The Hunting Rifle Picture Thread

A real pretty .300WM Supergrade and a cool Nightforce:

The elk rifle:

7mm WSM Kimber 8400.

Winchester 1885 in 6.5 Creedmoor. With hot loads and the 28" barrel it approaches magnum velocities:

CZ 550 in 416 Rigby with the new Trijicon hunting series 1-6 (which, if it holds up, seems like the stone cold nuts in terms of eye box and illumination for DG):

09 Argentine mauser 7x57AI by John van Patten.

My Remington 721 in 30.06. Weaver KV scope.

Weatherby Mark V ultra lightweight left hand in 7mm Rem Mag with a Leopold VarX 3 3.5x10 scope.

Probably my favorite rifle right now, since I shot a 1/2" (lucky) group with it recently:

My buddy has a Model 70 like yours and we tried sighting it in, but it made horizontal groups over an inch wide, but less than 1/8" high. I took it home and checked the scope/mounts. The rear mount was loose and after tightening, shot 1/8"-1/4" groups at 100 yards. One of the best out-of-the-box hunting rifles I've ever shot and I've shot well over a hundred when running my part-time gun repair business in conjunction with a sporting goods store in Central Maine.

That's beautiful. I need to have the bolt handle redone on my Brazilian Mauser so I don't have to run high rings...

thanks
Try to find someone with the bolt forging fixture, if you were local I could get one to use.

I believe the bolt body on this rifle is new, it's one peace,the handle does not look welded on like some one added it. even all the parts are new with numrich on them.

Nice what barrel and bottom metal?

My Browning BLR .358 had a date with a Canadian black bear this month until the COVID put an end to that trip

I have been having good luck with Shaw barrels for the money- and PTG is sending me the bottom-

This a 14 pt. buck I shot a few years ago with a .223 AR.

That's a beautiful rifle!

Diamondback AR10 with a Primary Arms 4-14x44 ACSS-HUD-DMR-308

Remington 700 in .243. A hunting rifle, that I could use in the precision role if need be...

Ill keep the R700 in 243 trend going. BDL with a 3x9 Leupold. Factory varmint barrel. Ive taken two small bucks with it. It was my first Hi-power rifle.

How about two 700s, one in .30-06, the other in .270. Need to scope them.
