Birds - Berretta AL391 12g

Dogs - H&R Ultra Varmint Fluted in .223

I'll be using my Kimber classic select grade in 338 Federal and my 375 ruger Savage Alaskan Bush Hunter.

This year, the #1 rifle will be my Merkel double in .450-400 Nitro Express. The #2 rifle (Rem 700 SSDM in 30-06) will see more use given the amount of plainsgame on license, but the Merkel will be going through the paces on the primary quarry: lion, lioness, buffalo, elephant, and a couple giraffe for good measure. It promises to be quite the hunt!

Just 71 more sleeps until boarding the plane ... not that I'm counting ...

So far has been a .270win kinda first half of the year, Now winters set in it seems the .300wsm is getting the grand tour.

happy happy happy

 

[blargon]

Sako 75 .338wm

 

[Scott_N]

I'll probably be using my T-3 S/S in 270 WSM again this year. It's scoped with a Leupold VXII 3X9X40 and I'm shooting handloads with 130 Barnes TSX Bullets. While in the mountains and more in grizz country, I usually carry my M70 in .338, topped with an old Burris 4X Fullfield.

 

[popcan]

I'm hoping my .270 M52 Cooper gets here in time to set up for hunting season - our Bull draw goes Oct 15 - 31.

If it doesn't make it in time, then the M54 .308 Cooper Excalibur rides again!

 

[ValleyGunNut]

Ill be using my m14 in an ICR cqb stock or my Remington 7400 30-06 for deer, bear and moose get the 338 RUM in a 700 xcr

 

[blauber]

.270 Win in good'ol fashioned M700 - whitetail
.243 Win in good'ol fashioned M700 - whitetail back-up/coyotes
22-250 Rem in good'ol fashioned M700 - coyotes

All stock and sub-MOA. Scoped with Leupold VX-III, Vortex HS and Burris FFII - think a .257 Weatherby might show up in the mix around Xmas.

 

[back40sniper]

XCR in 6.8SPC for everything, I just love watching Fudd's heads pressure up when they see it!!

 

[steveb67]

Deer...Rem 7600 in 30-06. My "yote" rifle is a Remy 700 SPS in 223. Or if Im hunting yotes or bear on my brothers farm, Im using my Savage 10 FCP-K in 308. Turkey is my Rem 870.

 

[hoytcanon]

Hoyt bow, Easton arrows... just like the past 40 years...

 

[Hashhockey69]

Norinco Type 56 SKS with a Bushnell 1x28 red dot mounted on a Choate mount for Moose and Deer.

Remington 870 wingmaster 12g for grouse/duck and geese.

 

[Joe549]

Big animals: Savage 111 .270 and Winchester 100 .308
Feathered and small stuff: Mossberg 500 12 gauge and .22LR & WMR.

 

[LawrenceN]

I have a highly customized No. 4 Lee Enfield that shoots nickel sized groups with my handloads, and the 150 gr. Hornday are more that adequate for the local deer. My back-up is my tried and true heavy barrel Ruger M77 in .308. I have that one shooting dime sized groups with 165 gr. Sierra Game Kings. If I'm pushing or walking, I carry a 20 ga. with sabot slugs, and that thing hits like a freight train.

 

[gerard]

Tikka T3 in 260 Rem or 270 win for whitetail. Ruger m77 in 300WM for Elk. For small game Benelli pump in 12 gauge.
He'll I might even shoot an animal with my Pro Hunter this year.

 

[East]

My New X-bolt composite stock .270win for whitetail & Blackbear. then the Savage Mod 11 Hog Hunter .223 for the coyotes.

 

[Lexthedestroyer]

Likely same as last year, my Savage 99 in .308 wearing a Leupold VXI. Unless I can get my sks to group worth a damn (not likely) or convince myself to finally pickup a K31.

 

[crazydave]

Tikka T3, 7mm rem mag, stainless with wood stock.

 

[bettieguitar]

Custom .375H&H with Zeiss scope and Harris bipod.
