I’ve got a new to me Interarms Whitworth full stocked rifle in the mighty 7x57. Really likes the 160 Partition. It’s topped with a 2.5-8 Leupold right now, it really needs a 1.5-5 but they all seem to be gold plated now. Don’t have a current picture, just this from when I first bought it. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RZS7RKPS/IMG-3795.jpg) russian image host

The same as for the previous 33 years, and my only hunting rifle….my Win. Model 70, 375 AI. Unless, I decide to use my handgun. I guess it will depend on the terrain that we’re hunting in! memtb That is a big round for elk. Is this in case you bump into a cantankerous grizzly? No sir, it’s the only hunting rifle that use. I built it many years ago thinking that Africa and Alaska was in my future…..it wasn’t. It’s worked quite well for many years, from the occasional coyote to moose. I simply believe in firearm familiarity…..thinking that I will/should be more proficient with it. Hopefully continued use will help justify it’s expense, plus I like it! 😉 memtb I used my .375 H&H when I hunted elk in western Wyoming. Saw a few grizzlies, but not up close thankfully.

Well I’m planning what will probably be my last elk hunt (for a multitude of reasons with the primary one being age)….have two rifles that I’ve always wanted to use for this application and never got around to it (again for various reasons😄): one is a Mauser 99 in 8X68S and the other is a custom 1903 Springfield in .358 Norma Magnum. Both are very accurate with 200g Accubonds in the 8X68s and 225 grain Accubonds in the .358 - may come down to a coin flip although I may book a moose hunt in a year or two so the one that doesn’t go on this trip will go on the other! This of course if plans don’t change for reasons outside of my control?!!
Some really nice rifles on here!

I'm currently hoping to draw in NM, WY (cows) and going CO OTC if/when those fail. Plan on taking a customized Rem 700 in 300WM that I put together last year; 24" Bartlein 2B, Manners EH3 stock, TriggerTec Special, Leupold VX6HD 3-18x50 with B&C. Load is going to be 180NABs over H4831. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/SsHs4Rhl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/PDwzMXgl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/DU7dwFkl.jpg) back up will be my little Rem M7 in .350RM in a manners EH8

Great looking 300 Chuck. Tough to beat a great 300 Win like that.

Chuck, a beautiful rifle at a good/practical weight for a “hunting rifle”! And as MAP 1 said…….no “weed burner” attached to the muzzle! memtb
