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

Here is one of mine, a modern relic. This is my 1st year using it but so far it fits the roll. Not too heavy or light, built like a tank, shoots just a little over MOA with the green box Remington core-lokts and while I am careful with it I won't worry if it gets a scratch. The rifle has a nice balance, carries easy but still has enough weight to hold steady. It's a J.C. Higgins model 50 in .30-06. It still wears the factory chrome lined barrel and has the left side wing safety. The only modifications are a Timney trigger, McMillan stock and green CeraKote paint. While it's not much to look at it has a functional beauty that makes up for it. It's a great Mississippi white tail rifle. Nice rifle. What does it weigh? considering "it's not too heavy and not too light".. 7.1 LB for just the rifle. It's 8.2 LB like pictured.

Good weight and probably great balance and excellent no nonsense/geterdone hunting rifle right there.

Love my 270s, but I will admit that the 30-06 just may be the perfect 'all-round' rifle for things in NA.

[/URL] My take. Couple of Remington Model 7s bought in the late 80's. Top is a FS model in .243, perfect "walking around" rifle, perfect for any critter up to and including a whitetail. 6 pounds 4 oz loaded as shown. Bottom is a KS model in .350 mag, perfect "break both shoulders and anchor them right there" rifle, perfect for whitetail and anything on up. 6 pounds 14 oz loaded as shown.

This one....I'm a little partial though, as I helped design it. GA Precision built 6.5 SAUM, soon to be re-named 6.5 GAP as that will be the headstamp on the brass. This rifle/barrel has 3000+ rounds through it, and will see a brand new barrel sometime this winter. During two hunting seasons it has racked up 16 one shot kills on big game including elk, mule deer, antelope, and black bears. shots have been from 40 to 613 meters. It likes 139gr scenars at 3100fps.
Luck....is the residue of design...

The one I've had the longest: Kampfled Custom 250AI - 6.5lbs as you see it.

GA has their own actions that are made for them by Defiance Bob. Looks like a Bushnell LRHS on that rig as well.

RD: Thanks! I can't find anything on the GAP website about the 6.5 SAUM.....maybe not looking correctly.
Seems Pat's rifle is the Non-Typical?

I think BSA nailed it...a perfect rifle, in .30-06. Where would I be without one (or ten). Bob Customized Ruger Hawkeye, .30-06. 24" custom Benchmark barrel. Perfect. Red Decellerator, straight-grain, nice-colored walnut.

I like it a lot: Upgraded rings, professional red decelerator recoil pad install, nice walnut, custom barrel, 2.5-8x36 leupold. Damn nice 06 right there. I could hunt something like that for the rest of my life and not look back. You have some real nice rifles...
