[JamesM]

After all the nay sayers here I think this may be the year my .223 goes out as my primary deer rifle.

 

[stang]

Ruger compact in 7-08. Light and handy.

 

[lister]

TC Scout in .50 cal for muzzleloader season, and Rem. 7600 in 30.06 for rifle. Rem. Wingmaster for birds and other critters.

 

[kman300]

.50 for muzzle loader, supernova for birds, 300 rum sendero with 208 amax for high power.

Browning Abolt 300 WSM LH or Winchester 70 270 WSM LH or Remington 700 243 LH or TC Omega or Winchester 94 in 30-30 maybe even the old 303. . Damn tough decisions...I think it will be a different gun everyday

 

[Dench]

Rem 700 .243 in the fields around home. Rem 700 7mm mag when I go up the mountains I want to shoot my first moose this year.

 

[RickP]

Browning Bar in 300wm for moose and deer - its all I have. (well I have a Savage 24V in 3030/20 but they won't let me use it - unless I sneak it out of camp, will they be watching?).
Although it was not asked, my Benelli Supernova for birds and bunnies.

 

[Eagleye]

My choice this year was easy - My new, Leeper built M700 in 308 Norma Mag.
Already has been bloodied, a 2½ year old Bull Moose.
Doesn't get better than that!
Eagleye.

 

[fiddler]

Mosin 91/30, 1942 version with iron sights.

Anyone can shoot a high power rifle with a huge scope. Been there, done that. No longer rewarding.

Man the bolt on that thing is so long. I bet between the wobble, the noise it makes, the cycle rate, and the extra weight you'd want a 308 by now. It's not like .270 is better. At least go magnum if you're going to punish yourself with that kind of action.

Shouldn't you be at WalMart shopping for school supplies with your mom?

Cycle rate? ..... It's not a machine gun.
Extra weight?
Punish yourself?
