favorite hunting rifle

[steelheadSABO]

If you could only own one gun what would it be.yes this is just another thread to pass the time until hunting season.For me it would be my parker hale 270.post pics of yours if you like.mines my avitar now its wearing a leopold scope

[okanagan]

For me it would be something in a 30-06 , I am looking a sako with the laminated stock currently to replace my trusty globco conversion 30-06 that is older than I am ;o)

[LOC]

It would be a toss-up between my Savage 99 (.300 savage) or my Marlin 1895 (45/70).

The savage would likely win for sentimental value.

[spreerider]

my savage 99A .308 and it has alot of sentimental value.

[mainland hunter]

mine would be my 338 win mag. plenty of gun for everything in bc and fairly mild recoil. 30 06 will kill everything too but I'd still prefer the 338 for grizzly therefore if i could only use one gun for everything that would be it.

[BiG Boar]

My favorite rifle is my laminate grey wolf Sako 300 win mag w/ swarovski 3x10x42. It has no sentimental value. However it has gotten the job done on one bear, and it will do the job on hopefully a lot of meat this year. Remember, if its not a magnum, then your not a man. haha. Stir....stir.....stir......

[.340]

.300 win mag Browning stainless stalker

[Stresd]

Gotta love my old 740 & 742 Remington Semi's. Both have filled an awful lot of Tags through the years.

[1899]

For sentimental reasons I need two - my father gave me a Voere Titan II in 7mm RM and I inherited his Steyr-Mannlicher Luxus in 7mm RM. We spent many days in amazing country with those two rifles.

[MichelD]

My 1953 Husquvarna 270.

Same age as me but in better shape.

Marlin 45/70 loaded with specials topped with a Elite 3200 1.5 x 4.5 can do anything this province can throw at it. But my Sako .338 and Remington Mountain .280 are'nt to bad neither. But the Marlin does fit nice in the scabbord!

[The Dawg]

Browning 7mm Rem Mag Stainless Stalker A-Bolt topped with a Bushnell 3200 3x9x40

[bcriverhunter]

that's easy...marlin 45-70, 1.5*5 leupold, stoked with homespun 550 grain JB crater hard cast at 1530 fps!...has its limitiations in range, but sure gets the job done and is fun!:smile:...BRH.

That is one nice Rifle

[hunter1947]

I love the gun I have had for 39 years ,its part of me.

I bought it from Roberson sporting goods in Vic back then.

this gun was a cougar vore 30-06 at one time , then had Gill Carmikle put a 28 inch douglas supreme barrel on and do some work on the mussel action bolt to except the 7mm bullet.

This is the one and only gun that I love and would never think of others in my life timehttp://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif .

[riflebuilder]

My new 340 wby it has yet to miss when shot at game or my 6.5x55 featherweight 5.2 lbs. Sheep or bears that is the question.

[todbartell]

favorite would be my custom Gaillard barrel 260 Remington. It's a 700 Remington in a McMillan mountain rifle stock, with a Leupold fixed 6x42 on top.

Shoots retaarrded good when I do my part and it's nice to pack

[Chameleon]

300 Winchester Magnum for me as well

[wolverine]

I guess for all round I'd have to say my .338 Browning. It can be loaded to hunt anything in North America from Blacktails to Grizzly and it shoots really well as long as you don't get too hot with the loads. I feel bad leaving my faithful .270 out of the running but for all round I feel the .338 is better equipt for anything.

[cxvalleyman]

Mine is a 308 Win. lever action model 99 with a 3-9x40 scope on it. it down moose ,deer and elk

[358mag]

life to short to hunt with only one gun !!!!!

[The 'Hummer']

My favorite is my Schultz & Larsen in 308 Norma Mag. A close 2nd and one I must keep as it was my Dad's and given to me when he passed away is my 30-06 Husqvarna Feather Weight that has beautifully figured wood.

[fireman357]

My wife just bought me an old school tikka 300. win mag for fathers day I love it, you know when a riffle just fits, however I've been shootin a rem. 280. semi auto my gun of chose however unavailable nowadays new.

[Junorr500]

1950 Model 70 .270 with 2x7 redfeild scope.

[Wood butcher]

I do like my Browning 7mm mag in stainless. It's never let me down. I think I'd like to trade guns with ruttingbuck if his was left-handed. thats a beaut.

[257WBYMAG]

My Winchester model 70-300WBY MAG but I am starting to really like my 257 WBY MAG.

[FlyingHigh]

well. i if i could only keep one of my guns, it would be my Remington 700 SPS DM in 7mm Rem Mag. it was my grad gift from my parents. it will also drop any game in north america. i love it.

[skagit57]

My Savage 114 American Classic in 7mm Rem Mag topped with a Leupold VXII 3x9x40.

[compton]

My stainless 300 WSM in a model 70 makes me look better than i am.

[abbyfireguy]

I have been using a 300 weatherby mag for almost 20 years now...Hand load 180 grain balistic tips and it shoots very small groups...I bought my son a Remington Mohawk in 308 win cal two years ago when he was 14...That thing is a tack driver and only 6.5 lbs...I may steal it when I go hunting and he has to stay in school the odd time this fall..:-P
Both guns have taken moose cleanly.
