Hunting your first deer with a rifle that’s over 100 years old? That’s exactly what I’m doing. In this video, I explain why I chose this century-old U.S. M1917 Enfield as my first deer rifle — covering its fascinating history, how I’ve set it up, and why it’s still a serious hunting tool today.

I’ll walk through the M1917’s role in WWI and WWII, its reputation for accuracy, why the .30-06 chambering is still perfect for deer, and the setup I’m using for hunting season. If you’re curious about milsurp rifles, vintage guns for hunting, or just want to see why an antique rifle can still shine in the field, this video is for you.
