I'mpretty much a Ruger guy and I trust my Ruger Mk II 30-06 in a Zytel stock with a 2.5-8 x 36 Leupold scope. I think it's about as an all around rifle as there is. It will stand up to any duty.

If we are talking about so-called big game, it is my Ruger African in .275 Rigby. For varmints I have a slew of "go to" rifles...

I haven't gone to my go to rifle in so long I can't remember what it is. I enjoy and rely on them all. That is part of the fun.

My go to is a Yugo M48 that followed me home from the Balkans in 96. It is now in a Boyd's stock and has a new Douglas barrel in 8x57. If I ever have to sell all of my guns, it'll be the last one to go. It has hunted every year since 96 at least once. The last 5 years it has gone out probably 90% of the times that I hunt. It is crazy, but it just works.

I try to work them all into rotation. This year I’ve done all of my deer hunting with a Kimber Classic Select in 257 Roberts.

If the weather is bad, or if whatever I’m hunting absolutely, positively has to die, I take my Kimber Montana in 338 Fed. I’ve probably killed more critters with my pre-64 standard model 70 in 30/06 than any other rifle. My Kimber Montana in 223 might be second, but it has a lot of pigs to it’s credit which is kind of cheating.

I have a bunch of rifles and mix it up from time to time, but this one sure has put a lot of meat in the freezer over the years.
Model 70 Winchester Classic Featherweight chambered in 280 Remington, topped with a Leupold Vari-X3 2.5x8.
I can't imagine changing anything about it.

This was a long time ago. I was walking through a gun show and saw this rifle on a dealer’s table. He saw me looking at it and asked me to name a price. Being a young smart azz at the time. I belted out “$400!” It was new in the box. Much to my surprise, he said “Pay me.” I was surprised, but very happy.

My go to since moving to Alaska has been my Rem 700 SPS SS .300 WM. Before moving to Alaska, it was my Rem 700 BDL DM .280 Rem. While I have several others and I like my Tikka T3 variants, my Rem 700’s (except for one) I grab over all others the majority of the time.
