Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles My “All Around” gun

Mine is a 6.5x55 98 Mauser a friend put together for me. No pics on this tablet. Will have to look around.

I like it! Good job

This is ONE and probably most favorite all around rifle, especially for N A.



Tikka T3 X 7mm RM




The top empty case did this earlier in the season.




It doesn't discriminate as to gender. LOL

Blue and walnut ruger m77 mk2 in 30-06 with leupy 3-9x40. I've been using this particular rifle since 1996. Slowly being replaced by a ruger Hawkeye in 308win.

My latest is a Weatherby MK V in 30-06 that I bedded into a Brown Precision stock I picked up off Ebay. I put a Burris FF II 3-9 on it. It’s only killed paper so far

Mine is a stainless Riger UL .30-06 in a boat paddle stock. It likes 165 grain Game Kings.

.300 H&H
Rem 700
25.5" Douglas 1/10
Factory, but tuned trigger
McMillan Edge
Air Gauged

I've never taken it overseas, but it's been to Alaska and several western states, killing anything that needs killing. It'll be with me in the Yukon in August (hopefully) for griz.

Remington 700 CDL, 24" 30-06 with a 6x Leupold.



It's taken pronghorn, mule deer, black bear, elk, wolf and grizzly. I'm well pleased with it.

My go-to rifle of late...Ruger 77 .30-06 with a few custom touches...24" barrel, red pad, oil finish, etc. All I need for what I'll be hunting in the future.

Too many to really choose but one of my 300 wm with a mono or 270 with a mono.

Weatherby Vanguard2, .30-06 stainless, synthetic, Leupold VX-R 4X12 Firedot , rifle was guaranteed and is sub MOA. Don't have to be concerned about it getting a little wet. Will dispatch anything in Louisiana. We do have some really tough Russian boar.

Rem 700 Mountain Rifle in .280 Rem. I have several others, but this one always comes hunting. Wears a Zeiss 3X9 and has a timney trigger at 2.5 lbs. Shoots way better than I can, and, other than pigs (for some reason), it kills whatever I aim at. I've been lucky in that it likes factory ammunition, too. Recoil is very manageable, and velocity out of the 22" barrel is better than I was told. Just a perfect little rifle for almost everything I hunt.

I don't think there really is such a thing as an "all-around" gun, but I have a Krieghoff drilling which has proved to be pretty versatile, in that I have killed everything from birds to rabbits to deer and pigs with it. The 7x57 barrel is accurate enough to headshoot rabbits across the paddock out of shotgun range, and more than accurate enough to reach out to a deer or pig out to 300 yards or more, and I have a selection of various birdshot, buckshot and slug loads for the two 16 ga barrels.

It has 22" barrels and a Dural frame, so it is very light (6 lbs bare) and handy too.

I have a 1.5-6x42 scope with claw mounts, so it can go on or come off in an instant (I also have a 6x fitted for this rifle, in reserve, but the 1.5-6 is a much better option).
