I watched the Repeat shows on History Channel Sunday and was trying to ID the rifle used by Old Tom Oar when he was trying to call in Wolves near his Cabin.A Carbine bolt action of some sort but I could not make out the specific type action. Rich SINGLE SHOT on his Mule Deer hunt? Marty had a Ruger 77 stainless on his Moose hunt caliber?

AMRA -
I watch the series and I've seen the rifles you mention BUT...
the only one I can positively identify is a Rem 700 that Tom Oar used but NOT necessarily when after wolves.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

I think when Marty shot a caribou with that gun on a different episode I believe he mentioned it was a 338 win mag. due to bears being in the area.

Ive seen Tom's Remington but I was trying to figure out the wolf rifle myself. It looked to me to be a Winchester 70 Carbine, not many of them made.
I believe DL57 is right about the 338 mag thing also. Rich's single shot looks like a Browning but I could be off.

I don't watch that show enough to know the names of the characters, but one of them uses a Ruger No. 1, and I've seen a Ruger 77 and also what looks like a Win 70 carbine of some sort.
Bring enough gun and know how to use it.

I've only watched it a couple of times, don't even know the men's names. One rifle looked like a sporterized Mauser, another a lot like a pre-64 Winchester. Nether was a "new" rifle by any means.

Thanks for the help! Tom Oar is the Oldest man in the show that lives in The Yak Valley? in Montana. I seen him carry the old Remington FOR A WHILE NOW it has some sort of Bronze Medallion in the butt stock. The episode Sunday he had hurt his knee and had wrapped it in a ace bandage.He took a OLD snow mobile and the Bolt action carbine no medallion this time. I tried to ID the safety on it but it did not look like ANYTHING I have ever seen before. Thanks Any Way AMRA

I believe Marty was using an older Husqvarna on one of the episodes. I remember the episode with Tom but don't recall the rifle. I'll have to catch it again.

Marty's favorite rifle is "Bone Crusher" his 358 Norma mag.

That must have been the Mauser sporter that I saw.

Yes, we mean Marty Meierotto. As I said, his long time favorite rifle is his .358 Norma mag "Bone Crusher" but he also uses a number of other rifles - including a MK X Mauser 25-06 that I sold him a few years ago.

I read an article about Marty years ago, but didn't make the connection that he was on this show until Phil mentioned "bone crusher". That nickname and rifle always come to mind when someone mentions the 358 Norma.

If I remember correctly "Bone Crusher" is also built on a MkX Mauser.
