Weatherby Mark V 338/06 Ackley Improved.
Kimber Classic 8400 300 WSM
Winchester 70 FWT 7x57 (Shilen barrel)
Now I just have to get my deposit ready for my cow elk hunt for "next late Fall"! (Landowners Tag)
I am putting in for all the antlerless CWMU Hunts in May. I have alot of points added up for antelope and deer, maybe cow elk. If I draw the cow elk, I can add her the Landowners Tag. (Unless they change the Law)
So "just maybe" I can get all three bloody!

A Tikka T3 in a in a 9.3x62 with a Leopold 1x4 scope on a black bear and moose hunt in NB. Keeping my fingers crossed and drawing again this year.
Also a stainless Rem. Model 7 in the classic 7mm-08 cartridge with the same said B&C Medalist stock also needs to get out of the house a little more.

I have a 700 KS in 280 Rem that I have never shot anything with although it has been carried a few times, maybe this year. Have not had it out for several years.

I think I am going to take out the Remington Alpha 1 in 308 and the Tikka T3x in 223. I take most of my deer with crossbow anymore. Just seems like there are a lot more deer moving around during archery than rifle anymore.

I'll start, I have several that I plan on using this year. First up is a Model 70 in 7 Rem mag that has never been fired other than @ the range. I've had it for over 15 years. It shoots 139 Interlocks into about 5/8" @ 100 so it's ready. I really don't know why I've never hunted with it. I did loan it to a friend from work one-time years ago, but he never got a shot. Next up is a Ruger #1 in 45-70. I did take it one time in 2023 but.... I let the doe walk. 3rd is a NIB 1991 Model 70 Sporter in .243. It's never been shot. I did put a Nikon Buckmaster (bought off the fire) on it in Talley QD's . I'll get a load worked up for it before the season. 4th is the Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag. I'll probably take it along as a target of opportunity gun. I've loaded a ton of ammo for it so I can practice this summer and hopefully get proficient with it. Last is a Marlin 336A in 30-30 AI. Hunted a few times with it years ago, but the opportunity never presented itself. That should take me through the season  I have two, 7 mags that rarely get used now, but I have one loaded with the 139's at about 3100 fps. It is amazingly accurate and I have had good results with them on deer and antelope. I just prefer my 260s and Creeds, now.

TC Contender in .30-30 will get first use on does this coming season. Thinking the .375 Whitworth I picked up may get a sitting or two.

I've got 3 that I had put together last year and late 2022 that I haven't had a chance to hunt with yet. Customized Rem 700 in 300WM, blue printed action, Manners EH3 Bartlein 2B 24" barrel, M16 extractor, milled bolt stop, TriggerTech "Special", Graphite Black CeraKote: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/DU7dwFkl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/SsHs4Rhl.jpg) Rem M7 re-barreled in .260REM with a PacNor 20" Fluted, Manners EH8, Timney trigger, Graphite Black CeraKote. I finished it in 2022, and have hunted with it, but just haven't seen anything worth shooting: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Kgmqad9l.jpg) Rem 7600, re-bored to 358Win (JES) from .243, barrel cut to 19", re-stocked with synthetic, Burnt Bronze CeraKote. I put it together for our annual deer drive. The other guys all use lever guns and I just wanted to be different: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/wUdbAPFl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/9eikMLwl.jpg)

My 375 H&H. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/SukSb6t.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Bb8iZd8.jpg) How do you like the eye relief on that scope at 9X Ed? I ended up getting the Credo 3x9 since I saw they advertised 2.2" on high power. Seemed a little short for my 338. How's it feel on the 375? Not an issue. I believe what Trijicon lists is incorrect. I need to check via flashlight. Maybe this weekend. This is a fairly light rifle too.

Thanks Ed. I’d appreciate it. Been looking at them but that eye relief worried me.

Gotta blood the CVA Scout in 444 Marlin that I picked up last spring. Only had it out a couple times this past season and I almost, but not quite, got a buck with it. In the woods, wet leaves, and he snuck in on me from my right side and I never heard him coming in. Then he winded me and took off like a rocket. The Scout will be at the top of the list for deer season '24, as I have to redeem myself.

1980's vintage Savage 111 in 30-06 bought second hand at local pawn shop, I'm not sure it was ever shot, mounted an SWFA 6X on top. It will be my backup/elk gun to my 6.5 Manbun.

Chuck_R that .358 is badass! Thanks, I stole many ideas I found around the net and here.. I saw one like it at a gun show in WA state when I was stationed there, a 35W that someone had chopped and hard chromed. Perfect for those conditions. Unfortunately I had just ordered a Rem M7 in 350 Rem Mag.. and it got away. So I finally found a reasonable donor and had one built.
