What gun are you going to use this year?

impact · August 28, 2005, 10:00 PM

I have killed many deer with my Winchester featherweight mod 70 in 270.

And along the way she got a few dents in the stock. But she is still a good shooter.

This year I want to try something different. I bought this CVA black powder Mag bolt 150 on sale.

Quote:

The gun shoots pretty good. and for a sidearm I need to refinsh this kit gun

Quote:

and dress up like a mountain man. I passed up a deal on a Thompson Contender Hawkins 54 cal rifle. I wish I had bought the gun

. That would have looked good with the mountain man outfit. I don't hunt for horns. I much rather hunt for the meat. I just wanted to do something different this year. Have that traditional look.

Show me some of your hunting rigs for this year.

I will be taking a Ruger M77 .338 Win Mag (215 grain Sierra GameKings) and a Ruger M77 Stainless Synthetic 7mm WSM(160 grain GameKings) to Colorado in six weeks for a cow elk hunt.

For deer I will use my Remington 700 .270 with 150 grain Sierra GameKings.

I have had a long standing love affair with the Winchester Model 70 and love my .257 Roberts. I believe it is the most beautiful bolt action rifle made and when they came out with the COYOTE rifle 3 or 4 years ago I immediately wanted one. (I have not gotten one yet)

Your featherweight looks great!

308LAW · August 29, 2005, 12:50 AM

probably my Remington 700 BDL DM 25-06 with 115 grn Nosler Partitions.

Wildalaska · August 29, 2005, 01:10 AM

With a bit of luck and some fast load development a Husqvarna 1600 in 6.5x55..

Other than that pre 64 Model 70 in 300 H&H

Browning Mircoburner set at 55lbs, Cobra site (Trophy Ridge in waiting), Carbon arrows(not shown). Broadhead choices will be Magnus (ol' uncle Ted's) or NAP expandable 100gr. Shown here, ready for travel, strapped to my internal frame with 3liter hydration bladder.

Sum1_Special · August 29, 2005, 05:24 PM

For big game hunting, there is only one rifle I need. Been taking it on every hog and deer hunt for the past 10+ years. No rifle I like better and no rifle I bought cheaper...

It's The Mosin Nagant M1891/30

Ain't it a beauty?

stevelyn · August 29, 2005, 05:57 PM

Ruger #1 RSI .30-06 stoked with Federal High Energy 180 gr Nosler Partitions.

Big Yac · August 30, 2005, 12:21 AM

I'm using my Ruger SRH in .454 Casull this year for deer hunting. I'm getting a scope for it though I havent decided which one yet, I am leaning towards a Burris 3-12X. I think I'll have a good chance this year

20cows · August 30, 2005, 11:38 AM

Arisaka type 99 in 7.7-06 or the the Win 94 in .30 WCF (for now) that I'm customizing again.

Trip20 · August 30, 2005, 12:14 PM

Remington 700BDL in .270win with 130gr Winchester Ballistic Silver Tips.

Can you say,... tack-driver. I love this gun!

Charles S · August 30, 2005, 01:08 PM

I ran across a great deal on Winchester Model 70 in 300 WSM. I have not killed anything with it yet, so I must take it hunting (to get blood on it).

Yeah, I know that is strange.

zeisloft · August 30, 2005, 01:35 PM

Charles, thats not strange at all, were in Texas aint we?

Cowled_Wolfe · August 30, 2005, 09:03 PM

I'm going to be hunting *possibly* next year with my K31, but that's only if I can find a hunters' education course, someone to take me hunting, and somewhere to get some more trigger time first.

And maybe a bigger fridge.

And if ya need to a finishing shot, you can always just opt for the bayonet (10 cents cheaper)

i coulda sworn that was a chainsaw actually

my savage model 110L .270 loaded with 130 grain SSTs or for real short range bush work mayyyyybe mayyyyyybe mayyyyyybe my brother's SKS but i will have a hard time trying to convince myself to take it, if i do itll be limited to 50 yard shots and im only considering it because of the open sights.

HOKIEHUNTER · August 30, 2005, 10:50 PM

renegade alpha-1 70# bow, encore 209X.50, and encore 30-06

Likely is (hunting a la "DOOM3"?). But Motorcycle / Small Arms have a long and distinguished history. Had an "anti" buddy back in the dark ages that rode a BSA. He was appalled to learn what "BSA" actually stood for.

mitch1352 · August 31, 2005, 08:13 AM

I am going to try a T/C Contender G2 in both .44mag and .375JDJ. I think that the .375 may be a bit much for a whitetail, but I don't like trailing one in the woods. Besides, when I ordered the SSK barrel for it, I was told that I will be ready for anything on the planet. We will see.

Coltdriver · August 31, 2005, 10:20 AM

I am taking an Encore with a .450 Marlin barrel on it to hunt elk in October in Colorado.

Then I am going deer hunting in December in the Eastern Plains. I think I may take an old 1949 Model 70 in 30 06 but I may take a .243. Have not decided yet.

20cows · August 31, 2005, 11:12 AM

I forgot. What does BSA stand for?
