Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Which rifles this season?

Maybe some 700’s just for fun.

Model 70 358 Winchester
Model 700 358 Winchester
McWhorter 6.5-280 Ackley
Nosler 48 C/S 270 WSM

If the deer and pigs cooperate, Model 7 375 Socom = <100yds

I will hunt whitetails this year with a JC Higgins Model 50 30-06, or maybe my model 51 also a 30-06.

I have my old 760 in .35 rem
Dropped my 700 .243 into an HS stock.
Have not blooded my Steyr Prohunter .3006

The more i shoot the latter the more I like it

Watch me buck out in bow LOL

Treestand and hiking - Tikka T3 SS .260 Rem

LR plains - Savage 110, 6.5-,284 Norma. 24" Rock Creek barrel.

Elk, moose - Savage 116, 300 WM. 24" Shilen Select barrel.

Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 CDS-ZL2 Firedot duplex on all three.

Sounds like a winner.

I'm undecided, because of where I may hunt. The most likely prospect this year is a CZ550 in 7x57 with a 160 gr. Sierra SBT and IMR4350.

Tomorrow, 10/03/20, I'm going to take a stainless Howa 1500 in 6.5 CM that is bedded in a B&C Medalist stock and mounted with a 2.5-10x40 Nikon of some sort.

For PA bear I'll tote the 673 in .350 RM loaded with 250 gr. Woodleighs. For deer season M700 Mountain Rifle in 7X57 and 140 NBTs.

I use the same system every year....Eeny, meeny, miny, moe! As I only have one hunting rifle.....I never get past “Eeny”! memtb

It worked.

I will be using a 700 ML in a couple of weeks for deer or bear.
November I will use 35 Whelen Rem 700 where I can see 200 yds. Or 300 Wby Vanguard where I can see a long way. Deer or Bear.

Seriously, I have ammo loaded for the 8 RM. Just gotta check zero. Haven't hunted it in several years.

I love my T3X SS Lite 7 RM and BOTH will see action this season.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Well I checked zero this afternoon. Both are good to go !

BTW I discovered I DON'T have a pic of the 700, 8mm RM but I plan to cure that this season.



About 3 hrs later this guy shows up. 100 yds from house. A neighbor texted me that he was feeding him.
I said great....he'll taste good.

Some fabulous rifles in this thread!

New Portugal Winchester 70 Feathweight in 6.5 Creedmoor for me this season and a piece o' junk gold ring scope

I reckon I'll haul Percy up the mountain...

I'll be carrying a .243win w/95gr Bergers.

Traitor - you left NBTs after all those Wallhangers?

Rain forecast 2nd day of season.
Opener is the Remington '63 760 in .35 rem.

Rain day is the M77MKII "all weather" in .308

if bucked out will take the '67 Ruger #1 in .280 for the late antlerless (paid too much for a gloss scope but had to have it match).
Nice weather only, of course.

Yup..weather will make the decision for me...several rifles in H.S. stocks ready to go..hate taking my wood stocked rifles out to get wet.
