I use a Ruger MkII stainless .243 that has been modded slightly. I also carry a TC Icon in .308. The .243 is my favorite and has been the demise of MANY pigs and predators over the last few years!

Remington Model 7 in .223, Rossi lever action in .357 mag, Marlin .17 HMR, Savage .204 Rugar. Model 7 and Rossi have the most kills.

Encore in 22Hornet. I have taken song dogs and hogs with deer standing another 100 yards out. The deer dont run. A little pop does the trick

I have several but the one I always seem to go to is the old school 722 in .222. it will get the job done.

My wife wanted a rifle to hunt bobcats with. I bought her a Remington mod 7 in .223 and put a Leupold VX III 4.5x14 on it. She shot her first bobcat with it.

I've got a TC Prohunter in .22-.250 I like real well. Accurate as all get out and heavy enough to settle well on a moving shot.



I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Very early Remington 722 re-chambered to .223 Wylde.
It was my Dads and older than me and I'm old!
Still does the deed on varmints quite well and is capable of shooting way further than I wish to attempt.
I also carry a old Mossberg Tactical Turkey loaded with 00 buck and appropriate choke tube when it's up close and personal.

Have been shooting the 300 Blackout AR lately tho....LOL!

Marlin XL7 in 25-06. Camo Stock. Caldwell bipod. Like using the 25-06, they don't go anywhere.

I am in the process of rigging a useful coyote calling rifle to replace my heavier savage. Remington 700 .243 with a lightweight non-glare finish 20" barrel, detachable magazine, topped with a low mounted Burris 2-7 scope. No pics yet, it is at the gunsmith getting the trigger adjusted and glass bedding the stock and getting rings and bases installed. Hopefully it will replace the Ruger 77 Ultralight .223 I miss dearly...
