Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Do you have your eye on a new or new to you rifle for hunting season??

My “new to me” Steyr Prohunter Mountain in 30-06 will get hunted some this year. I hope to try it out on some pigs...

I’m going to try the Supergrade out this year I think.

Nope. I've made my 7mm-08 into the best that it can be. I can only use one at a time and a bunch of others sitting in the safe don't do me any good what so ever.

Yes. I should have in my possession a Ruger M77/44 by this weekend.

Yep, I picked up one of the new Sig Cross rifles to use on antelope through elk this year:


Even did some quick load development:


Things have changed a bit and I'm moving though, so I doubt I'll get to use it beyond a quick antelope hunt.... Next year though!

Last week I took my re-chambered .307 Win Marlin 336Y that John Boy painted for me to the range. Had to zero the Leupold Red Dot Sight. Fun as all heck to hear the bark from that 16 1/4" barrel! Plus, it put two Speer 150 grain FNs through the same hole at 50 yards. That's my swamp/thick cover rifle.

Last night I loaded some .358 Win necked up LC brass with 200 grain R-P Cor-Lokt PSP over IMR-3031. They'll be the first rounds down the barrel of the re-barreled S&W 1500 I "stole" off GB a month ago. I sent the bolt out to Tulsa for the Howa bolt recall. It's back and I'm good to go for the range. I'll mount a Burris Four X 1.5-6x42 with illuminated reticle on it this week. If it shoots well, it will be my hardwood ridge rifle.

Then there's the Remington 750 in .243 Win that is also a newcomer. I put a Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8x36 on it in some Burris Zee rings. It will go to the range, but will probably have to fight it out for time in the woods. My gunsmith tells me the 750s have feeding issues. I'm not gonna chance it until it gets some good range time.

So I got them going for me, which is nice....

yup!

Show off!!! Ya!

I've been at it so long that nothing much, rifle-wise, excites me much anymore. I may take the Geedubya route this year and hunt with a small-caliber double, just to make it more sporting.

I’ve already got three more than I need. I know, I know! Need doesn’t enter the thought, but the answer is no!

Too late to get a new one this year's season.

Picked up a Vierordt DR in 8 X 65R Brenneke. It, along with several other vintage, century old rifles will be used this year. Different one every day and if I hut morning and evening, two a day.

I have two 300 Weatherby Kleinguenthers and a 300 Win mag 700 5R. You got me beat.

More details please!

Looking to pick up either a Win 94 angle eject or a Marlin lever in ether .375win or .356win. Gonna put a Leupy 2.5-8x36 on it an raise hell on deer in the brush

I dont know if you can put a number on how many you really need.. 1 rifle for every day of the season. 1 rifle for each day in the month?

After some more range time my Tikka T3x in 7mm08 is going elk hunting soon and I just picked a a new 7-30 Waters in a G2 Contender for deer season.
