I'm sticking with what I said 6 months ago. My .358 Model 7 blacktail thwacker, now upgraded to 375-yard status, and my .325 WSM Montana. Where one leaves off, the other TAKES off in spades. I think it's an oddball, and yet perfect, combo. However... heh heh... just for backup purposes you understand I'll also be bringing my .338 to Colorado and most likely my .325 BLR to elk camp in Oregon. That's my plan, and I'm stickin' to it!

I dunno yet....everything shoots; everything is behaving fine,and I'm not having any rifle problems right now(!),so almost anything may go.One thing for sure is that,whatever rifle it is,it'll have a 270 or 7mm hole in the barrel.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Once September rolls around, I'll be taking the 300 ultra to Kodiak for goat and deer. I'll pack along one of the 257 roy's to POW in October for deer and black bear. And life wouldn't be the same without having the 358 Norma in hand to look for moose and chase bear. Got plenty of hunts lined up this year, and with a year old house, there is room on the walls for stuff!

Jeff: All the "dogs" and usless stuff is gone;and everything I have now is just plain old "good".I keep looking for a reason to mess with stuff, but it ain't there....so I just went and bought another rifle yesterday Maybe I will find "torment"....... Not happy unless I'm anguishing over something.....

Being as I will not be hunting out of state this year I will stick with my pre-64 Model 70FW, .270 Win for whitetail and black bear. I do have a new .338 Win Mag, Classic Model 70. I want to blood it, so I will take at least one deer with it too. I will use several different 12 gauges (Win 21 & Mossberg 535) for dove, upland game, rabbit, and later turkeys in the spring.

Mule deer in NM will get the Model 7 in .260 with a 125 grain Partition.
Texas whitetail will get either a .223, .22-250, or other .22 centerfire that I'm in the mood for. I will then post pictures in the Campfire b/c .22 centerfires can't kill deer.
Varmints will get either a .22 magnum, .223, .22 Hornet, or .204 Ruger dependent on mood.

Savage ML, Monarch 4x40 Encore ML, Monarch 4x40 .358 Win, M7, VXIII 1.75-6, still hunting 30-06, M700, FXIII 6x42, stand hunting
All for deer. I like the muzzleloaders and enjoy hunting with them. A few more rifles may go into the mix, depending on time....I'm especially looking forward to a 35 Whelen from Mr. Feldkamp, but it may not arrive in time.

Whitetails will be the 700 Classic Whelen and a MArlin 1894 in 44 mag that I acquired last year.
The vermin....well...the rimfires, 223, 243, and a 25-06 I got this spring.

Several of my firearms are big game virgins, something I look forward to changing. Among them, the options are as follows:
Marlin 336CS .30-30 170g Speer FP 170g Nosler Partition RN
Ruger M77 .257 Roberts 120g A-Frame 115g TSX
Reminton M700 BDL .308 Win 165g North Fork 165g TSX 168g TTSX
Remington M700 Special Purpose Wood .30-06 165g North Fork 165g TSX 168g TTSX
Savage 111GNS .30-06 168g TTSX
Ruger Super Redhawk .44 Mag 240g Speer JFP 300g Speer Uni-Cor SP
Game will be doe antelope, buck deer, and cow and bull elk.
Lots of time left to decide.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I'll be toting Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70 and a Ruger No.1A in 30-06 as a back-up..
Speak softly and use a big bore... Where's El Cid when we need him...
