Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles A perfect rifle

Extreme Hunter is the name of the rifle

Sendero man: Thanks!

Pretty close in my mind. An early run Stainless Classic M70 in 30/06. A weak moment and it's gone. I miss her.

OMG! You sold that? For shame!

I was thinking I wouldn't have admitted to that... I'm sure we've all done some pretty stupid things though

It took about 6 weeks in therapy to get to where I could admit it. I'm better now...............NOT! Aw shucks. it wasn't that great a rifle. After all. It would group 180gr Hornadys in little clover leaf groups over a stiff (60gr) charge of RL22 with boring regularity. Nuttin special. Right?

Are those current Leupolds rings on there, or is that an older edition?

Those are an older set without the ugly L on the ring top.

Cowboy Tim- swap your Leupy for a Meopta 6x42 and you have my CZ.

I just like the look of that rifle.

That's a beautiful rifle.

+1. Extremely nice rifle there. I see why he grabs it..

A lot of damn nice "perfect" rifles here. I like all of them, you guys have some good taste. Here is my "perfect" rifle. I had to go back thru all the posts and make sure I hadn't already posted a picture of it. When the OP started this thread, I was working on getting this one cerakoted and found the perfect scope for it too. Now it's all put together and I'm liking it. 8 pounds all up with a 5 round capacity. Pretty good for a 338 win mag. This will be my elk hunting rig and no I don't plan on ever getting rid of it!!!

I would have to pick this one.
1987 700 ADL/FS, factory installed Brown Precision stock, 7mm Rem Mag, 4.5-14X Leupold. Weighs 8lbs 2 ounces.
The Hawkeye shows me the throat is eroded for a good quarter inch and the bore looks like alligator skin for another inch,...but it does shoot well. It loves 150 Ballistic Tips and H4350.
The lower targets were shot at 327 yards.
It works quite well on whitetails.

Lots of fine, fine rifles here.

This is as close to "perfect" as I have found in a hunting rifle.


Nothing fancy at all. Just a good solid hunting rifle that just plain hits and kills stuff.

So far it has around 20 deer to its credit and none have needed more than one bullet or taken more than two or three steps save the last forkhorn I killed that slid over the bank to the bottom of a holler on very wet leaves.


Please forgive the picture quality as the camera I had at the time was dying and I don't have any recent pictures of it.


Its a .280 AI on a 1982 vintage 700 ADL action put together by Mickey Coleman.

It has a # 3 1 -9 twist SS Matchgrade Shilen @ 23 inches. Mickey also squared the action and and glass bedded the factory stock.

Its currently topped with a 3.5-10 VX 3 in Burris Signature mounts.

It weighs 9.25 lbs field ready.





It shoots really, really well with the 120 grain Nosler BT, 162 AMAX, and 150 Nosler BT

Thus far I have 359 rounds down the bore and when and if the barrel ever gets shot out I will just retire it to a place of honor on the rack.

My Kimber Montana 7 WSM. 24" pacnor super match barrel. It's waiting for the bears to wake up.

"Waiting for the bears to wake up". What a life you folks have up that way. I can't even imagine being a hunter and living in AK. Sweet!

My Sauer 202 in 30-06 with S&B 2.5-10x56 (I also have extra barrels in 9.3x62 and 25-06)



and this is how it shoots 165 gr. Sierra GK!

Model 94 made in 1906. It was good enough for my Grandfather and it still works just fine today, more than a century later.

That a Banser stock?
