Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Let's see your No Frills Meat Getters !!

No pic, no need. As predicted....

RAR 308, Bushnell elite 3-9x40 in weaver rings. Not pretty but I actually like the ergos. It balances well and fits me. I treat it about the way I treat my lawm mower.

At one time my REM 700 XCR II in 25-06 was my all around. Tweaked it with a B&C Alaskan, Timney, bedded it and it wore a 6x42 Sightron.

But about 2 years ago I bought a Vanguard Ibex in .308. It’s about 1 lb lighter with a Cabelas / Meopta 3-9x40 and likes 165 Gr Tipped GKs. So it’s what I usually grab.

If the weather is nice I’ll bring out the Savage 99 in .308 or the 336 in 30-30.

Probably use the .308 the most.

When did you get that oryx, SLM?

700 ADL .243, Ti stock, 6x MQ.

Lotta nice rigs in this thread.

This one has put a bunch of meat in the freezer since 1969! .3o/o6

3 years ago.

Hot enough down there for you?

Uberti 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle with iron sights & a Ruger #1A with a fixed 6x42mm Leupold. Both in 303 British. I would say my single-shot falling-blocks in variety of classic calibers are about as no frills as it gets with me. The Ruger below was the last rifle I put a deer in the freezer with.

760 30-06 with a Leupold VX-III 2.5x8.

i used the m94 (30-30) since i was 14yo. then about 5 years ago, i sent her to JES Reboring to do a 35/30-30.


Winchester m94 in 35/30-30 (JES Reboring)

Gotcha!

Yes, it's hot enough down here for me!

no photos, but mine is a standard m70 fwt in 280 rem with a GPO-4-12x42 that loves 140 gr Noslers, BT or partitons over 61 gr of H4831

Any of these. They all handle nicely.

There's some nice rifles there with some nice wood; can you list them off?

I put more meat in the freezer with an old economy grade Win 670 in 30-06 w/ a Weaver V7 than all other rifles combined. I tuned the trigger, Acra-glassed the action, and floated the barrel in the original "hardwood" stock sometime around 1978. I zeroed it at 300 yds, went forth and just killed schitt with it.

If I could find a rock to lay it over, it was good for head shots on grouse out to eighty yards with 165 gr ballistic tips over 60 gr H4831 and a CCI 250 in LC 67 brass. Or prone on the BLM, it accounted for hundreds upon hundreds of ground squirrels in May/June each year before they went back into hibernation as their food sources dried up.

I did not even own a camera in those days. Not a single pic of the rifle or game taken therewith. I finally bought a camera after our first granddaughter was born.

Boring and dependable, I sold it over twenty years ago and put the funds toward a Ruger #1 in 7mm STW, which has killed two critters.

This is Plain Jane. M700 30-06 in a Brown Prec Stock. Kills real well no matter what is on the menu.

700 chambered in .280 Rem

Cool rifles fellas.
