Picked up this '57 Winchester 1894 (30-30) off Gunbroker about 8 months ago for a song. Not sure about the history of the rifle, but at some point, an owner inscribed his initials on the top right corner of the receiver (G.L.) I'm supposing this was one of his favorite rifles and possibly the original owner. Similar condition rifles were selling for 200-250 more (without initials), so I said what the hell, can't go wrong. It's all original finish, with few imperfections. I figured G.L. might be "good luck". Seems to group well off hand and the trigger is great for what it is. It's a keeper.

Hunting rifle set ups
- Thread starter MRH
- Start date
After all the very nice setups I've picked up on here and the other sites over the last 8 years, I've finally settled on my favorite and definite "keeper". M77 MKII laminate/stainless in the always reliable 30-06 caliber. Took my biggest buck to date with it last season, so it's become my "go to" rig in the woods..........
My 1969 Remington 700 bdl .30-06 is still my go to, has been for years now. However my new bad weather rifle is going to be my suppressed Arsenal Sam7SF rifle. It’s all camo now not black.
Cabin fever is setting in man. Here are a few for your viewing pleasure.

, these two deer came off of Ft Perry WMA, down near your place. We’ll be back down there again for another youth quota hunt this season with any luck. We found a bunch of persimmon trees that the deer were absolutely hammering!

- You killed a pine tree with your 7600 06? How'd it taste? Or was that a trophy hunt?
Remington 7400 in 30/06
Savage Hog Hunter .223
Last 3 are an AR10
We are rather selective in our timber “harvest” It was rather tough. Must have been a really old tree on the decline. Needed a lot more salt!
Seriously though, that tree got plowed into by a doe on her “dead run” after being introduced to a 220gr Core Lokt bullet.
I did the same. Had to keep my crossbow killing machine though. Killed 6 with it my first year last year.Unfortunately my deer thumper collection was downsized to pay for a house.
