What does get my goat is the hunt, stalk, outdoors, mountains and streams, good association, and meat in the freezer. I am sentimental just not in the materialistic sense

For me it's 100% utility and I could give 0 [bleep] about wood, fancy, etc! I've sold all my fancy rifles and hunt 99% with a 6.5 swede Tikka T3 stainless with a fixed 6 SWFA. My only other rifle is a 223 tikka with a SWFA superlite! Gitter Done!!!
Trystan I get the 'hunts, outdoors, friends' thing. I only wish I had quality PIX from over the years to show places, people, game etc. ATST when things ( a plan ) comes together and drops the dew of heaven on ya, what's not to like ? I had wanted a 284 Win for a very long time ---- 'after' they were easily available !!! I got this one from a Campfire Friend in ?? 2016 ?? It took me a while to mesh together the things to make it work for me. In Oct 2017 it did what its suppose to do: Opening Day of our Doe Only Modern Gun Season !! THEN on Opening Day of Regular Modern Gun Season It Did It Again !! THEN again Friday of Thanksgiving It Did it Again !! This guy was walking directly AWAY from me @ 175 yds. I had my Stoney Points and W/O hesitation >> I shot him in the BACK of the NECK ! Knocked His Nose in the DIRT ! Literally his nose hit the ground FIRST !! Now this Rem M Six 270 W. I inherited from My Dad who passed 12/98 ! It's one of 4 Mod Sixes I have/had. My Son has my First one. They work dependably. NO AMOUNT of $$$$ could buy this one!! So..... I'll not say what I'm thinking !! Jerry

This one is a Mdl 98 8x57 wearing a 60's? vintage Bishop stock. Barrel was turned down and cut to 20". It's kinda bubba-esque but it handles well and was given to me when I was 14 by an old man that was like a grandfather. I've killed quite a few deer and black bear with it. I just like it, and with 195gr hornadys it stops stuff pretty quick. My 13 yr old has commandeered it now and that's fine by me.

A Kimber 84L in 25-06. Things always line up when I carry it. I've got a Kimber Montana in 25-06 and agree, its a great handling rifle and when it goes to the woods meat is coming home. Never huge deer but good amount of meat comes home. I recently got a Bergara Ridge and its making its way toward the top spot in a hurry, but not quite there yet.

Well here's another one that ain't goin no where !! M 70, 6.5X55. I got it from a member here who lives in Ky. It's only the second FTWT I've ever had and ALWAYS loved the stock. The FIRST day I hunted it in 2012 --> SCORE That is Where I was standing and Where he was STANDING ! It was a cloudy day and I was in a Pine tree strip so it looks darker. The blood is from him HITTING the ground !! By the time I went back and got the wheeler the Sun was breaking out of the clouds. What can I say..... I'm a LOONY !! Jerry

For me it's my left handed model 70, 400 Whelen.
