Here's my favorite. 6.5x284. It was reamed to be able to shoot both the NORMA and Winchester versions. I've killed 6 elk with it in the last 4 years, plus some deer and antelope. Great rifle. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/AxJCZAC.jpg) Great picture bud...

Whichever rifle I have in my hands while hunting.
There is no wrong answer !
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. Jerry My .460 Wby is not practical for varmints,I still use it though.

My absolute favorite is my "Old Warrior". It's an early, 5 didget serial number, Remington 700 that started life as a 30-06 and got reamed out to 308 Norma Mag and put into a McMillan stock and either a Jard or Jewell trigger, all happened a long time ago and don't exactly remember anymore, and wears a Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8. Recoil pad gave it up a while back so I just use a Limb-Saver slip on. Sorry, not a picture guy, and pretty much all of my hunting was before the digital age. And cameras and film wasn't something I brought along on the remote hunting I used to do. But this rifle accompanied me on many an outing around the US and Canada, it's ridden in a scabbard beside me, floated in a canoe with me, walked many a mountain trail or meadow with me, slept in a tent beside me... accounted for moose, elk, deer, antelope and bear. And it's on about it's third sling. I'll try to get a couple pics attached.

J great whitetails... You don't need long range for a .300, it kills up close just fine... Well...... My .460 Wby is not practical for varmints,I still use it though. Okay, I'll REthink this. ATST not all the deer I killed with my 300 WM were at long range on the lease but 2 were. 389 lasered & 402 lasered. But several were between 100-200. It is a shame to have a great rifle and one you really like only to have it take up space.  THNX I put a new and different scope on it last year ANYWAY! ! It's a Swift Premier, 4-12 AO ![[Linked Image]](https://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l591/kleingunther/Elk%20%20%20HUNTING/Favorite%20Guns/photo_zpseb0064e2.jpg) This 70 Black Shadow is something of an enigma. It weighs MORE than it FEELS. It's a tad over 8 lbs but I was SURPRISED it weighed that much. It has a trim stock - forend / grip and balances SO WELL, it feels good. Boy are youse Guys 'enablers' !

For the last 5 years it would have to be my Kampfeld Customs built .243, its sure been a lucky rifle for me when it comes to hunting. ![[Linked Image]](http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/13758256/24777174/413447757.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/13758256/24776724/413998565.jpg)

It’s hard for me not to reach for my Marlin 45/70. No at all the most practical of my rifles but I just love Marlin lever actions. ![[Linked Image]](http://i66.tinypic.com/apfk3q.jpg) This fall I intend to hunt this HVA 30-06 a bunch, love the 2.5-8 Conquest with #4 reticle about perfect for the type of hunting I do. ![[Linked Image]](http://i63.tinypic.com/2mds0fr.jpg)

Today it would be the 7mm Mexican Mauser custom below. It just needs checkering to be finished... ![[Linked Image]](http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL782/4063224/24663723/413835281.jpg) A couple of weeks ago it was this old Marlin 336 SC in 35 Remington. ![[Linked Image]](http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL782/4063224/24663723/414152815.jpg) And before then it was this Husqvarna 458 in 243 Winchester ![[Linked Image]](http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL782/4063224/24663723/413811212.jpg) Might be any one of the three next week...
