I'm going to have a. Sig Cross before the NH deer season. Not 'new', but never seen blood..........450 Bushmaster upper for bear.

Anyone else have a new rifle to hunt with this fall?
Oh goodness yes. I have acquired two .338-06s, and a 9.3x62. Unfortunately they have to compete with some other pre-existing rifles that have some sentimental value driving the desire to hunt them this fall. - I hope to use the .25-06 that I killed my first pronghorn with in 1991 for my AZ pronghorn hunt early this September (took 20 years to draw that tag!) - I hope to use the 7mm RM that I killed my first mule deer with in 1990, for my Montana general deer tag this fall. - I hope to use my Savage 99 .358 Win, that I have had for a while but never hunted or really done much work with, for my AZ cow elk hunt in late September. That leaves a Montana deer B-Tag, and hopefully a Montana pronghorn tag (should find out later this week!) Maybe the Nine Three for the B-Tag and one of the .338's for the "goat?" I'm 60. Not as many seasons in front of me as behind me. Going to concentrate on using "fun" rifles. Cheers, Rex

Nothing new this year, but still need to kill one with my ruger American ranch in 300 blackout. It is a dream to carry and shoot.

I picked up this M70 Supergrade 300 RUM and I’ve had this 06 Featherweight for awhile but haven’t really done much with it till now. Both are doing pretty well so far and may get to hunt.

Yet another year of "just getting by"....😂😂😎🖕 I will probably have to drag out a 700 too, junkie Leupold, sorry Talley bases and rings,

Picked up a nice Remington 7600 in 257 Roberts. Going to take that out on a few walkabouts.

I have a few new rifles. I need to work up a good load for my new Tikka T3x 7mm08.. Almost there though.. That one needs to be sent back . Talk about an inconsistent shooter. Agreed.......giving tikka a bad name By publishing that pick tikka may be sending some folks to see you

Agreed.......giving tikka a bad name By publishing that pick tikka may be sending some folks to see you Hey, I did say I was working on a load for that rifle. Ha ha.. It will be shooting better when all is said and done. I also just used the cheap Nikon 3-9x40 that came on my $500.00 Tikka 300WSM I bought at a local gunshow last year: I'm thinking about trying this one with 175gr LRX bullets this year..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
