I tried liking the G23, couldn't get there with it. Sold it to a friend and bought a P229, then traded that on a P320. I also have a P365 that is my EDC, and a Sig 1911 stainless in .40.
I think maybe that there is some misunderstanding here. It sounds as if the OP is concerned by Trump's policies, and someone PM'd him to express their own concerns. At least, that's the way I read it.
OP, while it's certainly your choice of where you spend your time, I would encourage you to...
I don't know if it's still on sale, but recently Midway had the Fullfield E1 6.5-20x50 on sale for $179, regular $299. I jumped on that for my new 6.5 CM Franchi.
Brad, I think that's what my son has on his 7mag. I know it's a Diamondback 4-16x42, but not sure about the rest. It is a FFP scope, I know that. I can check it out and see if that's the exact model easy enough.
Yes, those MS actions are slick. I have an early 60's MCA model in .30-06, which I purchased from the estate of my sister-in-law's father. He bought it when he was stationed in Germany, then brought it home to Alaska where he used it extensively. My SIL said it was his favorite rifle, and he had...
OP, if you haven't done it already, get yourself a trigger spring kit from MCarbo for your Browning. Really made a difference on my X-bolt. It's as good as my son's Tikka or the Timney in my Mauser. And it's only about $15.

Wow, that's a sucky time for ML. After the Orange Army has stomped around the woods for a week or two, the deer are skittish and often nocturnal. Here in KY, there's about a 3-week break between the end of rifle season and the beginning of ML. Allows things to settle down a bit.
With my .243, I have taken deer with the 100gr Sierra GameKing, 95gr Nosler BT, and 85gr Sierra GKHP. With my loaner rifle, my young lady friend has killed 5 using the 100gr Federal Power Shock soft point. When my kids were young, they killed several using 100gr Remington CoreLokt.
Can't help you with the Rossi, but my friend has a Henry 44 mag and he kills deer regularly with it. Three this fall, IIRC. He's using 300gr XTP hand loads.
So, a little post-butchering update:
The doe was quartering to at about 30-35 yards when I shot. The bullet smashed the left front shoulder, traveled diagonally thru the body cavity, passed thru the right haunch, and stopped under the hide on the right rear leg. I don't have the carcass to...
