My old Ruger M77 in 6MM

My go-to and favorite is a Savage model 99 in .300 savage,
followed closely by my Hakim, and grandpa's remington 722 in .300 savage.

Ruger M77 syn/ss in 30-06.
2-7 Nikon scope.

Just got it last year. Love it.

I guess I am a little bit different. I have two Swedish Mauser 96/38's that had been sporterized before I found them. Bolts turned down, D & T'ed, etc. Both in the original 6.5x55 caliber. I personally don't think there is a better caliber for deer.

My Ruger M77 6.5x55 with a Timmeny trigger, recut crown, and a Leupold 3.5-10x Veri-x III scope (I'm thinking of switching to a 12x variable power).
Its a super versatile gun.

my favorite is 1909 argentine, "osa johnson" 275 rigby/7mm mauser special i built. 139's go in one hole. 7#'s and few ounces with scope and irons.

someday i have to build one for walter dalrymple maitland bell.

you think a pit bull with a soupbone is tough, try and get that rifle away from me.:mad:

fav rifle
 

remington custom ks mountain rifle in 35 whelen. light, very accurate.

My favorite is my 7mm mag. Remington model 700. This is an older one that was built in the early 70's. It's an ADL but has the checkered stock and the most beautiful burlwood grain on the cheekpiece and high gloss finish like the BDL's have now.

Right now it happens to be my .338 RUM! It is deffinately a one gun do it all. Shoots as flat as a 7mm Rem Mag and hit like a .375H&H who could ask for more!:D

1. Remington 700 Sendero in .25-06. w/custom made muzzle brake. a real tack driver using the 115 grain ballistic silvertip from Win

2. Mosin Nagant 91/30 (7.62 x 54R) w/PU scope.... very accurate

3. .45/70 Cimarron Arms, Billy Dixon Model 1874 Sharps Sporting Rifle 32"Octagon barrel...it can really reach out and touch 'em! (FYI..The Billy Dixon story....It was June 27, 1874 at Adobe Walls on the Canadian River in the Texas panhandle. Young Billy Dixon and 27 buffalo hunters were surrounded by more than 500 Kiowa and Comanche warriors. The Kiowa medicine man told the warriors that his medicine made them invisible to the bullets of the white-eyes. When Dixon fired his Sharps sporting rifle and knocked a Kiowa from his horse at 1538 yards (7/8 mile) the Indians departed with haste. The Kiowa medicine man was quirted to death. The shot was later measured by a Government surveyor working in the area. Billy Dixon lived on to be awarded the Medal of Honor while acting as a scout in the Army for Gen. Nelson Miles. Later in life he served as a peace officer in the Texas panhandle, near the place that made him famous.

(What makes the shot even more astonishing is the fact that, the shot was made with a borrowed rifle!)

tikka t3 stainless 243 with 4-12 scope for killing paper along way away.

customed ruger 10/22 for sheer fun and getting friends upset when we need to have a shooting competition.

My favorite......though not practical all the time, it is a custom job built on a Sako action in .375 H&H. I have a Douglas stainless barrel and British express sights on it with interchangable front sights. A McMillan synthetic stock and a Leupold 1.75 - 6 scope mounted with a set of Warne QD rounds it out. The whole barreled action was coated with a special nickel type coating which makes it pretty much impervious to the weather.

I have used this rifle as a back-up while guiding for about 2 1/2 decades now. It has been to Africa a few times and a lot of other places over years. Stopped a few pissed off grizzlies that my clients managed to stick in the wrong spot along the way as well.
I just like packing the old girl around.

Thanks to bullets like the 260 grain Nosler Accubond and the 250 Barnes X I can take her out ot play on moose and elk hunts once in a while if nothing big and nasty is in the offing.

Hey Billy D...........I didn't know you were a 7x57 fan. That is a hell of a good cartridge.
