A new favorite picked up from Whittaker's. Marlin XS7 stainless 7mm-08 with Leupold VX-2 3x9x40. Really enjoyed carrying this rifle. Will probably change the scope to a 6x36. image hosting 12mb

Yes the Marlin has shot well with everything I have fed it. Thanks it is a great read. In honor of Jobson I post a picture of a new toy. A 270 win of course image post

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), ... Come on, MAN! Asking this group to pick a single favorite hunting rifle is like asking Hugh Hefner to pick a single favorite Playmate...even if it just encompassed the last few years.

This thread wouldn't be near as interesting if everyone just posted one. I don't hunt with just one. I'll carry a different rifle nearly every time I go. Some get picked more often than others, but I like to use a variety during the season.

Sammo, Don't tell Stick but .... 77/44 with 300 gr WFN P.S. I did get an antelope last year with the Tikka in .223. MojoHand; Good morning and Happy Easter to you sir, I trust this finds you well on this slightly soggy Sunday. You sir have eclectic tastes in your long arms! As a Canuck I've always had a soft spot for LE rifles of all numbers and marks, but the Jungle Carbine is an all time favorite of mine. Oh, the No. 1's are of course very fine as well. To my cyber friend Sam I'll send thanks for the thread and the intriguing answers it's produced. A couple from me would look like this Sam, but they've been seen previously so apologies for that in advance. A commercial Mauser roll marked military type 98 action, a .270 barrel in the photo, but now it's a 6.5x55, Wildcat Composites stock, Timney trigger, FN extractor, Wolffe mainspring, Beuhler Safety and some other stuff added to that. Ruger Liberty 77 tanger with a .308 Norma chambered Parker Hale barrel and in a stock I made up from a Richard's blank. Thanks again to all who've showed up at the thread and Happy Easter to you all. Dwayne

I'd have to look up precise details but James Anderson of Newell, SD built it off of one of those cheap Zastavia mini-Mausers as I mentioned. He previously worked for Dakota Arms and is a real artisan and a very nice gentleman. The furniture is AAA Walnut.
The scope is a Bushnell Elite Tactical and this winter this rig got it's work-out on coyotes.

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: Outstanding! Bull........... elk that is. Funny how our rifles are more favored when propped against GAME. Jerry

Also, like a stock CZ 527 .204 if the snow allows me to get within 350 or so.

An older Kimber Classic in 7mm-08 that has taken 4 Whitetails to its credit. Recently had Adam Bentley of Dresden Gun Company rebarrel it to an 8T 243 and I decided to restock it. So this is my new Deer rifle. Another rebarreled Kimber in 17 Rem. This time a Montana.
