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.

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

This one is really growing on me...slightly customized Ruger Hawkeye in .30-06. Hill Country Rifles did the work. Bob
RGK What manufacture are the scope rings on your Ruger ? What customization work was done? Which model Leupold is that? Details man. Spill 'em. Nice rig with the bolt on the correct side.

[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

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.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

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.
