What Are You Carrying This Year?

[Rick Teal]

I just finished getting my guns and ammo together for my firearms moose and deer hunts, and lo and behold my primary gun is my Remington 760 carbine in 30-06, and my back-up/sometimes gun is my BAR in .308.  Both are topped with red dots, which are almost as quick as open sights in the terrain I hunt, and are much friendlier to my old eyes.
 
What are you taking with you this fall?

[zacharoo]

A model 14 remington 30 remington pump with a 4x leupold mounted. Remington brass remington primers 30 grains of IMR 3031 under Hornady 150 grain RN bullets.

I am going to hunt deer for the first time with the AR. I tradded my Colt A2 fixed cary handle for a Bushmaster with a removable cary handle.
 
I ordered a Nikon 223 scope, fixed 3X power and the matching mount from Cabelas.
 
This weekend I hope to get the scope mounted and get out to the range. I will use this gun on stand only and for doe shooting.
 
I have ammo to get started with but will order some 60 grain Federal Nosler Partitions for hunting.
 
I will use my 7600 35 carbine or 35 Whelen rifle for drives or when hunting where bears might be encounted.
 
In the spring I am going on a bait bear hunt in New Brunswick. I am thinking of my 673 in 350 rem mag or Marlin guide gun in 45/70. I have time to decide.

Probably a Remington 7600 synthetic 243 with 4x m-8 Leupold and Barnes ammo with 80 grain Barnes TTSX ammo for the first one and then going to try a CZ 527 223 with 60 grain Federal Partitions and a leupold 2.5 x with heavy duplex.
