the ideal walking stalking hunting rifle

I would say the CZ527 carbine in 7.62 x 39. wood stock and I would put on it a 2-7 leopold or an aperture sight if all you shots will be relatively close.

Right in front of you is a keyboard, and there is an awesome internet search tool called google. It will even auto correct your poor spelling skills. Use it.

Advice, stay right where you are, just across the street for the chip wagon. The pay is not better in Alberta.

I think I might like a kimber but since we all cant be rich, the ruger mkii m77 seemed to be a good enough option. BUT if someone has a 264 sender kicking around and haven't much need for it, I got some trades that might land some interest

Deals come up on new Kimbers all the time, you don't need to be rich to own one. In fact, the 4 Kimbers I have all cost less than my Sendero in .264. Admittedly there were some good buys made there, and some luck. I do like my little Sendero SF11 .264 though. Its surprisingly portable, and is a deadly little shooter.
 
Er Shaw makes a nice rifle as well. I think they can be had for slightly cheaper then a new Kimber if you want a no frills gun. The 264 wm I priced out was $3500 however. But it would have been a sweet but heavy gun. 28" heavy stainless barrel in a laminated stock with engraving however I choose to go the opposite direction
Worth a look though
 
Someone has to say it...

Don;t care how you guys think but that heavy Shaw style rifle and levers are not coyote/deer walking rifles...

Tikka T3 Lite or Stainless Lite in .243.

1/2 MOA is not at all hard to achieve with handloads & will shoot 3/4 MOA with good factory ammo, 6 1/4 lbs bare, stellar trigger, action like it's on ball bearings.

Glass, be hard pressed to think of something more efficient than the Nikon Prostaff 5 2.5-10x40 w/ BDC reticle. Low enough for deer in the woods, high enough for long range coyote or varmint shots. BDC reticle and target type turrets. Under $400. Mount it on a DNZ Game Reaper, and you have a very nice rig.

If you really hate synthetic stocks, there's a stainless laminate model, even a blued wood model if you're into that. But for a pure practical working rifle I have to carry all day, stainless synthetic for me please.

I Agree 100%

Central Ontario is laughable compared to many other locations in Ontario and Canada... my theory is if the stock can't get through the bramble, then neither can I... the walnut guns that have taken the worse beating in our battery are our Sheridan C9 .20 Pneumatic air rifles... we bust brush pretty much the whole time we carry them, looking for rabbits... about every five or six years, I sand down the walnut and give it a coat of lacquer (Tru Oil now)... right back to new and off we go... that's the beauty of wood... all it takes is a little elbow grease to restore it... let me see your synthetic do that...

Uh huh... :agree:

That's why I like the oiled stocks: doesn't matter what kind of crap it takes, it always oils up pretty again.
 
Of the posters rifles, here's what I would take with me:

• Wooden stocked (for cold weather comfort) bolt action in 7mm-08/308
• CZ 550 FS carbine in 6.5x55
• Ruger compact in 7-08
• new production Winchester 1892 in 44-40
• Nice light short Steyr
• Win 70 308 with a 20" bbl and 6x leupold

My ideal rifle that would meet your requirements would me a non magnum caliber in the 6-7mm range, nicely figured (oiled) wood stock, a barrel 21" or less, bolt action with at least a 3 round capacity. Rifle would be from one of the better makers, have an accuracy guarantee, come with an adjustable sling and be topped with a low mounted 3-9x40mm riflescope from one of the better makers. The riflescope should also have quality scope covers to keep the moisture and dirt/needles off the optics and should fit well as well as be very easy to use... It should also look good resting against some animal fur:

 
Your not the odd man out, Royzo. I bought my 7600, in .270 Win, in 1989. Sure, I bought a few more rifles over the years, but he .270 kept coming out of the safe, as the handling and accuracy is excellent.

At the risk of being the odd man out, I would use 760/7600s. I keep two of each caliber. The pretty ones I use very little. I have more pride in the rougher ones that actually do the real hunting. They have wear and scratches that I believe gives them character. They never let me down.

What is the fair market value on a 264 sendro these days ?
