Favorite Rifle

[sprice]

What is your favorite hunting rifle (out of the ones listed)?

I have made this poll to see which guns people like best in case I have to refer a friend or neighbor to either another hunting rifle or their first hunting rifle.

 

[docnyt]

Did you mean to start a poll? I see no choices listed...

 

[husker]

None
Mohawk 600 in 5.56 its my dog killer
I HAD A DREAM! BUT TEXAS LONG HORNS WRECKED IT AGAIN!

Weatherby or Howa? Certainly the Weatherby Vanguard is made by Howa, but no way you can group the Mark V into that category.

There is also a big difference between what I really wish I had and the favorite of what I do have.

My favorite of what I do have, is a Remington700 BDL. What I wish I had...well I am not sure this site has enough bandwidth for that list...

Have you tried a CZ? I have a CZ 452 American and this rifle is great. Don

 

[Coal Dragger]

None of the above.

 

[Freedom_fighter_in_IL]

My favorite is the one I have in my hand at the time. Since I hunt many different species and sizes I have many different "species" and sizes of firearms.

I bet Coal Dragger's is a Black powder ??????????

[Coal Dragger]

No not black powder, I don't even own a black powder firearm.

If you're thinking my screen name has anything to do with black powder it does not. My screen name has to do with my current profession, since I make a living dragging coal around. About 14-17,000 net tons of the stuff at a time, divided into 120 to 135 connected containers. I also drag some freight around, but where I work mostly coal.

Sharps 45-110. big gun + big bullet = huge holes in stuff!

 

[SwampWolf]

Savage Model 99: for whitetail and black bears at least.

 

[TexasPatriot.308]

Ruger No. 1 in .308.

 

[dagger dog]

Even though I voted M77 Ruger, I could have voted Savage.

 

[Erik M]

I preferred the first high powered rifle I ever bought, a weather proof Mossberg ATR 100 in .270 but since its not on the list I have to go with the Ruger.

 

[whipper]

i don't hunt, but love shootin the win 94

 

[Kachok]

My T3 was not on the list, so I voted for my second fav the Savage 110. Once I get my FN model 70 I might have to change that vote though I have really liked a couple remmie 700s that I really liked, but they have been so up and down over the years, Tikkas and Savages have never let me down.

 

[Airborne Falcon]

Wouldn't it depend on what we are hunting?

What are we hunting btw?

Southern Whitetails?
NE/Midwest Whitetails?
Blacktails?
Pronghorns?
Elk?
Griz?
Moose?
Black Bear?
Cougar?
Hogs/Pigs?
Yotes?
Prairie Dogs?
Prison Escapees?

 

[ThePunisher'sArmory]

I had to vote for my Savage. Although my dad really likes his M77s.

 

[armoredman]

Only bolt action I own is a CZ 527M carbine in 7.62x39mm, great little handy rifle suitable for medium game, I would assume, and is quite accurate. Other than that, I guess my vz-58 could be used, if I could find 5 round mags for it.

 

[unwise11]

Howa M1500 .308

 

[788Ham]

Savage 99 in .300, best shooter of mine.

 

[godsey5]

Savage 10ff in 308 with a 165 gr sst over some varget.

Jim

 

[CaribouLou45]

Out of the ones listed? R700

My favorite? Thompson Center Encore chambered in .270 as I hunt mostly deer and I only need one shot

 

[oldbanjo]

I've been lost for hours in the Swamp in SC carrying a heavy Browning Shotgun and I had a Browning 30-06, because of weight I always enjoyed hunting with my SKS with a folding stock. It is very accurate and just a fun gun to shoot. After that I put slings on all my Guns, including Shotguns. It's hard to wade in water holding a Gun in your hands, it's better on a sling.

 

[postalnut25]

I went with the Remington 700, because that is what I use now.

However, I like guns, so I'd like to try a hunt with everything you have listed. It would be good times.
