Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Any 2, but only 2, hunting rifles...

Oh man tough question.

I guess of the ones I've owned 7-08 and 300wsm.

Bigwhoops 257Rob and 300wsm Kimbers are a hell of a combo.

Something deep inside me craves a .280 and muledeers 338 RCM.

I could easily get by with a 260 and my -06.

I guess since it can only be two I'll go 7-08 and 300wsm.

Kimber Montanas in 7-08 and 300 WSM, topped with 2.5-8x36 B&C & 6x42 LRD respectively...but I am not willing to play by the rules of the post - I will also need my Kimber of Oregon 22LR and some kind of 223, maybe another Montana just for continuity...grin.

My two will work just fine!

Light rifle:

300 WSM Ruger Frontier compact w/ `06 AI ballistics. I rotate two scopes on this rifle, a 2.5-8x28 Nikon Monarch EER scout and a 1.5-5x20 VX111. It`s noisier, has recoil, but is very accurate, handles better than any bolt rifle, and a joy to carry anywhere. A short barrel but with a very long reach.

Heavy rifle:

.375 Ruger Alaskan w/1.5-5x20 VX111 #4. Self explanatory.

Husqvarna .30-06 and Browning Safari .375H&H

Centerfire rifles

Remington Ti in 7mm-08
M70 in .338 Win Mag

Of rifles I already own:
Sako Finnbear 25-06
Sako Classic AV rebarreled to .35 whelen

if I was buying new:
Sako 85 in 7-08
Sako 85 Greywolf in 9.3x62

223AI & 30/06

The same two who've been doing it for me for the last 2 plus decades.

G33/40

700 mag

I have a thing for spending time with and getting intimate with rifles that are serious rigs of mine. Sure I do the project here and there but these two have done most of my work for a long time and will do the lions share of it for me till I am done hunting.

Now if I could find a really nice French Select Kimber I may just be tempted to carry a wood gun again and get it very bloody and muddy...grin

In spirit of the other thread .... I think TWO hunting rifles is TOO MANY!!!

Remington 7 CDL 308 ( I think they made it) Fixed 6


RFemington 700 XCR 300 win mag 2.5-10x40

Only two serial numbers for North America?

Then something I have, Savage .30-06 110gr - 200gr
And something I really want T/C Pro-hunter

.257 Roberts and .30-06. But I've never hunted in North America or Canada so I'm only stating what I would use here in Australia.

Thank you very much.

NULA, Kimber Montana, Model 7 - 308
Empire Mauser, Model 70 - 375H&H, Ruger - 375 Ruger

300hh and 375 hh both pre 64 model 70 with custom stocks ,beuhler mounts and 3.5-10 leupold on the 300 and 1.5-6 leupold on the 375 and they are both in my safe !!Both are very accurate and reliable.

I second Steelhead's suggestions! I'm doing pretty much the same thing right now, except I have a .338 Win instead of the 30-06.

.22 lr

30-06.

For all around deer/elk hunting...

Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 270 WSM. Long, flat and fast. Nice light rifle that hits all the main buttons as good as any, and better than some for twice the dough.

For bigger stuff, were I to be interested...

325 WSM, pretty much the same rifle.

(And for smaller stuff, something like a 204 Ruger in a CZ)

Remmy Ti - 270 Win (old version)

SS M70 - 338 Win Mag

Maybe throw 'em both in an Edge...

If this isn't centerfire only I agree with tzone. Instead of
223Rem & 30-06 I'll take 22LR & 30-06.

On the low end, I'd take a 260/7mm-08/7WSM on Remington action. For the upper end, give me a 375 Ruger.
