M64 in 30-30 w/Lyman receiver sight. Should've kilt something with it over the past two seasons. Gonna make it happen this year fer sure.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Great thread guys. What else are you guys using???
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The M70 300 Win. did not stay sighted in at 200 yds today. The first shot hit 3" low from a cold barrel, the second also was 3" low for a 2" 'group'. Not good.
say what?

say what? He said He's a [bleep] moron, that has no idea what he is doing. And isn't sure whether he is too lim wristed to competently shoot a 300 Win Mag

say what? The bullet should be about 1.5"-2" high at 100yards, zero at 200 and about 7" low at 300yards. He is trying to flatten out trajectory by using 200yrd zero instead of 100 yard zero.

Have been recovering from shoulder surgery, if I can get out this year I'm going to give the 1953 .308 Featherweight a try. ![[Linked Image]](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/jorau/IMG_2148_zpsb9c1817f.jpg)

That sure is a beauty. You need to put a McMillan with a 1" pachmayr on that rifle and it will soak up that recoil very well and be easier on the shoulder. That sure is a clean fwt. Very nice!!!

Nice Augie, I've got nearly the same rifle, a 1953 M70FW in 308 WIN. I don't hunt this one, it has a vintage Redfield peepsight and I can barely see through a scope early/late! Very nice Supergrade FRST. Odessa ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/M70FW_308_WIN_Redfield_sight.JPG)

Only 4 as I will not shoot a calf and I have had to let many a cow go by that I could have easily downed except I have never been fortunate enough to draw a cow tag .
You know I have never felt undergunned while some of my buddies have to carry the latest super magnum and factory fodder to match.
regards
Doc

Took my 7mm Classic out a few weeks back for mule deer. It might see some more use if I make a run up to northern MI later this season, but we'll see. ![[Linked Image]](http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad253/sccrdude987/imagejpg1_zps83e75928.jpg) Cool pic, neat looking country Rifle looks pretty slick too....

Actually most of the rifles posted here would be fun to hunt with.

To give the pre 64's a rest break I have been playing with 2 7STW Laredos out to 500, it is almost to easy, I found a case of Fed Prem 160 gr, accubombs and 2 boxes of 140 gr rem core locs to have the brass so as to reload, the factory shoots so good I may not reload. One gun is BOSS, the recoil less ,I have not tuned with the BOSS yet,I just set it half way and shot away, the non BOSS gun is a tad tighter shooting as of now. I will post photos.these guns are not walking guns, heavy truck axle barrels! I have a custom shop sporting sharpshooter on the way home from Oregon45 that has a smaller Schneider barrel that will be a little lighter,handier. If the gun shoots like the other custom shop guns I have worked with it will be a nail driver.
