Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What rifle did your Dad hunt big game with?

A first year of production Browning BAR in 30-06, At first with iron sights and then later with a 1.75-5 Redfield.

Before that he hunted sambar stag in the south Pacific with a Garand while in the service during WWII,but I wasn't sure if that counted.

A Remington 742 ADL in 30-06, like 90% of the hunters in MN did at the time.

Marlin 30-30 or one of my 700's in 270. Dad didn't hunt big game that much , he was a small game hunter at heart and used a single barrel 12 ga all his life

Remington 700 bdl in 270 win

That's Dad on the right somewhere around Saratoga, Wyoming
I don't have that rifle because he traded it for an 870 but I do have a 61' mod 70 fwt in 270 that belonged to the guy on the left which is my cousin.

I must've been out with the other 10%, 'cause I'd never actually seen one until about 5 years ago. One of my uncles had a Winchester 100 though, I thought that was pretty sporty.
