Had my shoulder replaced this year hoping that come Oct my Kimber Hunter 7mm-08rem with 120gr TTSX @ 3020fps goes with me. If not a .204 Ruger with a 40gr, a steady rest and a head shot out to 200yrds gets 'er done. Bear,deer,elk.

I’m hanging in New England this season and will be rolling along with my Ruger 77RL in .257 Rob. Been a few seasons since I’ve carried this rifle - been too happy with my Tikkas

Nice rifles. I live and hunt mainly in shotgunland. Here's some of my slug throwers. I won't hunt with the Benelli but I'll be taking them all the range soon to check zeros and have some fun.

I pulled a coveted high-desert mule deer tag I love to hunt this year so I’m pumped. I built a rifle several years ago for “next time I pull a XXX tag” and it’s what I’ll very likely be using… it’s a midweight 6.5 SAUM directly cloned from the GA Precision (GAP) Extreme Hunter. Manners SL stock, Bartlien fluted barrel, Timney Calvin trigger, M700 action with a PTG bolt and Gre-Tan bolt guts. And AICS bottom metal and mags. Dark horse candidate is a 7 SAUM factory donor i rechambered to 7 WSM and damned if it doesn’t shoot lights-out. However it’s been really hot this summer and I haven’t had a chance to shoot it much. There’s always the Kimber Montana 7 WSM which I can hunt anything anywhere with. I used it 2/3 of the other years I pulled this tag. It works great there; it’s a backpack hunt. It has lots of longer-range hunting opportunities so I’m leaning towards the 6.5 GAP; not so much for the extra reach or ballistic advantage-there isn’t one- but just because as a heavier rifle it’s easier to shoot very well. Kimber on the left, 6.5 GAP in the middle.

6.5x284 NORMA for sheep, caribou and possibly black bear if I stumble into one. Got a griz with it the other day.
.300 H&H for moose and another griz/brown bear if opportunity allows since I will be moose hunting in a 2 brown bear unit. Possibly my .375 H&H but I am not planning on it. If I can get a Sitka deer trip organized I will likely take the .300 H&H for them too.
For elk and mule deer in Idaho and deer in Montana it’ll be my old .270 Win, 2nd year production Win 70.

I have 6 deer rifles. 2-308's, 2 - 30-30's, a 243 and a 30-06. The 30-30's are lever guns and all the rest are bolt actions. I only live about 15 minutes from our camp so I try to get out at least once with each of them.
