What Is Your Favorite Rifle?

[660 SilverTip]

I know that some or maybe most of us hunt with our quads. Just out of curiosity, what is your caliber of choice?

 

[MrSled]

We hunt shotgun county....mine would be my 870 but really like the 1100...lol. For me I would like a 3030 but I am no hunter and have no idea on guns :shock:

 

[660 SilverTip]

Well Mr. Sled, have you ever seen those little bow and arrow kits at Wal-mart? You know, the ones with the little suction cups on the end....

 

[MrSled]

Come on the shot gun can do more damage then that...LMAO

3 years ago I bought a Browning A Bolt Medallion .300 Win Mag with Leupold Vari-X III glass. I mainly hunt Whitetail (I know, overkill) But wanted something with big knock down power for larger game such as Elk...etc. Then last year the release the new WSM cartridge. I kind of wishing Id have waited, but still, i love my rifle....KA BOOOOOOM...BBY

 

[660 SilverTip]

BBY....No matter what the spec sheets say, I believe the Mag has faster muzzle velocities than the WSM. I hear ya on the overkill thing. 300Weatherby Mag here. 150 grain. Browning A-Bolt (last years model) 22-250 for the varmits.

Tom,

Silver wasn't making fun of your shotguns, it was dat turdy-turdy.


Last time I hunted whitetai, 8 to 10 years ago,l I used a Winchester Featherlite carbine chambered for 270. It was my first one shot, one kill rifle as I spent a number of years toting the aforementioned turdy-turdy while wishing I at least had a good slug gun.
:?

 

[MrSled]

Steve, the kind of area we hint you cant get a shot over 100 yards, really no need for some heavy rifle....plus I can feel like a cowboy then.....LMAO

 

[SledderSteve]

Not over 100 yds.? Hmm, sounds like 7mm Mag or 300 Weatherby area to me. That way you either get a good blood trail or it's "pre-gutted".
:twisted:

 

[660 SilverTip]

Sweet Sledder! Blood Trail? What's that? After I shoot the Weatherby....I walk up to where they was standin, and there they are layin. Even with a big toe shot.

Turdy Turdy is a bush gun. With open sights. Cause anything over 80-100 yards is like.......well, have you ever seen the tragectory of a football headin for the end zone? EXACTLY!

 

[SledderSteve]

Yeah, I was just funning with him. :wink:

Even my little ol' 270 will stop a whitetail in it's tracks. Sad I haven't taken the time to go hunting in about 10 years. The opening of sled season follows deer season here by about a week and I was always taking that time to make my sleds run. (Back when I had it in my head to "improve" them until they work anymore.)

 

[MrSled]

Steve, I usually just toss bricks at them....damn things will run into anything....LMAO

Anyone got any interesting rifles for sale?

 

[YamahaXtreme]

Well considering I only have 2 guns
I use my 12 guage remington 870 for ducks, geese, pheasant and my other gun winchester .357 which I cant hunt with in Ma because it's illegal to hunt with any rifle with the caliber being larger then .22. I'm only 16 so hopefully some day I'll have a large gun collection.
