Rem 700 in a McMillan with a US Optics scope on a tri pod.

Too much to lug for the places I get to hunt.

I hate to be a trouble maker, but I think we can all agree that the perfect deer rifle depends heavily on the hunting technique being employed, what the presentation of the deer will be and the expected distance to targets.

If I'm hunting on a treestand in the thic swamp waiting for a deer to run by ahead of the dogs, I might want a 10gauge Shotgun with some 000 buck.

whereas, If I'm hunting in a large box stand over a pipeline that gives me 1000 yards of view in two directions, I might choose a heavy barreled bolt action.

Can we narrow this down?

Otherwise, I'm gonna grab my new DPMS 260-L with 129Grn Hornady SSTs topped with a Weaver 3x10x40 Tactical Grand SLam. Maybe not the best for any one scenario but will excell in all roles.

I agree.

This is my long range deer set up. 500yd shot when it's clear.

Typical that this girl stepped out 30yds away on Sunday morning.

Where's the GPS and satellite TV?

There was no room for the satellite TV once the mini bar was installed. I don't need GPS since I get 3G service on my Iphone.

A friend of mine's 9 year old killed his 1st buck (2nd deer) with one shot at 315 yards. I think he has a contender for the ultimate deer rifle. Dad got the shot on video. http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=16anypl&s=7

His first deer was a doe he killed last week at 305 yards with the same rifle.

Kinda thought this rifle was one of the ultimate deer rifles. I think more deer have prob. been taken with it.

 

[Uncle John]

There are good deer rifles and bad deer rifles, short range deer rifles and long range deer rifles, light ones heavy ones scoped ones and ironsigted ones, tricked out ones and simple ones ....but there aint no perfect one...sometimes you get close.

 

[lsu fan]

The perfect deer rifle is the one you have in your hands the moment you squeeze that trigger and watch your prey fall in your sights. Even if it's an old "Rust Bucket."

 

[bayoucellar]

In my opinion, a .270 is the best all around caliber for deer hunting. There is not an animal in North American that cannot be stopped with a .270. I hunt with 300 Weatherby mag. Why, I dunno know, just feels right. All that being said, I would venture to say that more deer have been killed in the US with a Winchester 30-30 than any other rifle. It was the weapon of choice in the early days of hunting and is still a favorite of many deer hunters.

Some of these setups make me think what is the point? Might as well be sitting at home watching the hunt through a video camera.

 

[Sin-ster]

+1 to the last two posts.

Too much cartridge out of too much gone does not appeal to me at all.

No disrespect meant here......

hopefully we have not fallen to call this " hunting "

Don't get me wrong, I'd do it if I could afford it, but for me its a climbing stand and an AK...on not so public land

 

[Barney88PDC]

So being setup on a pipeline with the equipment to be able to take shots out to 600 because he practices and has the gear to do it is not hunting. WTF hand.

Agreed most people do not have the gear to make shots at that range. And if you handed them the gear they wouldn't know what to do with it. But thinking hunting with an AK in a climber is more of a challenge than what this guy is doing?

I apologize if I am way off base here but WOW.

Hunting is hunting period in a tree with an AK, bow ect. Or on a mountain top with optics and the caliber to take 1000+ yard shots. What it comes down to is what is a challenge and seems exciting to you. Sitting in a tree with the max shot of 100ish yards is not my personal opinion of a good time. IMO I am not hunting I am waiting to see if a deer shows up. Now start stretching out to shots and that increases the difficulty and thus the challenge to me personally.
