Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles If you could have only ONE rifle, what would it be?

The rifle I would choose would be my Win Mod 70 Featherweight in 280 Rem caliber with a Leupold 2.5-8X scope. And if able to use only one bullet give me a 140gr premium. It would be a bit light for some game and maybe a bit heavy for other but overall a good compromise.

I have pre-64 Mod. 70 .338. Great round really hammers the game. I'd like to get a 7-08 and a 22-250 Ackley.pak

Most of my hunting is done in thick woods,so my pick would be a Marlin 1895ss in 45/70 topped with a Leupold compact scope.

One RIFLE? That means I get to keep the handguns and shotguns - right? Then I want either a T/C Encore or a NEF Handi-rifle with a small selection of barrels (223, 22hornet, 45/70, and either 308, 30-06, or 280rem).

Timber, I've been watching this thing grow and finally decided to wade in. However, you nailed me with your first post; only I'm a little more basic! I'll also go with my Pre-64 Model 70 in .30-06 Sprg. My only custom touch is a rubber recoil pad and a VeloVellini rubber sling. I have a Leupold 2.5 x 8 x 36mm Vari-X-III scope in Redfield mounts and rings. The rifle will shoot almost anything well, but LOVES PMC factory loaded 150 grain Barnes X bullets. I own a decent selection of rifles, but this would be the last to go! It's the one I plan to give my son (that kind of says it all to me). Great thread reading everyones idea's! Odessa

I really like my 338 RUM, but if I can only have one I'll move down my cabinet past 3 others and grab my rem 722 in 257 AI. IT has a 700 trigger and safety and Leupold 6 x. It shoots 87, 100, and 120 gr with no need for lateral adjustment of sight!
