Doubt you could haul the game killed with this one in a large dumptruck. ADL 270. Have you Re-jeweled the bolt ? I had an ADL that was about the MOST accurate of all that I've had. Jerry

I have a soft spot for this 721 my dad gave me. Dropped it into a takeoff 700 stock a couple years back. It's an '06 but I've always wanted to have it bored out to 338-06. And this 77 in 280 has been as dependable as I could ever want, although most of the time anymore it sits in a boat paddle instead of the wood. This one has been getting more and more fun though, one of the superlights in 7-08. But maybe I should use this more? My daughters Model 7 that she insisted I paint for her when she was 6. It's pretty classy....

Current caribou rifle (last 3 years), A M98 with 27" .30-06 "Finnish sniper barrel" from Sportsman's guide to replace the original but ruined .270 bbl. When I fired for group last fall before hunting, the first two went a bullet diameter apart vertically, but not centered to aim point. Two clicks on the Leupold VXIII 3.5-10 centered the third round to point of aim horizontally, and directly between the first two vertically. At 300 yards. I've posted that one before, so won't again here. Proceeded to kill 3 caribou shortly after at about 150, 290, and a ranged 433. Seems to work. Was gonna go out and shoot a t least 3 rounds today just for grins, but chill factor was pushing -20. I'm not that desperate yet..... : Off subject, but here is a recent sunrise I've been meaning to post somewhere....

Jerry Jerry, I have not touched the rifle or it's zero since I bought it in 1985, on sale for ~$200, other than to hunt with it. It was my first centerfire. It is in my Son's posession now.

One of my favorite walking, vermin extinguishing rifle's; Ruger tang safety RSI, .243, 18.5" barrel in a B&C stock(original Mannlicher on the shelf). Has the first "real" scope I ever bought; 1986 gloss Leupold VARI-X III, 2.5-8 x36. Gun is a good shooter, though a bit loud, as this coyote at 249yds can attest.

A pic(or two) of your favorite hunting rifle from the last few years. In keeping with the guidelines, which apparently others have a hard time following (grin), here's a couple pics of my favorite hunting rifle (singular) from the last few years; Kimber MT 308 Win:
