Wolf/Antelope Rifle ... Success pics, post 126

[kimberman]

I have this weird need to play with all the 308 based rounds out there.

.260 rem AI is a .308 based round that will get you near 6.5-06 performance You could check with mysticplayer about that one.

But then my wife would whine about me stealing her brass

6.5-06 would be wicked. Do it up

what if it is on a stevens?

 

[DEZ]

7mm Rem ultra Mag that ought to put enough starch in it for you sub. 30 cal and smoking

 

[kimberman]

I think a stevens or a savage would be just fine. You could even get a switch barrel rig going. Guys who have them say they shoot, but I would step "up" into the savage with accutrigger.

Tikka T3 in .25/06. Flat shooting hard hitting, plus you'll use it for deer too...

 

[insurrecto]

6.5 remington magnum...

too bad it never caught on.

I have a 7mm Rum. It definately smokes but I think it would be a bit too big or too fast for an antelope or wolf.

I wouldnt hesitate to knock down a long distance mulie with it though.

lazzeroni 6.53 scramjet.........100 gr. @ 3700+ fps

this!!

 

[Charlie38]

Vanguard in 257 WBY or a Tikka in 25/06

 

[Northman999]

I'd go with someting in 6.5.

6.5-06 or if you want more custom, 6.5x300WSM or 6.5x300 winmag or 6.5x300 weatherby, or even 6.5 ultramag (if you want to shoot 110 grains of powder at once!). All done before and you can do some searching on the internet for the differences.

I'm also really interested in wildcat 6.5's myself...

 

[a j cave]

280,all kinds of good 7mm pills

 

[220Swifty]

well, i love the 280, and i agree wholeheartedlty, but i have already killed a lope and a wolf with mine, and something is still to be desired

Vanguard in 257 WBY or a Tikka in 25/06

I agree. Float the barrel on the Vanguard and adjust the trigger. I shoot 100gr. TTSX in mine.
My 25-06 is no slouch either.

 

[Brutus]

Remington Model 7 in 243 or 6mm, with a 20 inch barrel.

 

[6.5x55mm]

264 win mag with a 130gr Barnes. Hold on hair pull the trigger

 

[beretta boy]

I have a Remington CDL in 25-06 and a 700 Mountain in 257 Roberts ... both wear
Leupold 2-7 VX-II's in QR mounts ... and both shoot into 1/2" @ 100 with handloads.

Either would do want you want ... I'd also consider a Model 7 in 260 Remington.
A little shorter & lighter !

Go for the ruger no1 stainless laminate in 7mm you wont be disappointed it is easily one of the best rifles I have ever had the fortune of using. Accurate as all hell, light yet super stable, smooth action and really well balanced. Seen this take numerous antelope I took my first deer with it from nearly 200 yards standing freehand. I cannot say enough about this rifle.
