Always up to no good.......

Ahh those uncanny Europeans....
Putting short barrels on  rifles with big cartridges to shoot big hairy pigs ahead of hounds !
Isn't there a term.. BATTUE that applies to them...??..
You just can't trust those swarthy Germanic and Slavic types........

Tikka makes a "battue" it's ugly with big tall iron sights some kind of a sight rail coming off the receiver, but it does have a short barrel.

Sauer 303 is close, short 20" barrel standard, maybe 7 or 8 chamberings . Friend has a 300Win Mag and its a sweet rig. Also handled a 9.3x62 at a factory demo/range session.

Folks won't like the price tag on here.

May need to be a pimp and have you ho's pay for one.

 

Strait pull bolt rifle/ bolt action shotgun....but anything will do, lots to choose from. 

I can't find anything that lists the weight of the  Sauer 303 

Looks like they  don't  even offer a synthetic stock .

The woods looks real nice on those tho 

Correction I found it they way 7.6 ib

I hunted with my Remington 600 Bolt action for quite a few years. It hasn't been out of the gun safe since I got my BAR. If I ever hunt somewhere where a 200 plus yard shot will come into play I will probably take the Remington back out again. The Remington is more accurate. Where I have been hunting the last 10 years...I haven't had a shot farther than 75 yds.

I have a simi and a bilt action and even a pimp action shotgun.

 

Wait a minute, what's a simi?

Lever

[Freytown]

A bolt action for me....very strong and dependable. BTW, what do our military snipers use???

[Pygmy]

They've made special guns for pimps for years.

They call it the Weatherby MK V.........

In 7mm right

I've used pump, semi-auto, lever, and bolt to hunt deer with.  a short throw bolt gun can be fast too.  recoil levels the playing field a bit when it comes to speedy follow ups.

[Curmudgeon]

I'm with Fast Eddie. Who needs more than a single shot?

[Moho81]

I've always used a Semi 12ga shotgun. Just last year our area opened for rifle and I still used the 12ga all season. It's nothing special just a Remmy 1100 with a rifled barrel and a 1x red-dot scope on it but its incredibly comfortable and i'm completely confident in its abilities that I don't feel the need to switch to anything else.

I literally laughed out loud and envisioned Biz with a flat brim hat on sideways.

I like my bolt, only need 1 shot.

[Daveboone]

oh, boy.

For the sheer joy of carrying and shooting, I love my levers: Winchester 94s, and savage 99.

For accuracy and dependability, just plain business gun: bolt.

For class, looks, simplicity, my Browning falling block.

If I could have only one, my Mauser 98 bolt, but I wont be happy.

Rifle, bolt all the way. Shotgun, flat out tie between semi-auto and pump. Been toying with the idea of a single barrel shotgun for deer, or maybe even a bolt.

I've never personally shot one but i do like the savage bolt shotguns. Heard they're real tack drivers.

If I didn't own one (20ga) I wouldn't believe it, true cloverleaf holes. Easy to shoot too.

I think Inspector Clouseau is lurking around this thread somewhere....

[Buckmaster7600]

I can honestly say I don't have a favorite, they all do somethings better than others. My least favorite would be levers for sure. I think a bout we come in 2nd to last, to me they don't do anything better than the others. I like single because they are short light and accurate. I like semis and pumps because they are handy to carry provide very fast follow ups and can be just as accurate as the others.

Love my lever gun. I would say bolt is close second for me. I love the quick follow up shots with a lever action. I'm like Lucas McCain!

Gas operated autos for shotgun..I shot  Rem1100s for many years....However I have not used a shotgun for deer since rifles became legal in my county, and last year I sold my rifled slug bbl to a member on this forum.  No way I would ever use it again, unless required by law.

I have always favored bolt actions for rifles.   The two that I use the most for deer are a Rem M700 Mountain Rifle in 7MM08 and a Win  M70  Lightweight in .280 Rem...

It WOULD be cool to have a quality single shot like a Ruger #1  or one of the quality 1885 Winchester repros, but that will probably never happen. 

I'm a single shot addict. I have taken deer with an 1885 Low Wall and a Ruger #1. This year I will be bringing up my Dakota 10 that is chambered in "The Bob". I'm looking forward to getting it bloodied... hopefully. I'll also be bringing a project gun that has been a work in progress for awhile. It's a Ruger M77 compact (16.6 " BBL) in .308.
