I hope to get a deer with every caliber of Model 8. I've already got a couple with a .35. My .300 Savage Model 8 has a repair code suggesting it is a factory conversion.

150 grn Grand Slam handload at 60 yards. It dropped her on the spot. She has thick backstraps and the about the prettiest hide I've seen on a deer.

Way to go! It is great to get an old rifle back in the woods and harvest a deer. Nicely done, congratulations.

I plan to try and repeat my Iowa hunt from two years ago. In Iowa, one must use a 35 or larger caliber though. I will be pursuing the same quarry, as my tag is for an antlerless only. Spikes are considered antlerless, so just does or spike bucks.

That is awesome!! Great photo too

Thanks!

Indiana used to have a .35 law but it went away. Hunting with an old classic really makes a hunt fun. It did mean not getting a nice buck that I would have shot with my normal scoped rifle but hopefully one of my sons will get him. I'm looking forward to seeing how she tastes. Even though I have other pelts I'm getting hers tanned. Too pretty not to.
