If you could only have one rifle/scope...

Probably a Winchester Model 70 SS with a 22" #3 barrel. .375 h&h with a front blade sight and talley with the pop up peep and QR rings. Leupold 2.5-8 on top. Echols Stock.
If only NA, switch the cartridge out to 30-06.
 
One rifle / one scope?

Pre 64 Win 70 in .30-06 or .300 H&H Magnum topped with a matte blue Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x40mm in Talleys or Leupold dual dovetails. :cool:

NAA.

Haha! Can't see that ol' thing making you jealous. You've owned, what, 6+ different rifles of that very blueprint?;)

This one may be a little homely, but, I like her.:) Gonna have another one just like it soon, 'cept with a smaller hole in the barrel...

Looking forward to pics of your Mashburn.

I'm curious why so many folks are chosing mid-range optics for their rifles...

I'd think it's cuz the 2-12ish power range is about perfect for almost anything us fudds will be dealing with rangewise. I've shot straight 6X leupolds to 400 yards with no problems hitting 10-14" gongs. I'd imagine most people are thinking 10ish power is enough to have lots of fun past 400, yet still have the comfort of 3ish power when stuff gets close
 
Hhhmmm, I think I need to set my sights higher ... All I want is a smooth running lever action .270, with a 4-14x40 scope (a plain Bushnell would be plenty good enough).

My Sako TRG 30-06 that I sold a few years back. That was one good shooter........

You can't replace a Sako TRG-S with a 700,....there's NO comparison..I've owned both....that said,...the Sako TRG-S's I've owned are gone and I do have a few 700's here.....:rolleyes:

By mid-range I meant quality wise, not magnification.

There is not one thing homely about that rifle. That is a sharp piece. Perfection!
 
I think it is sacriledge to think of owning only one gun. A CZ550fs in .30-06 with a Zeiss 3-9x40 would handle just about anything I would hunt. Don't own this one, but I held one last weekend and lost sleep over it.
 
I guess if I could only keep one, it would be this:

-Pre 64 in .270 Winchester (1947 action)
-7 pounds 7 ounces as pictured above
-Legend edge stock, endura paint by Mitch Kendall.
-Action honed and massaged by Bill Leeper
-Post-64 type gas block installed to block the left raceway
-23" factory barrel turned down, bore and throat look new with Bill's standard recessed crown.
-Bolt stop built up and checkered
-Factory trigger a dead crisp 2 1/2 pounds
-Bottom metal is the early thin factory steel
-S&K rings and bases
-FXII 6X with LR reticle

If I could pick one I didn't own, it wouldn't be far off from this one.
