The "Holy Grail" Debate

[phinton81]

Holy grail would be the BLR 81 308 I shot my first moose with back in 2005, I sold it like a fool and have been through a bunch of rifles ever since. That rifle shot beautifully and it was "lucky"

That looks pretty sweet. Give us some details.

Posted it on earlier, but didn't have my coffee this morning and forgot a picture, I'll repost the specs

Perfect hunting rifle didn't exist so I had a custom one made, even then I don't believe there is a "perfect" rifle for everything in general, I have a choose the perfect tool for the job mentality.

Started with a Mac Bros evo titanium action sa
Hardy carbon fiber barrel 30cal 1-10 24" fin "heavy" Palma
McMillan carbon game warden sondoran ambush camo
Trigger tech flat blade
Badger M5 enhanced dbm
Hawkins titanium muzzle brake
Finished in midnight bronze cerakote
Topped with night force ultralight rings and a vx5hd scope
Use hsm trophy gold 300wsm 185gr Berger vlds
Ai 3/7 round wsm mags
Spartan javelin bipod

Cooper Model 22 Custom Classic in .280AI topped with a Leupold VX5HD

Would be all over that!

That rifle looks awesome! Who did you have build it?

I would love to hear from some other dealers and gunsmiths. There is a wealth of knowledge in the Canadian gun industry. I bet you guys at other shops have seen some pretty ideal setups!

It was EM precision rifle they are local gunsmith, Steve and Shane put together some really nice stuff. Was the first batch of the macbros actions in Canada and for a titanium I couldn't be more pleased with it, waiting for some nicer weather to break her in.

From what's in my cabinet now:

Remington 700 SPS DM in 7mm Rem Mag with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40mm. Durable, reliable, versatile, affordable


If money was no object:

Merkel RX Helix Noblesse in .30-06 for all around capability and classicness. I'd mount a Zeiss Victory HT 2.5-10x50mm scope on it.

This is the direction I will eventually go. These are beautiful rifles and can be affordable in the entry level models. I'll need to win the lotto for this beauty
