Rem 700 7mm08 with full length over barrel suppressor. Easy on the ears but a few years too late b, great pic. Does not look like the stag went anywhere after the shot. Please tell us more about the rifle - especially the moderator. Handling, weight, service, noise reduction, how does the game react... Thanks,

the barrel is cut to 18 inches and turned down so the rifle is still the same weight and length as it was originally [24in bbl]Still handles the same.Its not silent but the sharp noise that hurts your ears is gone.Animals are often confused with the noise direction specially at longer range which is handy if you want to shoot more than one of them.I usually only use this rifle in the bush because of the 18in barrel and use another rifle with an ordinary suppressor in open country

The one rifle that I use the most for big game hunting is a Rem. 700 in 7 rem mag. but it wont be the rifle that I take if I ever draw a goat tag.
Why not?

My new all-around favorite rifle. Sako A7 in 300WSM with a 6x42LR. Simple, reasonably light and accurate. Trajectory/wind drift matches up almost perfectly with my old 270WCF ADL/6x36LR but the A7 is about a pound lighter.

There sure are lots of crappy old Leupolds on these rifles!

My favorite rifle, a 1989 Ruger .257 Roberts. Purchased in like new condition in 2004. The scope is a used Leupold 4.5-14x. No battery is complete without some �lever action satisfaction�. From the top, a Marlin 1895 .45-70, Marlin 375 in .375 Winchester, Marlin 336 in .30-30, Browning B92 in .44 Mag. My latest addition, a 2001 Ruger MKII in .30-06. It currently has a used Leupold M8 4x in the rings, probably the same one that was on the Roberts when I bought it. (The other is on the Marlin 375, no way to know which is which.) It will soon be swapped with a Burris FFI w/ Ballistic Plex in 3-9 or 4.5-14. Makes a nice match with its older brother, a M77 in walnut and blue. Hope to get out next weekend and shoot it�

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.

IMO this rig is hard to beat for a do all rig. LVSF in 7-08, McMillan Mt rifle, worked over by Karl, VX-III 3.5x10x40 in QD talleys. I keep building rigs to try and better this one and keep going back to it for a bunch of real good reasons.
