So what do you all consider your favorite utility rifle?

[NAA]

Rem 788 carbine in 7mm-08 with Ramline synthetic stock. Hard to beat.

 

[jiminthecorner]

springfield M 6 ,22/410. Its all thats required. JITC

 

[manbearpig]

Ruger ranch Stainless with a butler creek stock. if i don't plan on shooting anything and its just insurance or opportunity i don't want to coddle it. besides beating around in the truck cant possibly make it any less accurate than it already is heh heh.

x2. stainless in and out so it wont rust, no maintenance, no cleaning needed, and 5" at 100 yards is good enough for most things (like when you drive up to your cottage and find the place overrun by #%$^ing beavers...grrr).

 

[Violator22]

Savage 99 T in 303 Sav, I'll use it anywhere, anytime, for anything.

 

[troutseeker]

Savage model 24 in 30/30 over 20 gauge.

 

[UCSPanther]

I use an Savage 99 in 30-30 or my IGA .410 short-barreled backpacker shotgun, and my VZ 858 will also work in a pinch.

 

[sbtennex]

Weatherby .243 Win with 58 gr Varminators, winter and summer, Tikka M658 7mm Mag hunting season. When they make the Tikka Boar gun in .338 Federal, that'll be it.

 

[KO]

Used to take my Rem LTR .308, but just picked up my Marlin guide gun .45/70 today that will be my go to bush gun.
KO

 

[Epps Enfield]

Rem 788 in .308 - pop in the mag and you are in business for just about anything.

 

[Winchester-1897]

No.4 mk1 sporter Savage.

[tyger75]

Right now, it's my Lee Enfield .303 British; good round and a good rifle, with iron sights, a 4 round mag, and fast bolt action.

Future; trying to find a good lever action Marlin 30-30, preferably with the hammer safety. That'll be my back o' the truck fave then.

 

[Norm99]

This is my "new to me" utility gun, going to see some range time real soon, 99E in .243.

 

[Boomer]

After the .30/06 poll I don't dare suggest the '06, so I'll go with my custom .375 Ultra carbine.

 

[slicknick]

Probably my 10/22

 

[teenahlake]

LE #5 jungle carbine

 

[the_big_mike]

Mav88..

yes its cheap. Thats the point.

 

[Woodsman]

After the .30/06 poll I don't dare suggest the '06, so I'll go with my custom .375 Ultra carbine.

I'll support you! Don't be bashfull now!

 

[graham1]

Marlin 336 in 30-30. Compact, dead on out to 100yards, and would stop anything I'm likely to want stopped.

 

[arch1965]

Utility

Mr Remington 788 in .223

 

[kimberman]

I've got a fully sporterized crown grade husquavarna m96 in 6.5 swede, custom wood stock, machined barrel to remove the steps, timney trigger, topped with a Burris 4-14x42. I took my first deer and my last coyote with it

It's in my truck right now!
