The majority of the guys that participate here are LOONYs. WE are afflicted or addicted to
firearms. I have multiple rifles of diff manufacture, diff stocks, diff cals, diff cartridges. I don’t keep a rifle I don’t like PERIOD.

Of all of mine, MY personal FAV is the Tikka T3 Lite SS in 270 OR 7 RM.
I’d just as soon to hunt one as the other. Some don’t believe me but it’s true
nonetheless — I cant tell the diff WHEN hunting.

For Big Game Hunting, not varmint, not small game, not plinking. — What is your personal FAV ?

There is no wrong answer !

Yeah, I understand. I’m not a semi auto fan but I really like bolts, pumps ( Rem Six ) and
Quality Single Shots. I can tell you what I like about any of them but for B G hunting the
LIGHT, S S, bolts Checks ALL the boxes for me. They MUST be flat shooting.

The frontier is 16" scout rifle, made for a short period before the Ruger Gunsite scout. It doesn't have the detachable magazine, muzzle brake and sights like the gunsite scout.
Posted By: DigitalDan Re: Your Personal FAV. - 06/05/19
Can't make up my mind. Probably one of them between .22 to .45 caliber (inclusive) and either a levergun, a bolt or single shot, or mebbe a O/U, SxS or a drilling.

Don't ask me stuff like this, it hurts my head. laugh

What manufacture are the scope rings on your Ruger ?
Posted By: JamesJr Re: Your Personal FAV. - 06/05/19
The last rifle I'd ever want to get rid of is a second year Model 700 Classic in 270 Win. Back in the day, I killed a truckload of whitetails with it, and if I've ever lucky enough to draw a Kentucky elk tag, it's the rifle I'll use for that.

As far as a favorite goes these days, I have several Model 700's and 7's that I hunt with. On any given day, I might have a certain "favorite" for that particular hunt.

Thanks. My wife likes the cabinets and countertops more than the rifle too! It is a pussycat to shoot with the brake, but I hate the noise they make. It shoots so good I just haven't messed with taking it off so I'll likely keep it on there. McWhorter makes some great rifles for sure.

Posted By: Bugger Re: Your Personal FAV. - 06/05/19
My ‘06’s are always good to go. My 270, 700 shoots 1/2 MOA 5 shot groups with mono bullets and Hornady bullets, my 7mm RM 700 is a 1/2 MOA shooter too.
I hunted with an ‘06 for 30 + years. 4 power scope (Weaver, then Leupold) ‘03 then 721. Now I like to try something different every year. This year it’ll be two 300’s, one a Savage 99 - for two deer hunts, and the other will likely be a new to me 300 Weatherby 700 (Unless it doesn’t shoot) then I’ll be using my old 300 Winchester Mag (700 of course) - for a moose hunt.

I may take a 358 Win on another deer hunt too (700 short action).

Favorite????? Ones that shoot accurately, handle nice, point nice etc.

T3 270 Win or same in 7 Rem mag. A slight edge goes to the 270, simply because it shoots so well with the whole spectrum of big game bullets. 110,130, & 150. Straight up factory synthetic stainless. Tough and repeatable. Good cold bore accuracy. I have no qualms about getting it filthy,wet, or bumped about. I do prefer a Yo Dave trigger spring,but can live without it.

ADDENDUM

It was Nov or Dec of 2007 and I was in that stand. NO deer were moving and around 9:30 AM I got down and came down that hill into
the C/O. I turned 90* R and took 2 steps and the buck was bedded down w/a Doe.
[Linked Image]



The buck took off straight away from me and I had the impression he was going to my L, I led him a little and shot BUT he went straight
before turning R. This time I led him a little more and shot. He SOMERSAULTED landing on his back - white belly up.
That skinned streak on his back is where he landed on a stump.!

That was 3 yrs. before I joined the 'fire' and didn't think to take a pic -- white belly shining in the sun. He weighed @ 185 #, Look close, that is the scale straight above his head.

Currently a first gen 700 titanium in 270 win topped with a swaro z5 3.5-18. Empty it weighs 6lbs.9oz. Light, accurate, rugged. Covers everything I need to do in PA. Second favorite is a Christensen ridgeline in 300RUM topped with a nightforce shv 5.5-20 for out west and long range work. I’ve got a ton more rifles, but those two would probably be the last to go as far as pure big game hunting rifles go.

