[whitetail Junkie]

I own 4 Big game weatherby rifles.....yet have almost hunted with the cooper rifle exclusively the last 4 years......hmmmmm

[Brad Donovan]

Mine is my Savage 11/111 .30-06. I got it for 380$ on sale at Cabelas in Edmonton in 2008. Shot a 1/2" group last time I had it out. I love it.

I'm with jag here, my model 88 is chambered in .308 Win. Was bought new in 1958 by my grandfather.

Of all the rifles, I would say my 25/06 for deer, or my ruger ultra light in 308 is close, moose it is my Sako 375 H&H

Same here I bought a 111 in 270 win 10 years ago. I finally upgraded the Simmons scope. It's been an awesome gun.

My 700 SPS Tactical in 223. Rem. Perfectly suited for what I bought her for. Got a Bushnell Elite Tactical 5-15X40 up top. Gopher slaughter...My 17hmr and 22lr get the job done, but my 223 is like mowing the lawn with a Stratocaster.

[t.tinsmith]

I use BLR takedown these days,.270 win.My sheep rifle.and saddle rifle.

[Tyler2010]

I love my Weatherby Mark XXII .17hmr, I'll be keeping it for life. However, part of me wishes I would have bought it chambered in .22lr

I'd have to pick my old 7 Mag, 700 ADL FS from '87. These came from Remington with a Brown Precision stock. The throat is fried and the stock is scratched up but I like it. It's still darn accurate. I'm tempted some times to rebarrel it as I have some 7mm Benchmark blanks but I doubt it would shoot much better. I have a custom 280AI that's a pound lighter but I like this old girl.

[Pathfinder76]

My custom LH Model 70 280 Rem. It needs a new paint job. :-)

[Canuck Bob]

For decades it was my 444 Marlin, best hunting rifle I can imagine.

Gifted it to a young man who will respect it and use it as intended. I no longer hunt and that fine rifle should be hunted with.

Now I'm working toward a new favorite. Seems the Win 92 in 32-20 or 9422 are leading the pack.

[elkhunter11]

Custom 7mmstw, Stiller Predator action, extended magazine box, Timney trigger, PTG bottom metal, fluted #5 barrel, pillar bedded into a McMillan MCSwirly stock.

[sns2]

What a diverse thread, with a boat load of nice guns.

Chuck, I don't know if you're a webbing guy, but a nice black webbing on your M70 would be a real easy spruce up.

[Pathfinder76]

I'm not a webbing fan, but like spatter.

[Rio56]

Chuck ..who makes that stock ?

McMillan makes them for D'Arcy Echols. It is his pattern.

It may not be a tikka or 30+ year old beauty, but the rifle that feels best in my hand (natural and fluid) and shoots a dream for me is my 1st gen Ruger scout in .308. (It just edges out the savage 99 in .308)

[silver lab]

Well..... Iam hoping its a SC Winchester M 70 EW. If Canada post ever finds it.

[Ray Ray]

Ruger M77 in 7mm. Just like home.

[bobinthesky]

Your go to rifle becomes that because you can shoot it well. To have that confidence gives you a huge mental advantage over using a rifle that you don't shoot as well or are not very familiar with.

I've had several go to rifles over the years but my current is a MkV in 270 Wby, it just straight out hits whatever I point it at!

Was the rifle ever found?

[Flight01]

Mine is my first rifle. Remington model 673 Mohawk in 308. Handles great and shoots great. I have awkwardly high see through scope rings on it and a simple bushnell 3-9x40 elite 3200. Took my first buck with it at 255 paces and this year I took a doe at 275. Not bad for a guide /brush gun.
Just feel good when I have that rifle on me.

[Remtac]

No sure yet , but the one with the accuracy international chassis sure works good 3/8 to 1/2 Moa .

[Huntsman]

Mine is my Dad's Win 88/308

[SportHuntingHelp]

My Ruger 30-06. I have a new Tikka 30-06 that I maybe put 10 rounds through but still go back to the Ruger as its my feel good rifle. Might have to sell or trade the Tikka

I posted this one earlier in this thread but lost the pics in a photobucket cleanup.

This is a funny one. Mine has to be my daisy winchester .177 pellet rifle. Break barrel one shot at a time. Got it when i was 10 and its what got me into shooting and hunting. Possibly 10000plus rounds through it and many squirrles and rabbit taken. Obviously its not quite a real hunting rifle but every time i open the safe it takes me back.
