5 Classic Deer Rifles That Are Still American Made Staples
2020-04-24
[Wide Open Spaces] These five timeless rifles will probably always have a place in deer hunting. Your grandfather's generation was introduced to some of the finest deer hunting rifles ever made.

These five classic deer rifles have a near perfect blend of form and functionality. The power and reliability of these accurate rifles like the Winchester Model 70 or the German-made Mauser M98 are hard to beat even by today's standards.

They were quite simply the best hunting guns put to market in those times, and they jumped off the store shelves during North American deer seasons.

And if your grandpa owned one of these guns, and passed it down to you, consider yourself lucky. While they may not all be worth a lot today, they can still take down big game just as good as they did last century.

#2  I had a pre-1965 Model 70 stolen from me and hocked for $200
I don’t need to say what that wonderfully accurate weapon was worth
Sad day when I found out it was gone and too late to redeem
