Go to deer rifle

Old Mauser in 257 Roberts Timney trigger 2.5 power weaver Alaskan scope weighs 5 lbs! 100’grain nosler bullets!

Love that round too just not very popular any more.
Used to be super popular.

My buddy has an old remington 770 I believe in that caliber and never misses and drops them right where they stand.
I scored a mint remington 700 in .257 Bob a couple years ago but it was such a fine example I didn’t have the heart to put it through the rigors that I put my hunting rifles through so I sold it to a very good home as part of someone’s very large collection of 700’s.
 
It's a toss up between the 700 .243 and my sledgehammer(savage 7 mag). I've killed more deer with the 700 but I've killed bigger deer with the sledgehammer. I'm more comfortable and confident carrying either of those than any other gun
7 Mag deer hunting will cause your blood trailing skills to wane.
