Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What's in your rifle battery?

Sibelius - LOL! Unfortunately, those guys go far but not far enough! A couple of those guys are driving everyone away, though!
<br>
<br>Anyway, will probably be popping back & forth between sites. Is Bearhunter, Klallen, Ruttin etc over here yet? Have to get used to finding my way around here! LOL!
<br>

Not bragging but I have too many to list so I'll list the ones I like the best.
<br>Rem VSSF 223
<br>Rem VSSF 22-250
<br>Rem custom 257 STW
<br>Rem Sendero SF 25-06
<br>Rem Sendero SF 300 Ultra Mag
<br>Rem custom 308
<br>Rem custom 223
<br>Springfield super match M1A
<br>Bushmaster DCM match rifle
<br>Winchester pre 64 375 H&H
<br>
<br>Do I need them all? Yes I do
<br>

Wow Dan, you have some cool stuff. Regards, N.L.

Here goes:
<br>
<br>Ruger MKII in 375/404 shortened to standard length so I can use the Stainless action.
<br>
<br>Springfield Armory M-25 Carlos Hathcock
<br>
<br>Marlin 1895 GS 45-70 (Stainless Guide Gun)
<br>
<br>The above just about covers it for me, The 375/404 could take DG very reliably, even in Africa and could take some pretty long shots as well. There is nothing like shooting prairie hogs and varmints with the M-25... trust me. Finally, the 1895 is good for just about anything within 150 yds.

I think I may "have it covered".
<br>Five Rem 700's:VSSF 223,MR257Rbts.,MRSS 270,ADL/FS 7RemMag,BDL 300 WinMag.Sako Varmint 22-250 and a Win70 30-06.If I can't get by with these,what do I need?I have a feeling someone is going to tell me.

Sib,
<br>
<br>Sorry, I don't like Weatherbys, just because I'm not a bog fan of Monte Carlo stocks--or, as a buddy called them, "broken" stocks. The most I'll grant is the "drop" stock beloved of CZ and other Euro rifles.
<br>
<br>I know, the MC stock gets your eye up to the scope--but considering I hardly ever use a scope.... well, you know that about me.
<br>
<br>If I do have a problem with lining up eye to scope, I use a "wrap" on the stock. But I like my stocks the way they were intended--straight.
<br>
<br>As for matching rifles... hmmm lemme think about that a while. Although any bolt action is fine by me, as long as it's a Mauser 98 or clone.

Gotta love these kind of questions!
<br>
<br>1. 30-06 actually the only gun i would really need (own it)
<br>
<br>2. 45-70 for the big stuff ( buying it)
<br>
<br>3. Savage 99 takedown in 250-3000 for lighter stuff (dreaming of it)
<br>
<br>different choices perhaps but thats what makes this interesting!
<br>
<br>Good hunting

<br>Jeff
<br>Oh yeah I'v got an SKS but I don't talk about it.

Well, I just acquired a couple more.Another Rem 700,this one in 22-250,makes 6 700's from 223 to 300 Win, and a Ruger M77MKII in 223,Also picked up a Sako L579 action,what caliber it will become is yet undecided.Good rifles are like money and girlfriends,can't have too much or too many.
