Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your Personal FAV.

Well.... there is NO answer !

elks, I know the feeling but IMO all of my FAVS are not =.

eg. my 70 Black Shadow 300 WM is right up there but it's not practical where I hunt now.
It AIN'T goin NOwhere.

Thats a sweet rifle!

My personal fav for some time has been my M70 XTR Featherweight, 7x57 Mauser.

Currently a Shiloh Sharps .44-77

my 1972 win super grade 270 then my savage American classic in 308

Thanks. My wife likes the cabinets and countertops more than the rifle too! It is a pussycat to shoot with the brake, but I hate the noise they make. It shoots so good I just haven't messed with taking it off so I'll likely keep it on there. McWhorter makes some great rifles for sure.

Today, likely my 270 Win Kimber Montana.







That said, my 25 year old Rem 700 338-06 will be heading to NE BC with me next year as it did on my last trip to BC.

I am in that camp too!

My favorite is a little '74 Shiloh Sharps Montana Roughrider half round chambered in 40-65, with 400gr paper patch bullets I cast and patch myself, it has accounted for nine deer over the last couple years, something about blackpowder, paper patch bullets, and barrel sight hunting has hooked me hard.

I still can’t decide.

M70 FWT Shot Show Specials. 257 Roberts and 280 Rem.

Ruger mk2 wood/blue 30-06. Had it since 96' or so. Killed lots of elk with it.

I reach for this one way more than the rest...

Jerry,

Sentimental favourite;





The one I hunt most now, due to our crappy winter conditions;





Other's in the rotation;





Nothing fancy about any of our stuff, but it gets the job done !

It's really hard to say which one is my personal favorite. They're all my favorites or I wouldn't keep them, I guess. For now it's my Barrett Fieldcraft in 6.5x55 topped with a Swaro Z3. Runing a close second is my new Christensen Arms Mesa in 6.5 PRC topped with the Sig Whiskey 3 BDX system.

My personal favorite is the one I always grab when going hunting - a 700 chambered in 338-06.

The one I grab the most often is an old Ruger paddle stock in .300 WM. 180 TTSX at 2975 just seems to work well at the ranges I shoot (50-500).

Great pics guys. Great thread idea too.

Tough choice.

Maybe a 'Redhead'? Rem 700, Fajen stock, Douglas barrel 25-06 with about 1200 rounds through it.



Maybe it's the blonde? Rem 700 (first year for the 25-06), factory barrel, Fajen stock (again) with over 3000 rounds



Maybe old school? Mod 94 Win in 30 WCF made in 1906. Lyman peep



Then again, it could be a 'Brunette'? Win 70, Pac-nor barrel. 6.5x55



And don't forget those 'ladies' that like originality to their 'hair' styles



MkX long action, Pac-nor barrel in 358 Win cerakoted in Forrest Green and Gold

A person shouldn't have to be forced to choose just ONE favorite, should they?
