In Alabama I saw 7mm08s, 6.5 CMs, 25-06, 270, 7mm mag and a 308. Trend is smaller calibers in durable weather resistant rifles. I used a swaro Z3 on my rifle but most all other rifles I saw had a scopes with a gold ring on them. Newer rifles had 40ish objectives but over all equally distributed between those and 50ish objectives. Younger guys are interested in dials where as the old boys are sticking with point and shoot.
In Ohio where I am now there is a mixed bag of firearms. Newer rifles are definitely trending toward the 350 Legend in scoped bolt guns. Some 45-70s and even a sluggun holdout. I’m shooting a 350 legend in a Winchester XPR with a VX3i 2.5-8x36.
