The key is proper stock fit and gun balance (good weight distribution) which is more important than anything else. I also insist on no recoil pad, but that is just personal preference.

700LH Campfire Ranger 7 Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 24,368	700LH 30-06, Leupold 3X9, has been getting it done a long time now. Started with 180's and went to 150's 25 years ago, and the critters don't seem to be able to tell the difference. Other's come and go, some stay and are good capable rifles, yet I see no need to change as my primary, all around big game, Idaho hunting rifle.

It has been my go-to since I got it a few years back, and I doubt that's going to change any time soon. Scope is a Leupold 3.5-10x40. Ammo? Depends on my mood, but right now for hunting, Swift SI 2 150gr pills.

Might have had a shot of TX White Dog for my sore vag, play along with the question please.... If you could only hunt with one rifle for the rest of your life, what would it be? You might already own it, might be something you want, off the shelf, custom, whatever. Don't worry about barrel life, or possible lemons, accuracy is a given type of deal... And..... How would you scope it? Bullet? Use? (and yes, I know it is a hard question, don't worry, only hypothetically speaking) Well, It's another thursday afternoon, and it is snowing here, so here goes : Kimber 84M in 23" 6.5 Creedmoor w/Talley Xlows and a Leup 2.5-8x36 wCDS or maybe a NightForce 2.5-10x42 in Lows Whoops make that a 6.5 SAUM in an 8400 Montana 24.5" w/ either of the above scopes. Mo Bigga, Mo Betta sorry about you havin to shoot the White Dog Last edited by 338Rules; 04/02/15. Reason: Still Freakin Snowing

Given that the .270 is loaded to a higher pressure standard than both the .280 and the.30'06, I must beg to differ. Even when comparing projectiles of similar SD 140/150/180 respectively, the .280 comes up with the least recoil. History May Not Repeat, But it Rhymes.

Building only one all around practical rifle, starting from scratch: Sako or Tikka action .308, 20" barrel, in McMillan edge stock, that is set to take AI box mags. Topped with a Nightforce 2.5-10x32 in Talley lightweight rings. From bull and cow elk to coyotes and rockchucks, the 20" .308 T3 has proven to be an easy to shoot well, non finicky tack driver. How does the magazine sticking down below the rifle effect the carrying of the rifle? I am thinking about getting a 5 shot Magazine for a Tikka Superlight I just bought but was curious about carrying it in one hand. Do you just grab the rifle in front of the Magazine? Thanks Late to reply, but the rifle balances easily. It's the most enjoyable centerfire bolt action that I've ever carried afield. Superbly accurate. THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running! www.lostriverammocompany.com

Where I live now, I could use a 358Winchester and want for nothing. 200s for deer, 250gr Speers for moose. Mine is a SS M700 with a 22" King bbl sporter contour in a McMillan topped with a FXII 4x. Weighs 7lb as described. Would have to rethink that if I lived out west. Prob a 270Win.
