25-06AI

338WM

243AI

What day is this?

25-284..................

.45-70 Gov.

I'm out......

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

30-06.

250 Savage

Poll first...then we'll argue over the results!

358 Norma Mag

7-08

7x57

I can't believe we've gone two pages and no one has mentioned the .308.

There ... I said it. What else can I add, other than I like vanilla ice cream, too.

.270W.

It ain't the chambering that makes it so special. If it were in ANY other caliber, and shot like it does, it would still be my favorite.

.308 at this instant. Better post quick

7mm Shooting Times West

6.5x55 swede

Sunday (The Lord's Day) - 270 win.
Monday - 7mm-08
Tuesday - 280 rem.
Wednesday - 308 win
Thursday - 300 Wby
Friday - 25-06 rem
Saturday - 223 rem

Toss up .257 Weatherby and .22-250AI

223AI or 250AI, can't decide.

Fixed it for ya.

280AI

Cant decide between 243, 30-30, or 270

Vary with what I'm hunting but overall my 7x57 or 280 Ack

300 H&H Magnum

.375 H&H.

.30-06

260 rem

We all probably seek this Holly Grail, but for most, this quest ends up being a moving goal post with us leaving a carnage of rifles and cartridges within our wake. As for me, no matter which direction I may stray, I seem to always find a center balance when I come back to the 30-06 Springfield.

Best:)

.300 Wby

8mm JS Mauser

300 Savage

My favorite rifle is the Weatherby Mark V.

My favorite cartridges are.

22 Long Rifle - rimfire

6.5 Remington Magnum - centerfire

7mm-08

6mm Rem

338 Fed

Let's line 'em all up..... and let's disregard the multiples in each caliber.....

.222
.223
.243
7-08
7mm RM
.30-06
.375
.45-70
.458

and the winner is?

.222 -- Because it is just too damn much fun to leave in the back of the safe.

My go-to hunting rifle is .300 Win Mag.

When I head out to the range, it's my 25.06 Rem.

30-06

8x57

257 Wby Mag.

270 Win

That's also been my favorite for over 30 yrs for deer/antelope/sheep.

My .300 Wby is fast becomming my favorite for all North
American animals.

And my .375 Ultra mag is my favorite for Africa.

Ruger M77 .257 Roberts is the favorite.

Ruger M77 in 7mm RM is the one I've had the longest (by 20 years if talking only big game bolt guns) and taken the most game with.

35 Whelen, but my 7X57 is closing fast.

No love for the .264 WM?
That aint right.

257 Roberts.

A toss up- My Model 700 338-06 is a proven Elk killer. My Sako 338-08AI is slightly more accurate and a dream to carry.
210 gr against a slightly slower but still potent 200 gr.

7x57

I really like:

My 257 Roberts.

My 270's

My 7RM

My 7 Mashburn(newbie),and

My old 375H&H

Too soon to tell. The package my wifes 250AI is in is my favorite. I'll dupe it in 243AI. Pretty hip on the 22-250AI and 708 too.

257 Roberts

460 S&W

264WM

pre 64s in Model 70 270, 30-06 and 375...depends on what I am hunting...like them all...

Rem 700 300RUM or a Savage 7mm STW depending on what it's pointed at.

hoping it will be the new .303 Brit!

Howa 1500 in 223Rem
Howa 1500 in 243 Win
Ruger Hawkeye in 270 Win
Parker Hale in 7 X 57
Howa 1500 in 30-06

CK

I probably haven't yet hunted with every caliber that I will hunt with, but for now, it's 7x57.

long action... .280 Rem
short... .308 Win

280 & 300 WSM

30-06

Ruger 77 35 Whelen for hunting, Marlin 1894 44 mag for walkabout/plinking.

7 Mashburn Super for me

Dober

223
22-250
250 Sav
I just can't decide with is my favorite...

7mm SAUM

223 Rem

Brett (Mac)

Can't even begin to select. That would be like picking a favorite child.

Must be the .35 Remington, that's the one that always finds it's way to the Jeep with me.

257 Roberts

Lotsa favorites, but 358 Win for my type of hunting in cover where 250yds would be a loooong shot.

Classic caliber from days gone by, and does it with big thump in a small package with short action. Can be put in just about any short action, light weight package you like.

"Style", epitomized.

250 Savage in a bolt rifle!

Currently having a fling with the .350 Rem Mag....it only recently replaced the 7X57.

7rm

I'm going to put a plug in for my 7.5x55 Swiss.

CZ 452 in 22 long rifle for playing. M70 300WSM for hunting.

.280 Rem

I have favorite rifles, not chamberings. In a well set-up mauser with decent wood, it could be .270, .280, 30-06, 7 rem mag, it makes no difference.

20mm from M-61A1

300 win.

700 Ti .308

300WM

35 Whelen or 30-30 wcf

.25-06. For a long time.

I'm a Savage Model 99 guy....
Love the 300 Savage caliber...

7X57

300WSM Sako A7

I said 243AI, but I meant 300 H&H, or was that 375H&H?

If you make me pick just one I'd say a Remington 700 7mm Rem Mag....(24" barrel).............Hillbilly.

+1

7x64

.30-06, I stray off with other calibers from time to time but the good ol' dependable '06 never fails me.

The legendary .270 Winchester in a 24" barrel.

7mm/STW

open country M 70, 6.5x55. brush country 444. jump it and shoot hunting M 99 250-300.

Winchester Featherweight .308, and Remington Classic .35 Whelen.

35 whelen

Too-Forty-Tree Vinchester

Ken

Absolute favourite Brno #4 22LR
338 win mag Ruger m77 tang safety
3006 Tikka T3 in spite of my best efforts to not like it
257 Roberts Ruger MkII long action wood blue

The last two flip flop depending on which one I am shooting at the time.

Well i think its going to be the 300 Winchester magnum Herter U9 (BSA action)That I just bought. My only question is what am i going to shoot with it in South Carolina????

.30-30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

browning 260 cal best i have ever hunted with by for

270 Win, with a certain 30-06 a close second.

Smart Feller

Cult Leader

quickly becoming my kimber montana in 308. Synthetic stock so I don't care about scratches and it carries like a dream

30-06 somedays, others 338 WM Just depending

Follower here....

I do love that thing...and would likely love it as well if it were a 7RM.......but that long 175 NPT at almost 3100,and those various 160-162's at 3200 are heady to contemplate.....

Sub-one category "Shock and Awe"....

7mm SAUM!!!

140Gr @ 3200
160Gr @ 3000
175Gr @ 2900

.5 MOA @ 100yds

Efficient, light, hits hard, low recoil and very accurate...whats not to like?

Remington 7600 35 Whelen and Marlin 336 30-30 WCF.

.280 Rem.

.257 Roberts

1) .22 Long Rifle

2) .30-06 Springfield
