Your hunting rifle?

[Marlin xl7]

I'm just curious as to what you guys use for your hunting rifle, or rifles. I use a marlin xl-7 in 270 win, with an older redfield tracker 3-9x40, and sometimes a ruger M77 in 257 roberts.

Savage 11FL in 243Win
LH Sako AV in 25'06

Ruger #1 RSI in 7x57
LH Tikka T3 in 7mm-08

[elkhunter11]

After hunting with many guns over the years,I now hunt only with a Cooper Jackson Hunter in 280AI,with a Kahles 3-9x42 scope.I do have two such rifles though.

[patcha]

weatherby vanguard in 257 mag or 3006.both with bushnell 3200 scopes.

[Tracker34]

I use my Rem.700 buckmaster edition, 300 Win Mag mostly. Depending on where I\m going I may take my Winchester 94, 32 sp or BLR 308. This year I'll take my Mosin Nagant out for a try on deer.

[BROWNING737]

I use a Browning stainless x-bolt 325wsm with a Kahles 4-12x50 scope . Love it.

[pinksen]

I use:

Howa 1500 in .308win
Rem 700 sps dm in 7-08rem
Stevens 200 in .243win
Traditions 209 Tracker .50cal Muzzle loader

And by this weekend I'll also have a Stevens 200 in 7mm Mag. to put on the list!!!

Big game Ruger 2506, Rem. 708, Rem 3006, want to try my new Marlin 444 out this year. I bought a Rem. 338 a while back and havn't even shot it yet. Don't even got ammo for it.

[firegod74]

I'm currently trying to train myself to use a 300wsm. But all the animals I have ever shot, besides 1 last fall, were with a 303 British peep sight. I think thats my biggest problem with the 300. Trying to get used to using a scope.

[220swifty]

For me, it is usually a tougher decision than "Shooter or not?"

It usually ends up being 2 rifles in the truck, and a last minute decision when i am doing final prep at my truck in the morning.

That being said, if I am not in a mood to **** around, just get out and shoot something, I usually reach for my Ruger 77 stainless in 280.

Sako A7 SS 300WSM
Browning A-bolt Medallion 300 Win Mag (rubbed oil stock)
Ruger Mark II M77 SS 270 Win

[jaybull]

Tikka t3 lite, 30.06, leupold 4.5x14-50, M1 turrets, Duplex reticle. For me i'm using one gun for everything, with the theory of, mastering one gun and one load for deer,elk,moose out to 500yards. The 30.06 spitting 180g bullets in my opinion fits the bill nicely. Lots of bullets and factory ammo, light recoil in my opinion, cheap to reload. I don't need another gun. But i would like more.lol.

[sheepguide]

I use a Browning X-Bolt in .270WSM with a 3-16 Pentax w/ ballistic plex rectical.
My wife shoots a Remington model 7 in 7mm-08 with a elite 3200 scope with firefly rectical.

I have a few more rifles but they tend to stay in the gun safe.

Will be adding a custom built mountain rifle that I hope to have done by possibly this winter.

[New Hunter Okotoks]

I just bought a Sako 85 in 300 WSM 2 weeks ago.I put a Leupold 4.5-14x40 with B&C reticle on top.I still have to dial it in.

[PoppaW]

I keep switching it up. One of 3 Weatherby's usually will be on my shoulder. I want to try my 94, 7-30 Waters this year on deer, with my boys watching as it's really theirs. Just to show them it works. My wife is a one gun gal and shoots a Weatherby also. Hers is 7mmWby. But I have used a lot over the years. When I tire of the bigbore thing I might get just a couple guns and settle down.

[fumder]

normally it has been my 7x57 CZ with set trigger. why? cuz it has a SET TRIGGER! and it's plenty firepower to take down most game..

new baby is my 7rem mag 700 sendero. haven't taken game yet, but will soon.

coyotes, 243 win weatherby vanguard. fun, light gun to shoot.

[leo]

Sako 300wsm
Tikka 338wm
Kimber 270wsm
And whatever I drag home for a new one this year, maybe a 7mm mag or 280ai in a Sako or Cooper ?

[m88.358wn]

Browning stainless a-bolt 325wsm in bad weather conditions and my favorite is my winchester model 88 lever .358.

[crawfy]

I like to use my 30-378 Weatherby accumark, my 257 Weatherby accumark and even bring out the Marlin 1895G 45/70 a few times a year.

[Statick]

Average-sized big game: Ruger M77 Hawkeye (.270 Winchester) w/ Harris bipod and Leupold VXII (3x9x40)

Small game: CZ 452 (.22LR) - iron sights

I've a few other rifles I've bought in the off-season, let's see how they fare...

[378 Wthrby]

My go to gun was my 7400-270, but since then its 378 mk V or my 340 mark V, and my trusty winchester 2200 for birds.

[sinawalli]

Will be my new Ruger M77 in 7X57, with Leupold Mark 4 in 3.5X10X40, and my Marlin 1895 in 45-70.

[justhunt]

I use a Rifles Inc. custom lightweight Rem 700 in 300win mag. I have others but I always seem to grab this one.

[decker]

Browning A-bolt 270wsm with a VX3 4.5 x 14 x 40 Leupold is still a virgin but this will be my main rifle

[noneck180]
