I love all hunting firearms, therefore I have no favorite make or model; however, my favorite cartridge is the good ole 30-06 and Nosler Accubonds.

The one is shoot Right now I'm using a Browning 7mm RM ABolt Medallion, I love the natural, old feel of the gun and I've taken about every Alberta and Sask species with it. I'm using 162 grain Interlocks and they've done really well for me.

[7mm-08]

My Browning X-Bolt CF in 7mm-08 it shoots everything I put threw it so far an inch or better. I will be using 140gr TSX for this years Moose hunt and maybe a Bear if one comes by.

I'm happy with my Savage 10fp in 308 win. It's taken plenty of deer and fed the family for years. I now have a .50 cal Hawken percussion that I intend to take into the field with me this fall, Time and God willing.

Good call on the 7mm-08. Love mine.

I like the 140 gr TSX, but my rifle prefers the 140 gr Federal Premium nosler partitions by 1/2" at 100 yrds. I suppose for hunting critters its a push, but the partitions do shoot better with my rig...what to do!

What a thought provoking question. My rifle I like the best is a Winchester M70 SuperGrade 300WSM I bought and had Corlanes bed, lap the action, and tune the trigger. It took a lot of different handloads to find a bullet it liked though - Barnes TTSX 168 grain.
I also love what the Marlin 1895 MXR 45-70 with 300 gr Barnes bullets does on a moose.
However if I had to choose the very best shooting rifle I would have to go with my wife's Rem 700 in .280. After having the trigger pull dropped from over 7 lbs from the factory it has been great. It doesn't matter what we use in it, it will outshoot all our other rifles.

I am a little surprise at the small amount of mentions a good ol' .22lr have gotten. My favorite rifle is the first one I bought - a Ruger 77/22 in .22lr topped off with a weaver 2.5 - 7 scope. It loves Remington Gameloads. As for a centerfire I would have to say my Marlin 1895SBL in 45/70. Haven't had time to work out the best load for it but it sure is fun. Although favorites do change weekly.

.280 sako all-time fav.....35 Whelan (Rem) has always been close but since i hunt a LOT....Ruger M77 Lightweight SS 30-06.....180's just so I meet all the regs.

[bigoldan43]

Don't see too many guys singing praises about Swift Scirocco bullets.
I've had real good luck with them in my 300 wm. Accuracy and on game performance.
Anybody else like them?
Since Russels in Calgary left, I've had a bit of problem finding them, but now I have and I'm planning on sticking with them.

[Walleyes]

My old Remington model 760 pump in .270 win, shooting Federal 140 grain soft point round nose bullets.. Put more moose on the ground with that combo than God entitled most men to have... Still the gun I insist my boys kill thier first moose with until I buy them there first big game rifle.

[BallCoeff.435]

High accuracy, instant-on:

Pick just one? sacriledge!!
My favorite, most important rifle/caliber, is the last one that I bought, that I absolutely had to have for hunting............ (And if anyone tells my wife anything different, I will hunt them down!)
My latest, favorite rifle, is the 358 Norma Mag I had built. should go good with the bull moose tag I drew this year.

Mark v Deluxe 300 Wby Mag,shooting Sierra 200gr

[Gilly]

I got a Model 70 featherweight in 280 rem topped with a burris 3-9 that gets the nod. this beauty punches one inch groups with 140 grain ballistic silvertips consistently.

[ram crazy]

I still like my 243Win. with 100gr. Speer Boattails. It a nice little gun that is a real tack driver.

[thebuckshow]

My Win Ranger 270 and whatever bullets Canadian Tire has the most of.
