Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What’s your caliber?

Are you a 25 guy? Do you have all kinds of 6.5’s ? Are you a gay 270 man?? How about the 7mm’s ? Are you a man’s man and Blast away with 30 calibers? 8mm? 33’s??

I have multiple rifles in all of the above, but I’m a 7 mm shooter. I have a 7mm 08, several 7 mags and a 7mm ultra mag. If I could have only one caliber, it would be 7 mm.

.375 and .30 for me.

two fitty salvage

7/284 and 33....................

.30 and 9.3. BUT if I had a .25 (Roberts) I'd be satisfied.

I've got more 7mm stuff than anything else, but the 6.5 is catching up around my house.

I like .257 Roberts and .35 Whelen, two timeless classics that are useful today as when they were designed veteran shooters. The .30-06 has also stood the test of time and has been embraced by millions of shooters both novice and seasoned alike, effective on all North American big game given proper bullet and shot selection.

I used to be .30 but right now it appears that I'm a 7mm guy.

257 and 264's. Have others but those are most likely to head out on a hunt.

.224" chamberings see the most use for me but various 6mm chamberings are a close second.

For big game hunting, I’ve owned rifles in .257 (both the .25-06 and .257 Roy) through.338 (.338 Fed and Win Mag). I’ve had something in every major caliber in between except 8mm. The vast majority of rifles have been 6.5, .277 or 7mm.

If I had to have just one rifle it would more than likely be a 7mm of some sort, perhaps a WSM, SAUM or .280 AI.

I could certainly be talked into a .270 Win or WSM, though.

I guess when I really look hard at it, I’m probably a 6.5 guy more than anything. A great deal of my most memorable shots were made with a 6.5x284 and I have never noticed a lick of difference between the way the 120-140 grain 6.5 bullets kill and the way any other size bullets kill, up to and including premium 250 grain .338s. And with the development of mono metals reaching the heights it has, there really isn’t any non-dangerous game animal that I wouldn’t expect a complete pass through from a TSX, TTSX or LRX 6.5mm bullet fired from an adequate cartridge and rifle.

As I get older and more broken down, recoil and rifle weight mean more and more to me. The 6.5s are really running right in my wheelhouse.

.45-100

Eight Nine rifles in .308".

But If I could have only one, probably a 7mm.

284 and 308 but the 264 is making an appearance again.

6.5 creedmoor and the 35 wheeler for in the bushes

I use many of them and love 'em all, but I'm a .30 guy from way back.

6.5 mm, 277 and 35's for me.

Creedmore

Well thats hard to say for me I have now:
Z-HAT Custom Winchester 1895 405 WCF NECG sights
WBY Custom Shop MK V Outfitter S.S. 270 Wby mag
WBY MK V ULW 30-06 bought here on the fire
Lipseys Ruger Hawkeye RSI 30-06
Sako Tecomate 300 WSM
The Win 95 405 WCF was all done in Robar NP3
The rest of my rifles were ALL finished by Hired Gun here
in Cerakote externals and Micro-Slick internals
Scopes for all except my 405 WCF
are Leupold 6x42`s Heavy Duplex or German #4
or Meopro 6x42 German #4

7mm (7mm-08). Works great for any big game I’m likely to hunt.
