burmjohn Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I'll start this off... I started with a 35 that I borrowed from my uncle. Then my other uncle loaned me his 30-06 Remington bushmaster. I've had that 30-06 for about 5 years, he called me yesterday, and we were talking, he told me to keep it Needless to say I'm happy, and appreciate it. Its a great gun, I treat it well. Its got mixed reviews, but more then likely its from those who abuse it. So far its been a solid gun, and its dead on. I have a Bushnell 4x-12x banner scope, which I am thinking about upgrading. Looking at the http://www.vortexoptics.com/category/products since a member in the forums mentioned them. (Made In the USA, and affordable!)

adkman Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I use a Winchester 94 in 30-30. It's light and great in the heavy cover I hunt. Ammo is cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I have 3 rifles, but only shoot 1 regularly. I have an old Marlin 30-30 lever action and a Ruger Mini 14 that both just sit around most of the time. Then I have my Remington 700 SPS in 223. I love this gun, and with it being a 223, its affordable to shoot. I have only shot it out to 200 yards so far, because thats the longest shot I have available at the range I go to. Shes dead on at 200 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setters4life Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I have a number of rifles, but this has been my "go to" rifle for the last twenty years. Not exactly laser-like trajectory, but for under 150 yards it's more than adequate. With handloaded 265 gr. FP's, it's accurate and efficient.

Clamp Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The weapon I used depends on the hunt that i am going on. For long range deer, I use my savage model 10 in .308 for drives, I use my mini-30 for southern tier I use my 20 g 870 express with a rifled barrel shooting saboted slugs I always carry my model 19 in .357 *especially when duck and deer seasons are open at the same time! for wood chucks I shoot a vintage winchester in .218 Bee for ducks as geese, either an 870 mag, or my charles daly automatic (12 g) and on and on.

fasteddie Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I prefer the single shots . I have a 223 NEF Handi-rifle as well as a NEF in 25-06 . I also have a 12 ga NEF Turkey gun and a NEF 50 cal Huntsman inline . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adk3006 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Winchester Pre 64 Model 70 3006 with Leupold vari-x II 3x9. It's a bit heavy but very dependable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I know this isnt a rifle, but it shoots rifle rounds....my baby....TC Encore in 260 Rem...I dont need no stinking slug gun! Why do I use it? For a few reasons: 1 - Cheaper to shoot than my slug gun is (sabots @ $12+ for a box of 5) 2 - Can reach out further than my slug gun 3 - More of a challenge to shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 No pics, but my go to rifle for deer hunting is my Ruger Mk !! .308 with a Leupold 1.5x5 on it. Muzzleloading sees me with a NEF stainless Pardner in line. Occaissionaly if I am in a wandering mood I carry my pre-64 Win. 94, aperture sighted. I have a love affair with my Browing single shot 45-70, which also carries a Leupold 1.5x5. It is primarily my bear gun, as it is too dang long and heavy for traipsing around much with, but I am eager to take it out on a couple nice days for deer tree stand hunting when I have a chance.

maytom Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Picked up a Tikka lite in a .308 when they allowed rifles in Catt. county. Tack driver of a gun!! Blued with a black composite stock, and the bolt is butter smooth too!! Great deer/bear gun for the area. Also own a CZA 452 American in the .17HMR caliber. Another tack driver!!

Clamp Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I looked at the tikkas when i was shopping for a bolt gun. I ended up getting a savage with a wood stock and a scope adn a sling.. and that thing is one accurate setup (.308) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Savage was my other choice!!! Just liked the fit and feel of the Tikka a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamp Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thats a great point really.. I buy alot of guns.. and mostly i am a budget shopper, but when I shoulder a firearm, and it just fits right, it always ends up in my safe.. thats how i picked my skeet guns (CD 12g auto, and 20 g red label) and the savage, and a few others. The fit is the most important part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 My main go to gun is Winchester mod 70 in 30-06 I also shoot a 270win thats a weatherby.Some days i use a Remington 700 in 308.And I never go in the woods with a 357 or 44mag both Smiths.

deerinsight Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I have several rifles and some shot guns but my all time favourite and mostly use is a Browning .270 short mag. medallion. This is probable one the most accurate and sweetest gun I have ever shot. I have Burris 3x9x40 scope mounted on it all my guns and my kids guns have Burris scopes very reliable. I use a silver ballistic tip 130 gr. I have never, so far had anything run after I have shot. pic attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I nikon scopes on most of my rifles I put a leupold on my 06 last year I well start to switch all over to the gold ring sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setters4life Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I just started working up some handloads for this rifle. Hopefully I'll have something dialed in by end of summer that I'll be happy with. Not exactly a gun for "mooching" through the woods but it's proving itself to be accurate with the right combination of bullet and powder. It might be a good rifle for stand hunting.

Mr VJP Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I've trimmed my gun collection down to only 50 firearms over the last few years. But if asked, I'll tell you I have more than I need, but not as many as I want. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
