If you could only have one hunting rifle what would it be ???

[T.R.]

I'd choose my Glenfield 30-30 because its very accurate and hits hard at reasonable distances.

Couldn't do it. I'd have to have one 22lr and one centerfire. The 22 would be my CZ452 and if I had the money a 7mm-08 on a Mauser action with a 20" barrel. Pretty hard to come home with an edible rabbit using a centerfire designed for big game.

No, it isn't. I used to pot rabbits with a .30-30 with .310 round balls, a small charge of Red Dot, and poly fiber filler.

But I don't want a 30-30 as my only centerfire. LOL

For a long time, my "go to" has been a Remington Model 7 in .308, Leupold Vari-X 2-7X Compact, in an H.S. Precision sporter stock.

My Ruger 77 Mk.II RDX in .30-06 w/ Nikon 3-9 has killed everything from Blacktail at 25 yds to Elk at 150 yds. to Antelope at 350 yds. I've played with other rifles in other calibers, but I always go back to the sub MOA Ruger.

Probably my Ruger orange pad M77 in 270 Winchester. Followed by my REP Marlin 336SS 30-30. 3C

 

[Hanshi]

Only one!? Well it would have to be my Sav M99 in .250/3000.

At the time, I did a lot of researching, and decided that a SAKO Finnbear in 30-06 was going to be my one and only.



It is still a good rifle, even after swapping stocks



Since then, I have gone nut case and bought too many rifles in too many calibers. So much for good intentions and the common sense of not owning too many different calibers! But I think were I to start over, it would be a M70 with a claw extractor in 30-06:



Whatever the rifle, it would still be in 30-06. You know, you don't have to magnumize a 30-06 to have excellent performance and accuracy. It operates very well with loads under 50,000 CUP.

I think a 22 lr with a well placed shot would take any game in the north America.

Unless you were in some kind of true survival situation, there is no reason for that though.
