That 30-06 Mauser custom is my open land favorite. For woods hunting in land like VT with some steep hills and forest my favorite is my 99F .358 that I have used for the last 50 years. It's lighter than the open land rifles and just optimum in my experience. It's the 99 in the picture below.

My current "Go to" rifle is this T/C Icon Weathershield, 30-06, Leupold VX-3 scope. For over 30 years, I used a Remington 700ADL 30-06 with Leupold M8-6X scope and felled a lot of critters with that old reliable rifle. Recently I bought a T/C Venture 25-06 and installed a Leupold VX-3 CDS scope. I'll be taking that deer hunting this year. No photos of that one yet. KC
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.

Here's my favorite: a custom Mauser .270 with a 2-7X32 Leupy in Buehler mounts. Have taken a lot of deer and pronghorns with it, but don't have a single kill picture.

My son's got a cool lever too ! You may have seen this in last years Dink contest. You're required to disclose the chambering on the 99... (I bet its a 308)
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Hard to pick a favorite, but I like this one a lot...mainly because when I carry it I'm generally still hunting which I enjoy the most. It's a 21" barreled .358 on a M7 action in an edge fill stock. Got a new cerrakote coating this year but no pics of that yet.

I don't hunt this rifle much anymore, but my Dad does, and it's by far my favorite rifle. I wish it could tell stories!
