I doubt it,, I probably have 15 big game rifles, more if you count the stunt shooting .224's.. One of the 06's his been here for near 30 years and has never had a round in the chamber... Lots to pick from, just less licenses to fill.. No fast twist rifles, but can you believe they still kill game..

Yes
This is as "basic b*tch" as it gets but I'd like to be using a Rem. 700 SPS in 308 Win that I can upgrade as I go along. A triggertech trigger next season, a McSwirly of some type for the next, etc.
Planning on shooting 130gr TTSX pushed by IMR 3031 out of Peterson cases.
Should I not have that rifle, I'll be making do with either a Criterion barreled M1 Garand or an Israeli Mauser, both also in 308/7.62x51 and the same load.

I am, Marlin 336 in 30-30. Last time I used a 30-30, a model 94, was 1972. A bit of nostalgia I guess.

If the damn Savage custom shop ever delivers the one ordered on Feb. 15th. They say it is in the final stage- out for Cerakote, then will ship. Weather hasn't been favorable for range work anyhow, so no huge push.

Not at current prices and availability. I did, however, just recently put a new .260 Rem with an 8 twist McGowen tube on a Ruger 77 RL tanger that started life as a .243 Win. Only about 80 rounds through it so far, but showing promise.

Do you plan on a new rifle before next hunting season??? Nope ..... Nothing new here. Downsizing is in effect and keeping the users. Hunting will be confined to a 6CM 700 sporter, 257 Roberts (faux TI), 275 Rigby (faux Rigby Stalker), 280 Remington M700 (synthetic lego gun) and a 721 300H&H.

Getting to the point of having what I need. Only buying if something really catches my eye as extra special.

Plenty to choose from, but decided to go with 'ol reliable this season - the '06 and 180 gr. Partition handloads zeroed at 200 yards.

You obviously have not been reading the internet, sport a man bun or wear a flat brimmed ball cap.It is truly amazing that you have been able to harvest anything with your antiquated arsenal.

I hear you, lol
I've been buying a lot as "investments", because a money market account makes nothing. But they all will go hunting. That's the fun part of being free.

No I have all I want but one, and that one I may not ever find at a time when I also have the money. A Ruger 44 Carbine, M96 lever action.
I would also consider their Deerfield 44 with the rotary mag, but the one that is just cool to me is the M96. Sadly I'd probably have to work it into a trade sometime because money is tight. I have no sense of urgency I have many other guns that cover the bases with redundancy now. I have NO NEED for a Ruger 44 carbine at all. I just like them.
So for the foreseeable future I am not likely to get any new rifles (or new to me)
I am old enough and interested enough in bullet performance that it's unlikely I can even kill enough game in my remaining years to satisfy my curiosity now, and I know what a 44 magnum can do, having owned a lever action 44 in the past and also having killed a lot of game with 44 mag handguns up to the size of American Bison. So I feel no need to "test' any new bullets in a 44, and I still want to try some different 30 and 35 caliber rifles in my future.
Some many hunts -------------- So little time
(or money)

I found an unfired 1994 Winchester featherweight classic in 7mm-08 for $700 back just before Christmas so yes & no. I never PLAN to buy but nice guns I can't resist FIND ME somehow. Will put one of the extra Leupold I have sitting on the shelf on and work it into the rotation. #PeckerHard
