So Whats Everyone Lugging for Rifles This Season?

[The Kurgan]

Custom Husqvarna Mauser sporter in 7x57. She's light and real purdy. Looking forward to this season!

 

[Dogleg]

So far, a Weatherby Mark V rebarrelled to .300 Win, a Remington Custom shop .375 H&H and a Winchester M70 in .458 Win mag.
Fall will likely have a Savage muzzleloader, the mentioned rebarrelled Weatherby in 300 Win, Kimber .338 Win, Steyr Mannlicher 25-06, and Bat actioned Carlock Canyon rifle in .338 Edge. The only unifying theme is I use whatever I want, while trying out a few new rifles. Somewhere along the line my old Gaillard M70 in 7 STW will tackle me and come along.

 

[carbonrod]

Same rifle I've been running at the service rifle comps -- 308 20 inch remington 700.

If it snows lots, or is foggy, I will switch to an iron sighted M14.

Never know in the Mountains.

 

[Pickles]

No idea what I'll be using for deer this year. Some 257 something or other.

Now that I'm back in Saskatchewan I plan to shoot a coyote with every rifle I own.

Is a 416 Rem Mag too much for a coyote?

Assuming I can find the time to get a load together, I'll be carrying a Husky 46 in 9.3x57 wearing a K2.5 for moose and deer...maybe even put a reduced load together for grouse and rabbits

338 WM for all big game this year. Bear opens on Monday.

s. ont...savage muzzleloader 300gr barnes origninal and a nice load of 4198 smokeless.....if i make it to BC ill tote my new ABolt medallion in .280 that is if i can find ammo to feed it in this country ontario to be exact.

 

[slicknick]

Savage 111 in .270 Winchester topped with a Leupold VX-I 3-9x40. It shoots 130gr Federal Power-Shok into an inch at 100, so it's the #1 choice.
Might use the M305 or CZ 858 with irons if it's one of those days where it's almost too nice a day to stop walking the woods and dress out an animal.

 

[selig]

Ruger RSI International, in 243 win. T/C Encore 50 cal. mz.

 

[thumper1]

Weatherby Sporter in 257wby and a Marlin XLR 1895 45/70

 

[Bassmaster]

For Mr. Whitetail, I'll be tryin' out the Win 88 in .308 that I acquired in the spring....with Redfield optics and 165 gr Sierra GK's......

 

[blaser.306]

.300 Weatherby for anything that I buy tags for . I have yet to track a wounded animal after a close encounter with a 180 gr. interbond @ 3200 fps !

 

[SuperCub]

I had a M700 faux TI built this year in 358Winchester. Just getting some 250Speers going in it now.

[homer76]

Savage 11 (.308, non-accutrigger centerfeed dbm) with a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x.

I have a Marlin 336C .30-30 that serves as the camp spare rifle.

 

[AlexF]

My Remington 700 CDL SF 270WSM with a Leupold 2-7x32mm.
Very light, accurate and flat shooting.

For deer:
110gr Barnes TSX at 3500fps

For moose:
165gr Matrix Ballistics Hunting VLD at 2900fps

[Woodbeef]

Planing on going back to the Pontiac to hunt with an Old Friend for moose and bear. Was thinking of taking a Tikka Hunter in 9.3x62 or 300WSM,but a Marlin M375S I just picked up might make the trip instead.

 

[albayo]

I am using my Remington 700 BDL in 7-08, Ruger AB Model No1 7 X 57, Sako A1 223, and Remington 870 Express in 20 gage.
