Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles pics of our perfect all around hunting rifles

For this neck of the woods, it's pretty hard to beat this combo in 308.

That's a nice looking rig SC, now just matte finish it all and remove the sights and it'll be model perfecto for me...grin

Bet she shoots well..

Way too many "favorites" to pick just one..........

My favorite for the longest:






It's the rifle in the foreground, a Sako FiberClass 270 WIn

Below, three of my current favorites, (at least for this week):

L to R

A Rem KS in 270 Win., a Rem Ti in 7-08, & a Rem MR, faux Ti in 280 Rem





In truth, what one will do, so will the others.............

My serious go-to rifle, Vanguard 300 WM, Pacific Research stock, VX-III 4.5x14x40 on Burris Signature rings and Leupold bases, Harris bipod, recently completely re-blued and glass bedded...



My not so serious, when mulie and elk seasons are over, whitetail rifle. Marlin 336 30.30, Elite 3x10x40 Compact, Burris Signature rings on a Leupold one-piece base...

I can see this rig turning into one of my best, ever. 375H&H

This wild Dog decided my son could be tasty, bad move. He started to move in at a pace on him, at 90 yards I ended it.

That was my grandfather's rifle, so it's a keeper for sure. Waaaaay back when, I shot my first deer with it.

I likes 180gr Hornadys. Kinda slow with the big bullets from a Carbine 308, but it sure does trouble to deer.

Beautiful gun! One of those ae on my short list!

I like Mausers for hunting rifles. The extractor means business!
The top rifle is an FN Mauser 30-06 sold by JC Higgins.
The second is a Belgian Browning Safari 30-06.
The bottom is an old MK X Mauser 30-06 made in Czechoslovakia.
The rifles are not afraid to get scratched up, it looks good on the resume!

Kimber Montana .308 Win:

See my sig. picture-
M70 Fwt pushfeed(yeah, yeah, I know!)
Mickey stock
Talley LW's
Kahles 3-9X42 TDS reticle
130gr partition in front of 60 grains of H4831SC for 3100fps.
1/2 MOA(3 shots) on a good day.
Makes me happy...

300 Win Mag. Model 70 Classic, Pacnor Supermatch 3 groove 10 twist throated for 180 Partitions, McM Supergrade, Williams bottom, 3.5-10x40 in Talleys, smith'd by John Ricks back in the day. Coming up fast on 3 dozen species taken...

Here's another in the works. JC Higgins/FN with new stainless 7x57 bbl.

That is a bloody nice looking rifle there 340. No flies on that push feed either!

Thanks,340!
I admit I have been pretty pleased with it, especially since I put that McMillan on there. Shoots much better now than it did with the factory stock.
I am also exceedingly pleased with how well it shoots the 130gr partition. Load development for that rifle is a thing of the past, methinks.

This one worked "perfect" for me on two species (not sure that that counts as "all around") last fall

.300 Weatherby Ultra Light, 180 grain Accubonds (3,180 fps).
