Set up this one for longer range nite hunting.

Don’t think about reversing. These are cheap dollar general

I like it!! Thank you

I like this thread. My go to is kind of basic compared to some of y’all but basic suits me. 26” Remington 700 Classic left hand in 7RM. My age probably has something to do with it but I am partial to blue steel and walnut. Barrel is floated. Action is bedded. Recoil lugs are trued up. Drop in Timney trigger. 4-12x50 Swarovski. Easy to shoot good and does more than I need it to.

Sweet little gun. I am currently outfitting an original 243 Model 7 for my sons first gun.

If I’m sitting close, I use my pre64 Win 30-30 that I bought new.

My Interarms Mark X .264 Win Mag.

I like it. Would not want the 26” though. I think I like the sling too but not sure exactly what all its doing.

Likey!

I have right hand version in 270 same scope and same trigger in my safe. The think barrel is 24” though. My 257wby sps is 26” though

Freerange, the long powder column of slow burning powder in 7RM uses that 26” barrel to push a 160 as fast as a 270 will push a 130. I don’t see the point of shooting a toned down magnum. The sling is handy for free hand shooting at extended ranges. It is not my first choice how to shoot. A dying facet of shooting today that is fun practice and useful as ever in the field.

Bobo, 270win does not get the respect it deserves as a big game cartridge on this forum.

The one that gets picked up the most is old reliable tikka t3 in 7-08 cut down and suppressed running 162 eld-m's. It's like a toyota tacoma; no matter who I give the gun to everything people shoot with it drops in its tracks.

Has never lost zero, always goes bang and is consistently accurate. My son shot his first buck at 200 yards with it over the holiday break and dropped him in his tracks. I suspect that will no longer be my gun and I'm going to have JG build me a LH version.

My go-to weapon is a bow, but if I'm needing to use a rifle and I'm serious about the hunt, my go to is a Mark V in .300 win.

Covered some miles with this rig in West Texas, its been to Africa and on several trips out to the Rockies.


Very pleasant to shoot, with the brake it's a cream puff


Sometime soon I will also have J.G build me a short action, short barreled rig to shoot suppressed, but for now, this is my go to for big game.

It was 2009 when my Go-To Rifle was stolen and I have been searching for its replacement since that night. To begin with I limited my search to various .308's.


The Ruger Scout Rifle ended up being my choice for a "Do-It-All" rifle.



However, around 2011 I picked up an AR in 7.62x40 and it grew on me. More and more I found myself using that little 16" carbine.



Then Wilson Combat came out with the new .300 HAM'R and I was hooked.
I still didn't have my Go-To hunting rifle but I did have my Go-Go Cartridge! The little 300 HAM'R will take care of anything I will ever have to face on my side of the country. Defensive, offensive, hunting, or just playing, the baby HAM'R will handle them all. It wasn't too long before I had half a dozen ARs all set up for the 300 HAM'R.



Then it happened! The 300 HAM'R became available in a bolt action. I liked the ARs but a bolt-action just cries out "Hunting Rifle."



The little Ruger worked very well and even if it is a little basic it can take just about any abuse.
The Kimber is nice, but a little too nice. The weather has to be just right and I have to make sure I don't scar it up in the rush. (Yes, it is my Gentleman's Rifle)
Now the NULA 20S goes a step above. It is as smooth as you can get and weighs under 6lbs. with the mounts, scope and fully loaded. It is short and handy as well as being the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. It is more accurate than you will ever need while hunting but that accuracy does give you a feeling of confidence. This is the first year I have hunted with it but I can already tell it will be my "Go-To" hunting rifle for many years to come.

Sig Cross .300 WinMag

"Brake"

Well “Brake” was already taken, so I had to improvise.

Thanks for your sharing your knowledge though. I’m impressed.

Second go to would have to be my .300 RUM. Killed a lot of elk with this one.

Try “Recoil Slowy Downy”. That’s what I’m going to call mine from hear forward.

It's a proper noun, spell it how you want. BTW, I gotta get that Bogpod. I borrowed a buddies. It's perfect for how I hunt most of the time.

They are very heavy

Now that's a fun rig right there!

Bergara ridge 6.5prc 140 Speer gold dot handloads at 3050fps with leupy 6-18 freedom and omega can.

Details please??? I like!

Henry Long Ranger 308W with TX60 IR scope.

BAR 270 1969 model. Leupold 3x9x50. My father bought it for me when I was 15.
It splits time with a Weatherby 270wsm, but the BAR is still my favorite.
