After talking with the guys that are gonna take me, they said each one they've taken the past few years has been under 100 yards. I figured I'd go old school with iron sights. I have three rifles I could go with.

1. Garand
2. Enfield
3. Swiss K31

I had forgotten about the K31 and figured I'd go with the Garand, but would take them both out to the range and see which one does better at 100 yards and if I would be good enough at 100 yards myself. Then I remembered the K31. Then I remembered I didn't have any ammo for it after I shot up the only two 20-round boxes I bought when I acquired it 5 years ago. Wow! I thought it was only 2-3 years ago, but just checked. Anyway, I've been looking for ammo for it for a couple months now and finally found some online at Target Sports last night and ordered 100 rounds.

I'd really like the Enfield to be the better rifle with iron sights at 100 yards. It was my Father in Laws and he never hunted with it. However, I'll be happy if I'm good enough with either of the three to be sure I'll do right for the deer if I get my shot.
If what I saw at the Cabela’s here in town is any indication, you shouldn’t have any problem getting 30.06, there was plenty on the shelf.

Good luck in the woods this year :)

Re: AMMO. Buying, selling or nothing

Was at League City Cabela’s and saw that there was a lot more rifle ammo on the shelves, and some handgun. There was no .223/5.56 at all, nor was there any 9mm, .380, .40 or .45.

Plenty of .25 ACP and .44 mag though.

Re: AMMO. Buying, selling or nothing

Ammo seems pretty scarce, that's for sure. My son and I built my first AR earlier this year, and I was not able to find 5.56/.223 at all locally (Cabela's, Academy). I did get lucky and was able to buy a case of 55gr M193 IMI from Midway for a reasonable price (44¢/rd), and was pleasantly surprised that it arrived in three days. About the only rifle ammo I saw in stock was .22LR and 25-06. Handgun cartridges were cleaned out as well, though I think .44 mag was on the shelf at the time.
