Share some pics of your favorites,mine is a Remington 700 Bdl ssDm 7 Mag I ordered from the Rem custom shop and have been using as my all around big game hunting rifle for about 4 years now.the reciever was engraved by Rem and I had the stock and bipod powder coated in a tan prarie style camo color,I love having the detachable magazine,makes it real easy to switch loads in the gun I always carry on mag full of accubonds so i dont waste my partitions on coyotes and badgers!!lolHere is a pic of the rifle with a few of my "pets".

My favorite tried and true hunting rifle would be my Browning A-Bolt 30.06 Stainless Stalker.  Taken a few deer for me in not the best conditions.  My new favorite is my Kimber 84 M Montana, here is a pic with a couple of my pets (Sorry, HAD TO DO IT!!  :-D)

It's new and I haven't actually hunted with it yet, but mine is a Remington Mountain LSS in 7MM-08 which wears a Burris 3-9X40 with Ballistic Plex Reticle.

OK, it is between my Sako 375H&H or my Tikka 300 Win Mag. Both topped with Leupold glass.  :D

Mine has to be my remington .270 bdl with a burris 3x9 scope. I do however have a .243 for a back up. Love them both, but have more confidence in the .270

My favorite deer rifle is a Remington 760 in 30-06 that I bought from my Dad several years ago.  I love the gun, plus it was Dad's rifle so it means alot to me.

Although i havnt even hunted with it yet my remington 600 in 308 will be my favorite from now on. It is setup perfect with a burris compact ballistic plex compact 3x9 and has a crisp 2.5 lbs trigger and ahndles like a dream. My new marlin 444P will also see equal field time in the swamps and thinckets in alabama were i hunt this season. I havnt done anything cept scope it with a weaver 1x3 and put a sling on it. I hope to slick up the action and trigger later though. My old 3030 got a new small scope this year, one that fits it better than the ugly 3x9 my dad put on it years ago so it willl se some field time to. My poor ole ruger 77 in 3006 might get a few days in the woods but not many as i have all these new toys to ring out. Sry for winded post.

Good luck in the game fields this year gents,

For groundhogs my current favorite rifle is my new CZ527 American in .221 Rem Fireball. Easily a 200 yard gun and shoots 0.5MOA or less with 40 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. Terminal ballistics are great!!

I would have to say my savage 110 caliber 338-06. It hits hard and is easy to shoot. I choose it because it is an unusual caliber. It has accounted for enough deer to make it a go to gun in any situation. I built it to hunt Elk. Someday I will, until then it is our freezer filler.

Hi All,

       Well it's a very difficult decision to make, but if I had to come down to have just one I am thinking it could be this one :-




The rifle is chambered in 30-30 Winchester and as you can see is a bolt action, made by a Husband & Wife team called Medwell & Perritt it's a one off. I use 125-130 grn spitzers loaded to around 2800fps and it's very effective as the picture shows. Oh the Deer is Fully grown, it's a Muntjac and this was the first Deer shot wiht this rifle. It's accurate as well :-

As this picture shows, 3 shot group 100 yds.

   The only drawback is that the stock whilst having very good figure is heavy, the walnut is very dense and the 30-30 would limit it from hunting certain species. However seeing as I am not wealthy enough to start chasing around the globe hunting huge exotics that's not a problem.

For buck hunting, it is still my LH 700 7 mag with lightly shortened Bell & Carlson camo.   Many scratches and scars, but very accurate.   Sports a newer 3 x 9 Leupold with Pachmayr Decelerator.     Light trigger and heavy stock make it very accurate in the field, especially with a rest, with 140 grainers.   Got it in 1977 and we have made many trips around Texas together.

It's a toss-up between my Ruger M77 MkII in .25-06, or my Win. M70 in 30-06.  I could flip a coin between the two; the Winchester has a better fitting stock than the Ruger, though (rounded versus "blocky")

My favorite Rifle.....
« Reply #21 on: August 19, 2005, 06:43:09 AM »
Would have to be my Remington 700 ADL in a .270 caliber.  The basic dark walnut grain, and blued finish  with a 24 " barrel, gives it a classic look, topped with a Bushnell banner scope 3x9x40 . . And the best part, is how accurate it has been for me.   I cannot say that it's the best rifle ever made, nor is it the most expensive.....but I have yet to be disappointed.....and that secure feeling of confidence in your firearm, is a good one to have....

My first deer and favorite rifle was a Remington 700 ADL 30/06...circa 1964 I put a Weaver V 4.5 scope on it. The whole package cost less than 150$ new.(and you got a free case). We didn't shoot MOA groups then but I could really ring those gongs at 100-150yds.
I loaded my own 180gr ammo with a Lee handloader kit (12.95$)...remember those little plastic scoops.., :-D
 Inspite of all the lack of technology I put a few whitetails in the freezer back then...  :wink:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using those Lee Hand Loaders for reloading hunting rounds.  Not a person on this or any other forum would turn down the money if they were given a $1.00 for every critter killed with a round loaded in a Lee Hand Loader.  Lawdog

I just bought a set of those plastic scoops there great. I can run loads faster by using the cups first then the powder trickler to make each load exactly the same. Its the fastest way of doing it on the planet those little LEE cups rule. My favorite rifle is a '94 Remington 700 in 338win.mag  using over the counter winchester ammo she'll put two rounds thru the same hole @ 100yds.  thus '94 back when you got a good remington. I like having 4,000ft.lbs at the muzzle for an upclose and personal shot and at 200yds she still has the muzzle energy of a 30-06 incase you want to reach out and touch something too.  I like it for blackbear but its too messy on the little critters.  It sure is a one shot stopper.

I haven't bought a new high priced hunting rifle since.

Favorite hunting rifle.................. Nice weather it has to be (hands down)
  My savage 99 in .250. in the morning and my Sav 99 in .300 in the afternoon.  Lunch time i`m on my ATV and heading to the barn for lunch.
  Got to check the TV for news from the "outside" world.  Old guys know what i mean.
  The afternoon hunt is covered by my Sav .300. No better feeling than being able to hunt with two of the most revered rifles ever made, IMHO.
 If your a Savage man/women you know what i mean.  Life is good.
  Bad weather, me and my savage(s) look out the window.
