My gun of choice in 2024 is my Kimber 84L in 30-06, 24" barrel topped with Nikon Monarch 3-12 x 42.
In years past was a Weatherby Vanguard-2 synthetic stock in 7mm-08 with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9. Great Texas hunting caliber and very good rainy day gun.

Savage Axis 2 in 300BLK with an Athlon Helos BTR 2-12x42 for most things. If I need more reach, then it's an older Weatherby Vanguard Deluxe in 30-06 or a Winchester Supergrade in .264WM.

Here's my custom Ruger #2 TX Hill Country deer/hog rifle:
6.8mmSPC II; Ruger #3 action; Ruger #1 wood; Shilen med-hvy 1:10 22" barrel; Leupold 6.5x-20x glass; Weighs 9lbs
Super handy in a blind & extremely accurate.

Suppressed AR in 6.8 SPC-II. LMT lower with Blackstone Arms upper, ARP barrel, and Saker 762.

I do a rotation unless I have to pick a rifle to be hunt specific.

6.5 Grendel AR. V Seven Weapons lower with Trigger Tech Competitive trigger, Luth AR stock, JP silent capture buffer and Ergo grip. Athlon Ares scope. Atheris billet upper.

I LIKE THAT Old School Single

Over the years fall back to Remington 788 in 7mm-08 if I feel like I just need to kill some meat. Mostly hunt with the CZ 527 converted from 7.62X39 to 6.5 Grendel.

if shots longer than 300 yards are expected usually pull out the Cooper 6.5-284

For just fun one to carry and good for shorter ranges Marlin Trapper 1894 357 Stainless laminated stocks

Last few years it’s been Ruger Scout 308 with a Primary Arms PLX Compact 1-8 and a Trash Panda suppressor.

It’s only 8.5 lbs and 41.5” overall length with scope and suppressor.

Rem. 788 carbine in 7mm08 or Browning BLR in 7mm08

I have a safe full but my go to gun is a butchered WW2 Eddystone Arsenal 30-06 that I traded a Win 3030 for many years ago. I scoped it, custom stock, competition barrel. I finally shot out the barrel and had a competition barrel installed. It doesn’t shoot as good as the old one did when it was good. Or maybe the old guy doesn’t shoot as well as he used to.

I don't have anything against the Lego guns other than they don't have the class that beauty has.

Last 5 kills have been with Dad’s Mark V .257wby with a Huskemaw 5-20 (best scope I had available) shooting 110gr Accubond’s.

700 in 30-06 or Tikka T3 .270 WSM

Man we have a great dispersion of cool weapons in this thread

This is My standby for the last bunch of years, since the 6.5 Juddmoor was invented. But I think I found my next "GO-TO"

McWhorter 7mm08

Sig Cross in .308 suppressed

I don’t have a blind to hunt out of, but I would use this 6GT for deer and pigs like mentioned. Typically a 6.5-300 or 300 PRC gets used on the wheat fields we hunt, long shots are the norm.

Ruger American Ranch converted from .300 BLK to .300 Ham’r. Magpul stock with Trijicon Accupoint 3-9 x 40 on top. Q Trash Panda on the muzzle.

Tikka T3x 243 win, Vortex 4-16x44, loaded with 90gn TGKs

My easy button is another Tikka T3, .270 Stainless Light that's good for any weather condition. Nikon Prostaff 4-12x40, Federal Fusion 130 grains.

Probably the cheapest and ugliest rifle I own, a Savage Axis XP II chambered in .243. A no-frills rifle I picked up on sale at Academy that came with a free Super Combo hunting and fishing license. Easy on the shoulder and just keeps killing them.

I don't blind hunt. But this rifle is carried every day. It goes with me always.

Tikka action, bolt, trigger.
Bartlein #3 chambered in 7mm-08 A.I. 16" long
Manners EH-1
CDI bottom metal
Atlas bipod
Night Force NX8 4-32X
162 gr ELD-X

Very nice looking rig for sure!
