Your Ideal BC hunting rifle. Made my choice page 8

[new210/22]

Hey guys it is time to add another pony in the stable. What would be your pick for a versatile, hunting rifle for B.C.

A few parameters. Budget at or below 1200 for rifle. Light is ideal. In a calibre that is easy to find reloading components for.


AAAAAAND GO!

Settled on a Remington model seven in 7mm08. Now, your ideal hunting cartridge. Aaaaand go.

Haha, you saved my post.
BC has the widest span of game, from grizzlies to rabbits. So anything below 30-06 is not an all around BC hunting rifle. 9.3x62 can be comfortably used in anywhere in BC.

C-fbmi will claim that his 340 Weatherby is the one.

so are you implying that the 9.3X62 is a good choice for bunnies

Well, I can bring my pocket shot with me, alongside with 9.3

Remington 700 Classic in 35 Whelen! 22" barrel, nice straight walnut stock and open sights. I have to admit though, if the Winchester extreme weather came in a 35 Whelen or a 9.3x62, I would be all over it.

The .338 WM is my favourite, but a 30-06 Mountain rifle sounds like what you're looking for.

 

[kamlooky]

Deeepend'ith...............short range, long range, up hill, down hill, x thuh valley?

An old Mauser 98 in some sort of 6X, 7X, 8X, or terdy awtt caliber?
Maybe a magnum ?

Got a Tikka CTR in 260 Rem for smaller games.


There is no one gun that will do grizzlies to rabbits. One day we will be able to set stun/kill level but not today.

Sure there is! If i have learned anything on this forum it this; "It's all about shot placement."

Thanks for all the ideas guys. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with TC rifles. Cheap knock around gun under 700 bucks that shoots (sub) MOA guaranteed, pretty tempting.
