Here is my number 1. Had it built as a light rifle in the early 80's when light rifles weren't as common as they are today. Rem 700 with BDL bottom, custom fit composite stock and Leupold 2-7 Compact scope with Weaver mounts. 7lb 2 oz including sling. Service rifle. The greatest battle implement ever devised. disregard the M94, she just gets jealous. and lastly grandpa's M54

Great thread. I am with you. I bought my 30-06 when I got back to hunting after college and LOVE it. It is the rifle I reach for; one that, when I fire at something, that something is dead. Even though I've spent 10x as much on customs this rifle is one I will never send up the road. I've hunted it in Texas, Michigan, and South Dakota. Mauser 96 American Straight-Pull 30-06 Burris 3-9x 40mm w/ BP Montana Sling I am planning to put TLWs & a Leupold 6x36mm w/ dots.

Winchester SS Classic Sporter, McMillan Edge. Technically no longer mine. I gave this 1980's PF Fwt to my son in law when he married my daughter. A 1994 Fwt SS Classic in an Edge stock.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Remington 700, PTG bolt, Rock barrel, McM Classic Edge stock, Timney trigger, PTG 3-position safety. 30-06, 0.337 neck. Assembled by Jim Kobe. Shoots pretty well also! Don't trust the chrono measurement--I've had issues with the chrono. Should be around 2740 fps.
