Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Carbines

Pre-war model 70 Carbines, although I believe their initial label was short rifle: 22 Hornet, 30-06, 270 WCF...

Very nice rifles.

Boy, Target Grey and pretty walnut are awesome. Want a TG RSI in 6.5 Creed/.260/Swede for approaching dotage.

The very early 700 ADLs had very similar variation. I bought one in 30-06 early this year and promised to a young fellow I work with before it arrived so that's were it went. I liked it so much I had this clone done instead of looking for another original.

I own two carbines. One is a Remington 600 Mohawk in 308 and the other is a Remington “jamomatic” 742 in 30-06. Actually when I feed the 742 with mid handloads of IMR4064 it functions well.
Neither is very accurate but I keep them because they both go back a long ways and have meaning to me.
I don’t hunt with either gun.

I'd bet with some tweeking, that 600 could be made to shoot. Cool little rifles.

I learnt that Reminton 742 et al need to have chambers cleaned to ensure great operation long after I sold a 742 Carbine '06 for beer money in college 30 years ago.

That thing shot sub MOA but ripped rims off cases! Dude that bought knew problem and has killed more than 60 deer with it. Won't sell it back either!

I got the 600 from my brother after he had a stroke and his hunting and shooting days were over.
You are correct that I’ll bet I could make it shoot well. Mmmmm...... Maybe time to give that a go. Thanks

That is a beautiful rifle. Looks like it shoots nice too, as that Muley discovered!

I bought this Savage 99A in 250-3000 with a 20 inch barrel new in the early 70's. It's been a great blacktail carbine.

I own several-
Weatherby S2 Vanguard "youth" carbine in .243 Win. Most accurate rifle I own. Under 1/2 MOA at 100 yd.
Rem M600 mohawk .308
TC Venture "youth" carbine in .308
Ruger American stainless "youth" carbine in .308
Winchester M670 carbine in .30-06
Winchester M94AE in .30-30

Great for hunting out of treestands

Better pic from today from a little walk about... shows the Deep South pine thickets too.

I think I might have one or two.

250 Savage 18.5" Ruger 77 RSI





Remington 700 6x45mm with a 20" tube, weighs 6.75 pounds ready to roll





Remington 700 with 19.5" barrel, 35 Whelen




Winchester 94 7-30 Waters

I like 20” and less, but if it doesn’t make sense with bore, case capacity, performance, muzzle blast, etc. then I had rather have a bit more barrel...but that’s less and less these days with powders.

16" .358 and 18" .375. Both bear rifles for crawling thru the manzanita thickets.




16" button mag 30/30

I LOVE that rifle.

Sweet rifle! Where in MS?

I am a sucker for stainless/walnut Rugers. How does that one shoot?

East Central near Starkville

A buddy of mine and I used to do an annual trek up to Noxubee each year. We always had a good time.
