i have a Romanian PSL sniper rifle i used for hunting, its all original import rifle and come with scope, night vision and everything. its 100% the best to me, nothing gets away once i am on it. but thats just my opinion. what ya thing???

If that's what you think fella, then rock on.

What was the last thing you successfully hunted with it?

What is the best hunting rifle?

Quien Sabe,

I do know that at present I am at least one rifle away from being satisfied.


Best,


GWB

Whatever I've got with me that day!!!

Probably a Remsakochester

Yeah, but those are reaaaaalllllly expensive! Seen 'em go for up to $200 on Gunbroker.

That is a good question. When my daughter was 9 years old I started her with a 375 H&H but as she got older we progressed to a M107. So I think the M107 is the best.

Like Geedubya said, the next one.

Still waiting to hear what you have successfully hunted with your Sniper Rifle in New Jersey.....

I don't know about him but I could tell you what I would "like" to hunt in New Jersey with a sniper rifle.

I've been monkeying around with this one.



Not as fancy as your PSL-54C, but it gets the job done.

I've probably killed more things with my .177 Crossman 760 pumpmaster I bought in 1976 than you've killed with you're PSL-54C.

But I've had 40 years to do it...

Cow barrel?

Chambered for the B-29.

From Gun Broker:



Buy now for $3,749.00 8mm

The PSL is not a sniper rifle. It is classified as a designated marksmans rifle. It was designed as longer range group support when the 7.62x39 runs range, the PSL can be used to hold enemy troops down while the other team members maneuver.

The above rifle is Yugoslavian and an 8mm Mauser. Similar but not a PSL. The PSL is literally an AK47 beefed up and lengthened to fire the 7.62x54r. The accuracy is similar too.

You have your eye too close to the scope, and you need to wear pants at least

There is no universal 'best'. Use whatever you like and can shoot well that can do the job at the ranges you are willing to shoot.

Half the fun for me is trying out new rifles - not because the previous ones were not up to snuff but because I can.

This year my new Savage .243 will probably go antelope hunting. It is "perfect" because it is unblooded in my hands and is awesome accurate. But I consider the .243 less than ideal for elk and will be taking something else for that.

I thing you trolling. thas what me thing.

The problem with the Romanian Sniper rifle is though nothing gets away once a fella is on it, is that it takes sometimes years to get onto anything. Mostly because Sniper rifles have to track so slowly for fear of return fire.




Shod

That was a good and relevant question, and so far all we hear is crickets and deafening silence.

Not to worry, though, he's prolly off huntin'...for some kind of an answer to your question.

Or...maybe he just got tired of trolling and left.

I don't know but when you figure out what the perfect hunting rifle is please tell me.

at my age i use some rifles that are prettier than the PSL.

The next one, always the next one.....

A Bow ???

People blow thousands of dollars every year jumping from rifle to rifle,and cartridge to cartridge, trying to find it.

Most of the moves are horizontal, the newest addition showing no vast improvement over what they got rid of.

Very true Bob, I am guilty of buying a bunch of rifles with one not really being any better than the next one but for the last several years I have stuck with the same .300 Win cartridge, it just makes My loading bench much more simple and uncluttered.....It has been great fun...........Hb

Best hunting rifle - got to be the 303 BRIT SMLE - doesn't everybody hunt with one??

I beg your pardon......

...and get a haircut!

Pants AND a haircut? I just can't do both. I'll just get a haircut, and ask Ingwe for some leopard-print thongs. I hear he has a whole drawer full.

Nice Connochaetes gnou.

Just FYI: The OP looks to be a scam artist. Look at his post history and the Nightforce classified thread.

The Winchester model 88 in .284 was the best hunting rifle ever. Unfortunately no one got the memo so few were sold. Hunting's best kept secret!

Yep. He even comes off as such, which is why it seems few are taking him seriously...

Ingwe, That BRIT of yours would certainly work (and obviously did)! By the way, how did you and old Karamojo Bell get along when you hunted together??

He was a quick learner.....

That 303 is sweet.

An etronix. No - a MAGNUM etronix.

I'm with you, you need at least 12 rifles to cover the full spectrum of game, hunting in brush, hunting in open fields, hunting in humid areas and so on. LOL

Actually, I didn't take him seriously because of his ridiculous assertions.

Yea, how come no Etronix forum?

You're all wrong...the answer is OBVIOUSLY Ruger 10/22. Why I bet I've put more meat on the table with mine than the OP has with his sniper rifle. Gotta make it the best...right?

The best hunting rifle is probably the one you sold a couple years back.
You know the one, most likely a .270 or .30-06 that killed everything you pointed it at. It shot cor-lokts inside of an inch and your first handloads quite a bit better.

Then you realized you needed something bigger/faster, or more snipery.

Then I sold it. Oops, I mean you sold it.

The Remchester 7000

Not this Mossberg abomination:

I think you nailed it!

I've put more meat on the table with my fingernail clippers than the OP has with his sniper rifle.....

Perhaps he can regale us with his experiences hunting elk and caribou in New Jersey...

That was before Al Gore invented the 'Internet".

Browning BAR self-loading rifle. It is available in variety of calibers including powerful ones like 9,3x62 and .338WinMag suitable large game hunting. For me ideal caliber would be .358 Winchester though that one was probably never available.

This one.



Then you can have mashed potatoes with the meat from the critter you killed.

Followed closely by the 99F in .358. Savages two best for long and short work.

ingwe, would like to hear the story on that Enfield. Looks super nice, always thought the Enfield with A well designed stock would make A nice open sight rifle. Feel like I seen it before, did it make one of JB articles.

Hook, line and sinker !

Yeah...me and it were in the chapter on the .303 in JBs book " The Big Book of Gun Gack"

You don't want that English clunker. The only good thing about them was higher capacity magazine which is considered unsporting for game hunting. Here is nice rifle if you don't mind iron sight only setup. If chambered for 8x57JS (NOT 8x57J) you're good to go.

Good gun for American farmer.....

I much prefer toenails.

Even before I clicked on it I knew from the title of the thread I should have never opened it. Like a moth to a flame I guess. Next time OP try, "what is your favorite hunting rifle?".

Was gonna say some kind of 98 in .30/06, but yours is close enough. M70 right behind, in any standard chambering.

Getting back to the original question>>>> Gun for American land barron.....

Checkered metal butt would be preferable to leather covered pad, but for one of about 500 as they say "beggars can't be choosers".
