Share your deer rifle!

Well, it’s time to start thinking about applications and what to take hunting. I think it’s over due to pull the 243ai out of retirement. It’s been a great rifle and I love hunting with a single shot. It’s a 1-7 twist and it shoots the Berger 115’s pretty well. Is this year the year for single shots? And what are you guys planning on hunting with?

270 win seems made for copper. 6.8 isn’t too different from 6.5 performance wise.