Currently a 2006 ish Remington SPS 308 with barrel cut down to 20". Bedded it into a 60's era stock and mouted a 3-9x40 Conquest with Mil dots. It just satisfies.

My pet is a 280 put together by Greydog. Transition 1947 M70 action, 23” Stainless Pac Nor barrel in a Douglas type contour with a .575” muzzle, blind magazine with the metal all GunKoted. It is bedded in a Brown Precision Kevlar Pound’r stock. It wears a FX-II 6X36LR in super-low Leupold DD rings, weighs exactly 7 pounds and is a bit muzzle heavy. Perfection.

The photo shows it on the left with the green stock, and it’s tan 9.3X62 mate on the right.

My absolute favorite is my "Old Warrior". It's an early, 5 didget serial number, Remington 700 that started life as a 30-06 and got reamed out to 308 Norma Mag and put into a McMillan stock and either a Jard or Jewell trigger, all happened a long time ago and don't exactly remember anymore, and wears a Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8. Recoil pad gave it up a while back so I just use a Limb-Saver slip on. Sorry, not a picture guy, and pretty much all of my hunting was before the digital age. And cameras and film wasn't something I brought along on the remote hunting I used to do. But this rifle accompanied me on many an outing around the US and Canada, it's ridden in a scabbard beside me, floated in a canoe with me, walked many a mountain trail or meadow with me, slept in a tent beside me... accounted for moose, elk, deer, antelope and bear. And it's on about it's third sling. I'll try to get a couple pics attached.

Okay, I'll REthink this. ATST not all the deer I killed with my 300 WM were at long range on the lease but 2 were.
389 lasered & 402 lasered. But several were between 100-200.

It is a shame to have a great rifle and one you really like only to have it take up space. frown THNX
I put a new and different scope on it last year ANYWAY! ! grin It's a Swift Premier, 4-12 AO

[Linked Image]


This 70 Black Shadow is something of an enigma. It weighs MORE than it FEELS.
It's a tad over 8 lbs but I was SURPRISED it weighed that much. It has a trim stock - forend / grip and balances SO WELL, it feels good.

A delightful thread. Like many I can't do just one. The first I always reach for though is my Guide Gun in 45/70. I fullstocked my oldSwedish Mauser a while back. Had for over 30 years. It deserves a good hunt now. 722 in Bob is up there too. My 280 on the Encore platform i a great one. Who knows? That Swedish Rolling Block out in the shop is getting new wood and sights. Throwing more than an ounce of lead is a wonderful thing.

I know what y'all are saying. Every time I get ready to send it off to be checkered I put it back in the safe. I don't know that it will ever be "finished." I love a rifle with a fiddleback grain in the stock. The Husqvarna I showed has fiddleback grain from end to end if it is seen in the right light.

Jerry, that is a nice looking stock on your 284. It has the shape I like around the grip. I have a couple of 284's. I call them my only wildcats....7X6.5X284 Winchester, because of how I have to get the brass.
Posted By: jwall Re: Your Personal FAV. - 06/07/19
Thnx Mathsr

The wood doesn't have the best grain figure but it's there.

I don't like a tight wrist ( pistol grip) either. The shallow grip keeps my hand/wrist/forearm straighter. It's also more comfortable.

This one is a Mdl 98 8x57 wearing a 60's? vintage Bishop stock. Barrel was turned down and cut to 20". It's kinda bubba-esque but it handles well and was given to me when I was 14 by an old man that was like a grandfather. I've killed quite a few deer and black bear with it. I just like it, and with 195gr hornadys it stops stuff pretty quick. My 13 yr old has commandeered it now and that's fine by me.

M 70, 6.5X55. I got it from a member here who lives in Ky. It's only the second FTWT I've ever had and ALWAYS loved the stock.

The FIRST day I hunted it in 2012 --> SCORE

That is Where I was standing and Where he was STANDING ![Linked Image]

It was a cloudy day and I was in a Pine tree strip so it looks darker.

The blood is from him HITTING the ground !!
By the time I went back and got the wheeler the Sun was breaking out of the clouds.

