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: 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: 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: Gee thanks. Your pics of that 7600 reminded me that I need to send my 7600 off to JES to become a 9.3x62. I've been wanting to put a synthetic stock on it and or course eBay actually had some this time. I'll have some 'splainin to do when the accountant wife sees the bill.

Simple hopes, to have and bloody Marlin 1895 in 45-70 of course, and 336 in 35 Remington.

Who knows, maybe this will be the year I use the .500 S&W for something other than an insane range toy

I did get a very good deal on eBay for the synthetic stock and a couple magazines.

I've been having fun with two "new to me" rifles, both Sauer bolt actions. One "202 Euro " model, wood stock / steel receiver, the other an "202 Outback" with aluminum receiver, synthetic stock. It came with a lightweight .270 Win. fluted barrel.
I also have four other barrels to mix/ match that will fit either receiver. 9.3x62 22", 30-06 20" with battue sights, .308 24", and 7x64 22". I bought four sets of excellent German EAW QD pivot rings so I can mount and swap some good Kahles and Kaps and Leupold scopes. All barrels shoot very well.
It's fun to have such a versatile, interesting and well made bunch of options to choose from - and with which I can hunt pretty much any medium to large game.
Because stocks and barrels and scopes remove easily for handy transport, and reassemble into various configurations just as well, I'll probably take the Sauer on a safari in Mozambique in July. Should serve admirably as a plains game rifle with the 9.3x62 barrel.

If'n I can get it to shoot a bit straighter, the 7X57 M70 fwt will get a 2nd try from 4 years ago. A barely visible caribou at 15 feet doesn't really count. Lucky shot, in the fog like that. A scope set on 8X, doesn't work all that well under those circumstances either.

Been downsizing in a serious way. Down to 6 big game rifles with maybe two of those going down the road.
Of what's left the 275Rigby will continue to see the most use and in crappy weather there's a SS 700 30-06 in a Brown Precision that gets the nod. The '06 has not been fired at game yet.

My 375 H&H. Sorry for the annoying question but what mount is that? Want to put the same scope on my M70 9.3X62. That looks like it would position it far enough forward for me, I'm a bit of a stock crawler.
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

I got a bucket list rifle last year. Lefty Weatherby MKV 270WBY. If I draw mule deer again it might get the call.

Either my 270 win super grade or Weatherby vanguard s2 in 30-06. I’ll use only one for the 2024 season, both deer and elk. Probably the 30-06. Over the last few years I’ve given all my other rifles to kids, grandkids, or close friends.

A Ruger tanger Stutzen in 308. Barrel looks too small in diameter to get a JES rebore to 358. So I need to blood it as is next year. 760 in 358 and a Savage 116 rebore in 9.3-62 needs blooded, thanks Diamond Jim. RZ.

Add another to my list. I picked up a very nice Model 70 Stainless 30-06 from a member here. I'll have to work up a Speer Grand Slam or Hornady SST load for it but I'll be ready. Dang deer season seems a long ways away...
