It was the "one that got away" when I was 16 and then acquired much later in life, can't let this one go. Browning 16 ga Citori white Lightning. I have many other shotguns that are better at doing one thing. But none of them are as versatile or as easy to hit with in most situations. From Snipe and partridge to Sporting Clays and giant Canadas, it's done it all. Sako L579 .308 with Karl Kaps 2.5-10 x 50 scope and original Sako peep sight. I started with a .308 as my first modern big game rifle. Never determined an actual need for anything different than a good .308 for all my big game hunting in this part of Canada. It would just be coming back full circle after trying and liking a couple dozen other rifles and cartridges ranging from a .250 Savage 99 to a Ruger RSM .375 H & H.

Remington 700 8mm Rem Mag - Handles anything from 150 or even 125 gr spitzers for open country deer/antelope up to stiff 250 gr Woodleighs for big beasties. Benelli 121 SL 80 12ga - The most deadly and reliable scattergun I've ever owned.

Here are my choices. 22LR is a Remington Nylon 66 that belonged to my father and one day will belong to my grandson Shotgun would be my synthetic camo stocked 870 Remington 12 Gauge with two barrels The centerfire rifle selection gave me the most trouble. Finally settled on my Remington 700ADL 30-06 cerakoted by EddieF with Gretan firing pin/spring and tuned trigger Second choice would be a Winchester Model 70 30-06 with a 24 inch tube that really shoots! So it's a Remington sweep!

The last Remington i had was an 870 super express 3.5. That was the biggest pos ever. It would not extract anything but remmy shells and that was ify. Don't get me wrong, but I still think and old 870 wingmaster is one of the greatest shotguns ever.
