Did the bolt handle get caught in a Drill Press ? LOL

Jarrett 280AI. She don’t miss.

My current favorite is a Tikka T3 hunter in 6.5x55 with a 3-9 VX2 on it in DNZ mounts. Loaded with 129 grain hornady interlocks it is just about perfect for the PA hunting I do.

Now why would you want a “Green and Gold” rifle???

My wife says so.....................but she is wrong often !

Jerry

What customization work was done? Which model Leupold is that? Details man. Spill 'em.

Nice rig with the bolt on the correct side.

Jerry,

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






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

YEP ! --> Skeeter said, "nothing is more practical than S S & Rubber"

It TRULY is hard to leave some at home BUT SS, Lite, Composite, Takes TOP honors !

OMMV, but i'ts my mileage that counts --> like yours.

[quote=JCMCUBIC].......... but this is a straight from the maker that puts the things I like together. Light overall with a sporter barrel at 22", slightly forward balance so it settles down a little better for me offhand, stainless, coated, accurate...

That's what matters !

Great BUCK too.


Jerry

Yup, 25-06 T/C works just fine.

M70 SS Classic Fwt 270Win in McMillan Fwt pattern stock.

Winchester 70 Classic Stainless, 308 Winchester.

Winchester Model 70 XTR Featherweight in 7x57.

My ‘06’s are always good to go. My 270, 700 shoots 1/2 MOA 5 shot groups with mono bullets and Hornady bullets, my 7mm RM 700 is a 1/2 MOA shooter too.
I hunted with an ‘06 for 30 + years. 4 power scope (Weaver, then Leupold) ‘03 then 721. Now I like to try something different every year. This year it’ll be two 300’s, one a Savage 99 - for two deer hunts, and the other will likely be a new to me 300 Weatherby 700 (Unless it doesn’t shoot) then I’ll be using my old 300 Winchester Mag (700 of course) - for a moose hunt.

I may take a 358 Win on another deer hunt too (700 short action).

Favorite????? Ones that shoot accurately, handle nice, point nice etc.

This one, which actually belongs to my daughter. She and I have had some really good times with that little rifle.

700SS ADL 7mm-08, cut to 20" and bedded/floated in a tupperware youth handle we painted 7-8 years ago with Krylon.

T3 270 Win or same in 7 Rem mag. A slight edge goes to the 270, simply because it shoots so well with the whole spectrum of big game bullets. 110,130, & 150. Straight up factory synthetic stainless. Tough and repeatable. Good cold bore accuracy. I have no qualms about getting it filthy,wet, or bumped about. I do prefer a Yo Dave trigger spring,but can live without it.

Can't make up my mind. I have 2 favorites.


338 Federal built by Mickey.



7-08AI also built by Mickey.

I alternate usually between these two, and every season I make a resolution to take one of the following into the woods. 221 Fireball, 223AI, 22-250, 243AI, 250AI, 6mmBR, 270Win, 300RUM, 450 Bushmaster. The 375H&H & 458Win don't get out much, except for range sessions and the occasional bison hunt.

But it always seems to be one of these 2 that comes with me....................

A somewhat older very accurate Browning A Bolt SS Stalker in .308. Wears a Kahles 2-7x36 AH with a German 4A reticle. Feels right on the move or in the stand.

JPRO

KUDOS ! KUDOS ! KUDOS !

That's the way to make very SPECIAL Father / Daughter / Family memories !!!!





I have a FEW pix of my kids in the woods with some game but NOT nearly enuff !!
We didn't have cell phone cams which makes it TOO easy not to catch times like that in PIX !!

Congrats

Jerry
