It’s the same rifle for 31 years.....same caliber for 40 years! That rifle is used for all of my big game hunting! memtb

Hmm.
I have 2, but I don’t care which one I would end up with.
Tc venture in 270 win. with vx2 3-9 CDS. 130 ttsx and it also shoots 140 SST almost identically.
Or
Tikka t3x ss SL in 6.5 CM with meopta 3-15 shooting 130 TGK.
F it. Surprise me


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

ha ha.. Yeah, I hear you. I've had 10 30-06 rifles at one time... I might be able to live with 1 rifle in every caliber and cartridge. But that would still be stretching it..

ONE?

I can't even wean myself down to low triple digits, can't even imagine only 1, but if I could it would be Larry Koller's 1920 in 250-3000 with a Lyman Alaskan.

This, except I haven’t tried the 130 ttsx’s …

Taking out family guns…..

A quality CRF action rifle in a 7mm configuration with a high end scope. Quality synthetic stock, trigger and mounts.

Hi:
Keeping in mind that I hunt in the northeast, the one rifle would be a model 1894 Winchester in .32 Special with a Lyman tang sight made in 1929. Has a half magazine and weights approximately 6 1/2 pounds. It is ideal for the areas that I hunt.

Winchester 1892 in .44 mag. Not a long-range rifle, but it hits like a sledgehammer within 150 yds and good handloads. I like the challenge of open sights also. I hunt with primarily .44 revolvers with open sights. Next to bow-hunting, it’s quite an Adrenaline rush
