I use a marlin 1894 in 44mag with a lepuold V11 1-4 It works great for the timber!

Just ordered a Remington 750 Woodsmaster carbine in .35 Whelen. It should be about right with a Williams peep.

[303carbine]

bush gun

Lately I have been packing my Remington 700 30-06 carbine with the 20 inch barrel as my bush gun. The 220 grain RN let you know it's a short gun. It has a 3x9 on it now but I may put a Leupold 4x on it.

Those two rifles will put the meat on the table year after year with no fuss.

 

[Huntsman]

Bush gun

Either my '94 30/30 or '94 .357 Compact

 

[Turbo]

Just a plain old P-14 in 303 brit. you might laugh but it works fine for me.

 

[Red foreman]

94 in 30 30 or my 99 in .300 savage.the 94 is lighter but the 99 is a much better rifle in every way except weight and I'm afraid to damage it,it's such a pretty gun.All original except for some tasteful sling mounts.

Would work fine for me also.

 

[xcr800]

Ruger mini30 with 3200 2x7 has been a good little rig for me but if moose are on the menu the old Browning blr in 308 with a 3200 2x7 is the 'go to' rifle.

 

[Bowie]

CZ 527 in 7.62x39, topped with a compact 2.5X leupold in Warne rings.