Yeah it'd be NEAR impossible ! But If I ABSOLUTELY had to choose ONE.....
It has taken a lot of years and a lot of rifles, calibers, cartridges, etc but FOR ME, my hunting and hunting future.....
it'd be THIS ONE.
Tikka T3X Lite S S 7 mm RM. ---- I'd put a NEW scope on it....that one is @ 30 Years Old.

It weights ONLY 3 oz more than my T 3 Lite SS 270 w/ identical scope >> on the same scale.

Judman,

My pix are not copyrighted.

Feel free to use or abuse as you see fit.


Anywho, I aquired this rifle before deer season started here last year. It is the Browning Hell's Canyon Speed Long Range, 26 Nosler. Due to the negligible difference between their custom brass and loaded Trophy Grade Ammo, I purchased 5 boxes of loaded ammo.

[Linked Image]


[Linked Image]

I find that here lately, when I choose which half dozen rifles I'll take with me it seems to always be included.

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

Believe it or not, don't always hunt over bait. There is a water trough say 120 yds in the foreground. Turkey and hogs come to water, of an evening.

Sure enough, this sow came in with a sounder of shoats. My first shot clipped the concrete cistern and knocked her spinning.

As she was spinning away I caught her with a second shot over the cistern.

As close as I can come in a quick search is it was made after 2002. I bought it around 2009-2010. I don't remember for sure which year I got it. I had it rebarreled locally by a gentleman who only takes on a small amount of work and then only what he wants to work on. He had a Petrov 400 reamer and is a big fan of the cartridge. The stock is the original factory stock. I hogged out the barrel channel for the Shilen barrel and had another local smith, Andy Fields, drill and tap for the Lyman 48, install the barrel band swivel and front sight, both NECG. Andy also did the rust blue. He's no longer in Alaska. Arizona now I think.

First, I'm not a 'shopper' as such so I've never looked for a r/b plaid coat, so if I don't remember ever seeing one for sale.

Second, I showed your pic to my wife and told her to keep an eye out.

After a reasonable amount of time I plan to hit Ebay or Amazon etc. to see what might be available.

It has never given me a problem about holding zero BUT I never depend on shooting from
months past.

I’ll post pix whenever I get to shoot it, hopefully tomorrow.

Have to be my Borden 280 AI.

Currently running 140 AB’s as it has given me no reason to look any further. Have yet to even toy with 150’s, which is my favorite bullet weight in 284 or 308.

It's a Colt Lightning Large frame.

My fav is a Ruger mini 6.8 SPC, quick handling and mild recoil, big enough bullets for my needs of deer, coyotes and maybe a hog or 2. The gun I shoot the most is a Ruger 10/22 TD, great plinking and cheap shooting.

It is a Colt Lightning large frame. They only made 6500 total rifles in the large frame in 4 chamberings. This is a short rifle in 40-60-260 which is the same as the 40-65 Winchester. Winchester also made a 40-60 cartridge in the 1876, but it is different than this 40-60 and the 40-65...

I'm not sure how Y'all can pick a favorite rifle but this one gets a lot of use in the thick woods every fall. I have finally gotten it set up like I want with a peep sight and a nice recoil pad. I'm not sensitive to recoil at all, it just keeps it from slipping when I lean it in the corner. wink A warm 45/70 load in a light rifle does sometimes shift your point of balance which might not be good in a tree stand.

Jerry; sorry for the crappy pictures I know I have better ones somewhere...

Here are the two favourites

1 Cheapy vanguard 7-08 with the Tupperware stock with the rubber inserts griptonic I think they call it. SHV 3-10. Heavy thing but it shoots well, easy to practice with and stuff dies, boringly reliable

[Linked Image]

2 M70 factory rifle would not co-operate so it got a new barrel, Macmillan stock, Swarovski 2-12. Of all my rifles past and present this has the most miles travelled, the most game taken.

[Linked Image]

I'll see if I can find pictures of the rifles on their own.

I have other favourites but if I need to be 100% confident of the rifle on a hunt one of these two get picked.

Since you ruled out varmint rifles.................. my favorite "other" rifle is a Winchester M70 Classic Synthetic Matte, restocked in a B&C stock, 24" standard barrel, in .270 WInchester. It has a Leupold Vari-XII 3-9X scope, Pretty plain vanilla. It shoots great, though, throwing 130gr. Sierra ProHunters into a 1/2" when I do everything right. It still shoots well when I don't do everything right. I call it "Old Death", and whenever I have it in hand, deer just come in and fall over, because they know they can't outrun the bullet. It's a "lucky rifle", and that can't be discounted at all.

