Here's my beater for driven game hunts. Win M70 SS Featherweight cal. 308 Win. in a Mc Hunters Edge stock, barrel bobbed to 20". It weighs 6 pounds 1 ounce with the X/S ghost ring sight which takes all of 10 seconds to install. I normally hunt it with a Bushnell Li'l P prism sight or a Holosun red dot. With either one the rifle weighs 6 pounds 4 ounces, a very slick handling little carbine. Hmmmm, which Holosun?

My favorite all-around hunting rifle, 30-06, Remington 700 CDL, 6x Leupold. It's got a Timney trigger, has been pillar bedded and free floated. Shoots great! Such a simple setup and it's been used to take antelope, mule deer, black bear, elk, wolf and grizzly. So pleased with this rifle:

Howa 243 Ruger 77/44 with an aimpoint 9000 responsible for my last 2 gun season whitetail bucks my 77/44 carbine shot patterns. i still have hopes that i will get one that shoots one of these days. My 2 77/44's shot patterns. I will not be going down that road again. RJ Mine consistently shoots under 2" at 100 yards with cheap federal HP ammo and I when I hunt with it I use it in places where my longest shots are about 70 yards. It's been a great thick woods gun for me. Maybe I just got lucky. I will say that most other ammo I tried did not shoot as well. I thought the hornady leverevolution stuff was going to be great but it shot awful.

Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
