Do I Need Another Hunting Rifle? Advice Please.

Kelly Timoffee said:
You need more, without a doubt, but what you need is something classy.

Has to be metric for sure, like a 6.5mm or 7mm but nothing common, like 6.5 x 55AI or 7 x 57 , something that makes you sound sophisticated. ;)

Any less would be uncivilized.

I have a 6.5 creedmoor in target rifle.

If there isn't a hungry mouth to feed u should.buy another . It's simalar to investing in gold. Just building assets for a later date for when times get tough. Can't really depend on the retirement system these days

You didn't read properly. I said that I have MORE than 12. I didn't want to give exact numbers.

One more or 100 more, you still don't have a sporter weight varmint rifle, you don't have anything that would pass as even a medium rifle, your shotgun only has one barrel, and what would you do if someone asks to see your elephant-gun? Oh sure you can fake a chokeing fit and rush out of the room, but that only works once.;) No use risking it.

I have more than 12 firearms and only 4 of them are for hunting. I am trying to decide if I need another hunting rifle or am I good with what I have. I hunt grouse, waterfowl, deer, moose and I've been thinking about getting into hunting Elk. I have also been considering doing the coyote/wolf hunting thing in the off-season months.

Grouse & Waterfowl - 12 ga Remington 870 Express
Deer - .270 Win Remington 700 & .308 Win Tikka T3 Lite
Moose - .30-06 Sprg Remington 700

I was thinking about a 7mm Rem Mag, but I don't really seen the point since I have a .270 and a .308. Maybe a .22-250 for shooting coyotes if I get into that. But then I was thinking I could just use my .223 rem target rifle for that.

Any opinions?

sounds like a sport for you, not a hide collecting thing, go 6mm or 243 for Yotes! Yes, you do need a 223 and a 22-250 for other things, don't stop at a dozen guns or so, that's not what it's all about! Go BIG or go home! Fill many many safes!
 
Careful where you step, there is a lot of b.s. around Bitumen's threads. ;)

Besides, he needs a 7-08 anyways.

12 is a ok start...

The question is how many of the other firearms could be used for hunting because allot of them might be able to do it....
 
Dorian Grays steps to fix this problem:

1. Go get an egg sandwich.
2. Get an extra one.
3. Add bacon.
4. Add more bacon.
5. Add ketchup.
6. Eat these sandwiches while pondering.
7. Buy gun.
8. Go for a nap.

And that is how life should be my friend.
