Currently built rifles:
Sako #1
Weatherby #1a ,
choices would depend on "style" of hunting
Why would I buy/consider a 3,4,or 5th choice?

CZ what? Be specific, please. There are rules to this game. Sorry I broke the rules. I will go for dollar value but if money is no object then I would have only picked English Best grade. CZ452..Price is within reason for a rifle that is on par with an Anschutz. CZ 455...Price and modularity/extra caliber capability. CZ 550...Price, accuracy and the magnums are a true mauser magnum action. CZ/Brno Combo. Price, accuracy in a quasi-drilling setup. CZ 527...Price, accuracy in varmint rifle wet dream.

Blaser R-93 mine is in 7mm RM
Sako Hunter 6.5 x55
Sako 75 SS 338 Winchester Mag
Steyr Mannlicher Mod M Pro, first generation 7 x 57
Winchester M-70 FW 243, its on loan to a good friend.
I don't get rapped up in this sort of stuff anymore, as long as a rifle shoots well enough feeds extracts with out any problems any make will do. I looked at a Ruger American yesterday, nice trigger bolt worked well with out any problems other than a cleaning and some light gun oil on the action. Nice for 379 at Cabelas.

Sako 75 finnlight IN .300 WM for carrying
Remington Sendero .300 WM for box blind on hay fields
LMT MWS 7.62 for hogs and poachers
Ruger M77 mark2 in .243 for varmints
TC encore muzzleloader. Thanks, you obviously read the request! But one question: the Mark 2... with factory trigger??? I actually did replaced my trigger and its stupid light. It's a pure prairie dog gun.

Does 'best' mean 'best value', 'most accurate', 'most durable', 'most reliable', 'shiniest finish', 'prettiest wood', 'easiest to shoot', 'most expensive', or 'highest status'?
Or should we all just shout out whatever rifle we have as the best?

Anyone who thinks current production Remington made Marlin rifles are well made has not been paying attention.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

1) Kimber 84M
2) Win. Model 70
Hmmm....
I imagine a Forbes would be up there, but having never touched one I can't say one way or the other. Clearly I need to buy more rifles and offer up a more informed opinion.

If you had to pick the five top factory HUNTING rifles made TODAY, how would you rank them -- and why? That's the sole criteria for this little poll. Otherwise, it's wide open. Let's hear 'em... What am I hunting?

Remington? You can make those go off by tapping on the receiver. Half you guys wouldn't know a quality rifle if I handed it to you.

My hunting experience is limited to New York and North Carolina farm country, so my choices may be reflected in that experience.
Remington Model 7 [no other gun is as capable in the thick woods and open fields as the model 7]
Marlin "X" guns - [because everybody needs a $300 gun that will shoot itty bitty groups for thousands of rounds with hardly a worry]
CZ 550 UHR- [there's just something about a well made gun with a set trigger and fancy walnut stock that shoots MOA out to 600yds]
Remington 750 or Marlin 336 -[fast handling accurate guns that are the latest evolution dating back over 100yrs]
Rock River Arms LAR-8 predator -[modern gun with amazing accuracy that is just as capable of having fun blasting cans at the range, defending the homestead, or killing critters out as far as the shooter and cartridge is capable. 243, 7-08, or 308, take your pick]
I don't drink or Smoke. I spend my money on gunpowder and gasoline.
