Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Pick your North America big game battery.

Since we cover the whole scale of game, I'll pick 3 that I have to cover the whole range:

1. Savage 22LR Mark II BV with a Leupold 2x7 scope.
for squirrels, rabbits, etc
Rifle- because it is (1) accurate (2)pretty
Scope- dependable, right size.

2. Savage 116 SS/Syn 300wsm with a Leup VX6 3-18x50 Firedot CDS
for everything larger than rabbits and smaller than brown bear
SS/Syn because it's what I prefer.
300wsm because it does the job nicely, more than needed for much North American big game, but I'm ok with that.
Scope- CDS for long shots. firedot for low light shots.

3. Nosler M48 Outfitter 375ruger with VX-3L 3.5-10x50 CDS
for grizzly/brown bear and other big animals.
Synthetic stock and cherakote barrel for hunting in cold, wet weather.
Scope choice- sometimes a longer shot is necessary.
QR mounts- for when/if it's necessary.
