I was told today they may be adding new calibers for the upcoming deer season. Has anyone heard anything about this?

The "May be" ship has sailed. There will be new calibers allowed. Anything .243 and up with a maximum case length is 3" is now legal.

Any interesting rifles you guys going to take out? Going to take my grandpa's early 50's Remington 760 in .270 with an old Weaver fixed 4 power scope probably from same era sitting on top. Could not tell you how many deer and bear that gun brought down. Party tag doe season in Pennsylvania. Most shot driving and herds on 20-30 come running by. He could shoot that gun.

Nothing with any kind of history behind it, but I still need to get a deer with my Winchester 1894 .30-30.

260 Model 7 will likely get most of the time out but the 444P may well get a little use and they aren't all that common

I've waited my whole adult life to be able to use a .25-06 on deer.

I'm still going to use my .450, but I have a 300 Blackout and 30-06 that I'd like to use at some point. I just had a lot of fun shooting deer with the .450.
At some point, I'd like to get a 7mm, and I still don't have a .308.
