Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Carbines

Ok I guess. I only put enough rounds through it on paper to get it dead on at 50 yards.

Paul I actually live close to Noxubee, about 10 miles

Noxubee is a nice refuge. We always got a meat deer when we went. Every now and then someone killed a trophy. That someone never was me. Dragging a deer out of some of those hollows can be a workout huh?

I currently have 4 carbines

Marlin 336 .30-30
1949 Winchester 94 .30 WCF
1979 Winchester 94 XTR .30-30
Rossi model 92 .357 mag.

I've killed more deer with the Marlin 336 and 1949 Winchester 94 than with any other rifles I own.

Up until last Saturday I had a 7600 carbine. Great handling rifle but I came to the realization that I didn't need a 30-06 for what I do. Sold it to a young man who turned around and killed an 8 pointer with it Tuesday. Good for him.

I have 2 Marlin 336s in 35 Remington.

Here is a nice Sako carbine in 222 Mag. It is hard on rabbits...

Does an M1 Carbine count?

I have the one my father got from the DCM back in the 1960's for $19.95. Also have a couple of 20 inch barreled 700's.

My Mossberg 464 in 30-30 features a 16.25 inch barrel. Its a true featherweight.

Colt Lightning SRC in 44-40. They can be hard on rabbits too...

My Alabama friend carries that rifle in 222 rem in his truck for occasional pot shot at a coyote.

I got a Ruger GSR, worked great hunting hogs out of a blind.

rem141r - noticed that you've listed a Rem M600 under your handle. I've one in .308W / 18 inch barrel that'll really 'light up your world' when you squeeze the trigger.
It'll do a job on your ears too. But over the years its been a right handy jeep rifle. Now days I use a Ruger M77 Hawkeye in 7.62 X 39mm instead...akin to a bolt .30/30W

If you want to list them all, I don't think I'd remember them all and I don't want to dig them out. For the brush I hunt I don't want a 26" barreled anything other than as a novelty, say a Savage 1899 or some such. They hold well, but not for me as a regular carry rifle.

I have become partial to a few rifles with 16.5 to 18.5" barrels. These include a Ruger American in 300 Blackout, a Marilin1895 in 45-70 and a Ruger Scout Rifle 18.5" barrel in 308 Win. I do like shorter rifles, but there are times when a longer barrel is good for the extra velocity. I have a couple of TC ProHunters wtih 26" barrels. They are almost exactly the same length as my 18.5" barrel rifles. Gives me a handy rifle with significantly more velocity. I do not mind a 24 or 26 inch barrel on the right rifle. They have their uses.

Though I have a few carbines this one gets carried the most, Rem 600 in 308 with original Redfield scout scope. It's makes a great still hunting rig.

my 600 is a 350 rem mag. i shoot it maybe 3 shots a year. it is a wicked SOB on both ends

Shrap. You are my hero! Beautiful Rifles.

Vying for the shortest, most compact carbine out there....



...available in a multitude of calibers.

Fits in backpack.

My Grandpa used to say this regarding our friend's pug: "It's so ugly it's cute."

Every time I see a 600 I think of it.
