Here's my luckiest in the the last couple years with two black bears both over seven feet. It's a Rem 673 350 RM.

Great thread. From eye candy to plain Jane, classics to uber modern but all for the hunt!

I tend to cycle rifles




This Nosler Custom Sporter chambered for the 325 WSM was my go to hog thumper for several years.



I've perforated quite an number of porkers with it.



The illuminating reticle on the Leupold scope sure helps at dark-thirty.

Seems like since this rifle followed me home in 2006 I grab it most often when heading out the door. It's a 673 Remington in .350 RM. It may be overkill, but it puts big holes through things and shoots 2-1/4" groups at 340 yrds. on my range. Scope is a 1 3/4 X 6 in QR Mounts.

Sakohunter264, I'd love to hear about your 6.5, what it likes etc. I have it's brother...just starting the wring out phase with it.....

Not Sakohunter, but ne'er-the-less.......


Being the rifle looney that I am, I'm always on the lookout for something I can't live without. I may not know that I can't live without it till I spy it.
Found this one a while back. It had been previously enjoyed in a conscientious manner. The previous owner was nice enough to glass bed the action, free float the barrel, install a Sako extractor in the bolt and do a trigger job.




Remington 673 Guide Gun, 350 Rem. Mag

Never did wring out this rifle, but I did load a couple different load densities. The 58.2 gr. load is what Sierra publishes as their "hunting load" for the 350 Rem Mag. As to recoil, it has a pop, but it was nothing like an unbraked 300 RUM or a 458 Lott.

Here are the second and third groups fired through the rifle after I got it "on paper".





As do many, it followed someone else home a while back.

I luv perforatin' porkers.

Here's one I took just before dark-thirty in the evening with the 350 Rem Mag guide gun.



Hit him at the point of the shoulder with a 225 gr. Sierra spitzer. He just folded.

Not up to my usual standard on the photo, but I put my good camera in the shop for cleaning and left my point and shoot at home. All I had was my cell phone. It does not seem to couple too well in the gloaming.

That would be 42... in dick inches

These are currently my three favorite deer caliber rifles.





Top is an R.W. Hart Custom in 7-08 with a Kahles CL.

Second is a '55 Winchester Model 70 FWT, 270 Win. in a McMillan with a Kahles.

Bottom is a CLR/NULA in 7x57 with a Leica.

I am not yet sure which I will take to Utah this fall for a Mule Deer hunt. I guess whichever one I feel the most comfotable with at the time.

Weight wise, they go from heaviest on top, at 8.5 lbs, to lightest on the bottom, at 7 lbs, with the FWT weighing in at 8 lbs.

Geedub, I load my .350 with 200 gr Horn spire pts and a starter dose of TAC for 2725 fps for Whitetails. It shoots that easily under an inch @ 100. On the farm I have a makeshift range maxed at 340 yrds and the same recipe will shoot 2.15-2.25 at 340. We have run the 200 TSX up to 2925 with TAC and good accuracy...but the Elk didn't cooperate.

A couple of years ago a 673 6.5 followed me home. Last year I hastily scoped it before Deer Season and the second load with 125 NPT went into .800 @ 100 at a sedate 2900 so it went hunting with that. Lots of load work to do but I expect to see 3000 with 130's...albeit the 125 load feels like a .260 at the shoulder and thats hardly a bad thing.

In my mind for a factory rig in odd chamberings...the 673's want to shoot.....

Didn't realize we had so many model 600 fans on the fire:) I'll put up a couple more - rifle on the left is a lightly used 6.5MM mag, this was one of my dad's guns but nobody ever liked shooting it much!! Rifle on the right was my mother-in-laws and she was kind enough to give it to me!! Its an early production .308. Neat little rifles.

Kimber in 260 Rem.

Winchester FW in 280 Rem. Yes it has the thin red pad.

7mm Winchester With Legend Edge stock

240wby. Mark V ultralight

Barb wire fence...

Hunted outta Shawmut one year, damn there were alotta deer hung up in fences..

My favorite: Rem 660 Mohawk rebarreled with a 20" 7mm-08 Rem takeoff barrel, full-length bedded, Duracoated matte black, aluminum bottom metal, Conetrol rings/bases with Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x.

Soft shooting, accurate and easy to carry!

Very cool!
