibers
My personal favorite is a .308 win, also like the lever action .44 mag, 7mm mag, 30.06 and the killer of them all 3030
We are going up in the deep NGA mountains so it looks like the lever action 44 will be my first choice as i'd be lucky to have a shot over 75yds</end quote></div>
Have you tried the LeveRevolution ammo yet? I want to get some for my .44 Mag Winchester 94 Trapper model. So far I haven't seen it in the stores but I forgot to check at the last gun store I went to and haven't been to the 2 stores most likely to have it.

No I have not.... I don't personally own the lever .44 mag YET. It's one of my best friends who had a gun smith in the family who he inherited about 250 guns from. I'm in the process of designing him a vault over at his place so he can keep all of them safe. I will have have my choice of any 2 guns, well most any, in the collection. The lever action .44mag is my first pick!!!

Weapon Of Choice
Since the thread title says WEAPONS and not hunting tools, I have to say the best weapon I have is probably one of my AR-15s. That's the only kind of gun I have a 100-round magazine for so that makes it my choice if the SHTF. <u>If</u> I can get to it in time. My house gun Is a Para double-wide .45 loaded with Cor-Bon +P Pow'RBalls. 550 FT/LBS of ME means it's more powerful than a typical .357 Magnum, but with fatter heavier bullets. Right now there's a fighting knife with a 7" blade near my right hand. That will have to do until I get to the .45. My favorite shotgun is my Remington Sportsman 12 Auto which is the same as a Model 1100 but cost less because it's not pretty. I cut 9-10" off the barrel and made it into a 7-shot riot gun with a pistol grip stock.
