.50 caliber Virginia Style rifle if going old school. .243 modern rifle

Tikka T3 - .22-250

If you figure out where the days go, let me know. Lol

A beauty there Don !!

Actually isn't too hockey-stickish at all. I would have passed if that was the case.

I didn't commission her but she fits like she was made for me. It's a little spooky how easily everything lines up when I shoulder her.

Thanks Ness! I also really like my J.P. Beck Rifle too in .45 cal

Been shooting much Don ?

.257 Roberts = more punch than a .243
7mm-08 is I was where moose/elk were

But those awful pretty smoke poles on here sure get you thinking. Gun owners should lament the in-line synthetic turn of events in end loaders if for no other reason, the beauty of the beast will never equal those craftsman's work.

I'll still take a 22 and a brick of shells over a high power rifle if I'm gonna be a mountain man dispatching catches and hunting food with just one gun.

We had our meat shoot last weekend - out of 10 matches - I took a first, two seconds, a third and a 4th place. Felt pretty good since the last time I shot was the September rendezvous.

Well, got me thinking 308 now. Thanks for changing my mind.

i have to vote for 243 win....

Swedish Mauser, 6.5x55.

According to the pics, I will take a .308.

huntin with grampas 760 in 244 ffor sat. rifle opener.

last 2 yrs i killed buck with dads in 30-06

I've laid down many deer with my BAR .270. But...it's louder than a good poaching gun. lol.

hunted with a ruger77 in 270 from the age of 12 till about 48.he's semi retired now.in a few years i'll break it back out for a nostagia hunt.

One thing about a .270 is that if you get a piece of a deer, it don't go far. It's a bit overkill, lol.

I've had my Ruger 77 in a 280 for 23 years,many whitetails,mule deer,pronhorn and elk shot with it.Next year i need to break in the new rifle,a Christensen Arms Mesa 7 mm that i just won for our Big Buck contest,i'm sure it will shoot very well,had i not won it i'd never spend that much on a rifle,now i need to figure out what optic's to put on it,leaning towards a Zeiss.