If you include varmint rifles, that would be a CZ 527 in .204 Ruger, I've never missed a shot at a critter with it. It's "lucky", too.

10/4,

Copy that!

Besides calling my lease at Reagan Wells, "the Petting Zoo", I also refer to it as my "Beer Lease" as opposed to a deer lease. I've now been there 14 years. When we first got on it was not uncommon to see six or more bucks in a 3 day period, plus does. We allow for two bucks and two does even though Uvalde is a 5 deer county. Around 2007 the Rancher decided clear out some of the brush and cedar. To do this they take two TD-30's or equivlalent and stretch about 100' of anchor chain between the dozers and take off. It knocks over every thing in its path. Then they come back and push up all the brush in piles. After that, my original location which was a deer high-way previously, I did not see a deer for the next three years. Next we had a drought, and then anthrax which we believe caused a pretty good deer die off. What with the coyotes, the big boars and a couple of cougars, the deer number remain scarce.

In addition, we are located on a ranch road that folks have to pass through on to get to their leases. One of the reasons I go up during the week rather than the weekend.

I had not shot a deer there in 3 years before I went ahead and took this buck I called "The Claw". We are on a 1,700 acre pasture, that if you flattened out the hills would probably be more like 3,000 acres. For 3 years, on occasion, and only at night we would catch this guy on game cam on different parts of the lease a mile or so apart. He had a growth under his jaw about the size of a baseball, which made him very easy to distinguish. Never once did I actually lay eyes on him, nor did we have a picture of him during the day. Not only did I shoot him on my birthday, about 10 minutes before the end of shooting light, but also found a knife that I'd lost two years before in a dry creekbed. I shoulda' gone and bought a lottery ticket that night.

Very very well finished barrel and it’s been shot enough that the action is as smooth as glass. Trigger breaks at 3lbs and it’s set mode breaks at 10 oz. Shoots well.

Ziess glass on qd mounts and the irons are regulated at 50 yards for its load.

I think I remember you running a 270 quite a lot. That’s the same rifle as my 300 RUM and I like it quite a bit. Huge departure from the 70’s I usually carry but so far the rifle is doing real well for me.

Good luck with those tags. I hope to be in Idaho in Oct for elk and deer myself. Can’t wait to hit the hills!

Posted By: Hook Re: Your Personal FAV. - 07/18/19
I find that the older I get, the older are the rifles, and calibers, that I prefer. In the time I have left to hunt, I plan to only use those favorites and have been getting rid of the ones I no longer favor. I no longer own a composite stocked rifle, the last one (1992 M700 stainless 280 purchased new), went to a friend a couple of months ago. The newest rifle currently in my safes is a CZ 550FS 6.5X55. The next newest are a couple of M600 Remingtons and then it goes back to the fifties and beyond. My current favorite is a 1939 built 1903 M-S stutzen with a 4X Hensoldt Dialytan scope.

It just occurred to me that I forgot about the 3 ARs I have. They're new and composite stocked, so I guess I lied about that. Anyway, I consider them merely tools to have and play with.....not to hunt with. Mainly, I keep them around just to pizz off liberals!

I’d just as soon to hunt one as the other. Some don’t believe me but it’s true
nonetheless — I cant tell the diff WHEN hunting.

For Big Game Hunting, not varmint, not small game, not plinking. — What is your personal FAV ?

There is no wrong answer !

Well, you obviously are way over-penetrating.

That is a beaut, ingwe!

the 700 classic in 250 sav is a mighty fine rifle. accuracy, little recoil, great stock design, decent wood, aged purple bolt handle, jeweling, balance, low report ... whats not to like.

I can’t believe a guy as savvy as you say you are, hasn’t set a trap to catch the pack rat that keeps dumping all that $hit you have in your tunnel. If you put a picture of yourself near the trapdoor of that bunker, that rat may just feel sorry for you and start taking that junk instead of leaving it for you to take pictures of...

Laughing profusely, watching your continual misuse of a camera and the English language...

Does your retardity know no bounds?

Stupidity has got you beaten and you don’t even know it...

Take the bait you moron, Hint...


lol. Sucked the little man in
