[leemar28]

375....... It wears a Swarovski Z-3 ,3x10 x42 with the BRH reticle

 

[leemar28]

Its been a good rifle

 

[leemar28]

Back when it still wore a Boat paddle

 

[contender]

Moose,,, mmmm,,,,, good eating!

BTW; "boat paddle" stocks are desirable to many.

 

[leemar28]

I sold that boat paddle when I got the MPI.

Tikka T3 in 300WM. Like me it's not much to look at, but it does the work.

Mine is the Savage M99 in .250-3000 with a Weaver 3X scope that my Dad had installed on it generations ago. My husband's is the Marlin 1895 in .45-70 with a Leupold whichever model with the European style plex and 1.5 - 4X magnification.

A lot of go to rifles show beauty by honest wear and memories

I have several "Go to Hunting Rifles". All are
my favorite.

Currently using a Rifle that is seldom talked about or
very little is known about; it's my straight from the
factory unmodified 2012 Remington Model 7, bolt
action 308Win, Black finished, Blk synthetic stock,
with a Leupold VXIII 2.5-8x36mm scope.

It's easy to use, safe, lightweight, easy to handle,
easy to shoulder, point, and shoot.
You're not going to wear yourself out roaming
around with this Rifle.

Model 7 epitomizes the "handy rifle". Buddy has a pretty one in 260, I admit to having lustful thoughts towards that rifle.

Tikka T3X , have them in .243, 6.5 creedmoor, .270, .308 and 30-06, only the last three have taken Deer. My 1974 Ruger 77 30-06 has also accounted for numerous deer.

This thread reminds me that I really need to lose some of my disused rifles which were acquired for northern hunts. If I get to hunt Florida this season I'll use a handgun as I always have.

 

[DGW1949]

For me, it's a toss-up between the '94 Winchester 30-30 that I bought at a gun show several years ago for $265, and the old Interarms '92 Rossi .45LC Carbine that I used to shoot CAS with. Both are dern good guns and almost interchangeable for hunting purposes. Least-ways for the type of hunting that I do, which I must admit, is not all that much these days.
