The Hunting Rifle Picture Thread

Guess I better make this year's contribution to this thread.

Other than bow season, I carried my Kimber Montana in 6.5 CM, stoked with 140gr Accubonds, and topped with a B&C reticle'd VX-3i 2.5-8x36 in Talleys around every time I was out looking for elk.

Finally bloodied it the week of Thanksgiving.

My trusty X-Bolt SS in .30-06 came on all of my trips as a backup, but didn't make it out of the truck this year.

I guess this is a good opportunity to update this thread with some recent pics. As I've mentioned in another thread, I had my two main hunting rifles chopped and threaded for my suppressor ahead of this next hunting season.

Here's the 6.5 CM Kimber Montana from the picture in my post above shortened to 20".

And my trusty .30-06 X-Bolt with a stumpy 18.5" pipe.

I have killed a pile of deer with my rem 7600 in 3006, I heard they would not shoot worth a damn in the past. but my rifle shoots fantastic with my reloads of 165gr nosler BT with 55 grs of imr 4350 as the target shows compared with 180 gr factory.
