I find that the older I get, the older are the rifles, and calibers, that I prefer. In the time I have left to hunt, I plan to only use those favorites and have been getting rid of the ones I no longer favor. I no longer own a composite stocked rifle, the last one (1992 M700 stainless 280 purchased new), went to a friend a couple of months ago. The newest rifle currently in my safes is a CZ 550FS 6.5X55. The next newest are a couple of M600 Remingtons and then it goes back to the fifties and beyond. My current favorite is a 1939 built 1903 M-S stutzen with a 4X Hensoldt Dialytan scope. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/L7ViQU5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/5a9ZDgf.jpg) It just occurred to me that I forgot about the 3 ARs I have. They're new and composite stocked, so I guess I lied about that. Anyway, I consider them merely tools to have and play with.....not to hunt with. Mainly, I keep them around just to pizz off liberals!

The majority of the guys that participate here are LOONYs. WE are afflicted or addicted to
firearms. I have multiple rifles of diff manufacture, diff stocks, diff cals, diff cartridges. I don’t keep a rifle I don’t like PERIOD.
Of all of mine, MY personal FAV is the Tikka T3 Lite SS in 270 OR 7 RM.
I’d just as soon to hunt one as the other. Some don’t believe me but it’s true
nonetheless — I cant tell the diff WHEN hunting.
For Big Game Hunting, not varmint, not small game, not plinking. — What is your personal FAV ?
There is no wrong answer !
Jerry Win M70 in .264WM... It might be the very last rifle I ever sell..

It's like asking which of your kids you like the best.

the 700 classic in 250 sav is a mighty fine rifle. accuracy, little recoil, great stock design, decent wood, aged purple bolt handle, jeweling, balance, low report ... whats not to like.

I can’t believe a guy as savvy as you say you are, hasn’t set a trap to catch the pack rat that keeps dumping all that $hit you have in your tunnel. If you put a picture of yourself near the trapdoor of that bunker, that rat may just feel sorry for you and start taking that junk instead of leaving it for you to take pictures of... Laughing profusely, watching your continual misuse of a camera and the English language... Does your retardity know no bounds? Stupidity has got you beaten and you don’t even know it... Take the bait you moron, Hint... lol. Sucked the little man in
