Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your Personal FAV.

OK, I made up my mind.

ADDENDUM

It was Nov or Dec of 2007 and I was in that stand. NO deer were moving and around 9:30 AM I got down and came down that hill into
the C/O. I turned 90* R and took 2 steps and the buck was bedded down w/a Doe.




The buck took off straight away from me and I had the impression he was going to my L, I led him a little and shot BUT he went straight
before turning R. This time I led him a little more and shot. He SOMERSAULTED landing on his back - white belly up.
That skinned streak on his back is where he landed on a stump.!

That was 3 yrs. before I joined the 'fire' and didn't think to take a pic -- white belly shining in the sun. He weighed @ 185 #, Look close, that is the scale straight above his head.






Same buck from rear view.



S S is deadly on WT. LOL

Leupold. Nice rings that go perfectly with the 2.5-8x Leupold scope.

Rings are Leupold, as is the scope...a VX III 2.5-8X. I had Hill Country Rifles rebarrel in .30-06 (24" tube), glass the action/barrel channel, cerakote the bolt, triggerguard and floorplate and engine turn the bolt body. Pad is a 1" Pachmayr red decellerator.

IDK. I'm caught in a situation where I have a bunch of rifles around but no clear favorite? I mean my 1892 Winchester in 38-40 is my favorite rifle but is it my favorite big game rifle? I don't know about that.

Thompson Center Contender Carbines are my favorite:

I do "need" a favorite all around rifle. I like the looks of the rifle JCMCUBIC posted above. Barrett Fieldcraft with the 22" #2 contour barrel. I wished I could find one to handle.

Currently a first gen 700 titanium in 270 win topped with a swaro z5 3.5-18. Empty it weighs 6lbs.9oz. Light, accurate, rugged. Covers everything I need to do in PA. Second favorite is a Christensen ridgeline in 300RUM topped with a nightforce shv 5.5-20 for out west and long range work. I’ve got a ton more rifles, but those two would probably be the last to go as far as pure big game hunting rifles go.

Is that a McMillan on your 600? If so, is it a model 7 pattern?

Yep

660 actually and ya a model 7 handle

All time favorite accumark 30-378






Current favorite 7mm weatherby built on a 700 action



I shoot my smaller guns a lot more, and hardly ever use the 30-378 anymore but I just like those two for killing big game.

Currently a 2006 ish Remington SPS 308 with barrel cut down to 20". Bedded it into a 60's era stock and mouted a 3-9x40 Conquest with Mil dots. It just satisfies.

Nice critters rosco, you've been holding out!!!😂

If I could only have one.... this would be it.

But since we get to choose two.... M70 270 classic ss.

Nice rosco.....really nice!

JPro, nice work with the kiddos buddy, and Jwall.......outstanding.

Once again, great thread guys.

Remington 700ADL, Banser stock, Lilja barrel, 2.5X8 leopold, 338-06, 210 Noslers

Thanks. JG the bucks you post every year are fantastic! Thanks for showing them.

A good friend used my 3rd favorite rifle (if that’s allowed 😜 ) on this buck 7 rem mag/180 scenar . Biggest 3pt I’ve ever laid eyes on. I like watching that little video clip for some reason
