Paul: I own a 6.5x55 sporterized mauser too. It is a heck of a gun with no recoil. I got it for my son, but I have used it more then my son. Gene. |

In these hills around our area, it's hard to beat a good lever gun....30-30 or 444 ! It's rare to get more than 75~100yd shot unless your on one of these big strip jobs. Here is a big 'Ol Buck George took with dad's 444 Marlin at close to 100yds -

I remember that hunt like it was yesterday, dad 444 shure dune the job. That was one of the biggest bodied deer i have ever seen, but when I pulled the trigger you would have thought he had been hit by a truck.

Jared, in my opinion, for everything fom coyote's to deer, the .270 is a great caliber. I've killed a few deer with a .270 I used to have. I have no experience with the WSM caliber's, but have heard good thing's abouy them. As far as just a deer caliber, it's hard to beat the trusty ol' .30-.30, especially in the area you and I live in. And the LEVERevolution cartridge's from Hornady are a great load for the .30-.30, and extend's it's range really good. |

Shannon I would say that 30/30 has killed more deer for sure in my area than any other gun I have the 30/30 94 winchester that was my Dad's it is more of an air loom I think I will be pleased with my 270. TIM |

My .30-.30 is a Marlin 336, but those Winchester 94's are some very good gun's, I'd like to have one myself. A ..44 mag leveraction is also a good deer/hog gun in area's like this, and would be a fine black bear caliber when hunting with dog's, I imagine. |

I have owned some marlin 336 I let them go but I love a lever gun. The 336 marlin is a good gun I know a guy in my area that has a 94 winchester made in 1902 their is a web sight you can google winchester 94 and type in the serial number and find out the year it was made. TIM |
