Out of several rifles, it has to be my 1980s Rem 700 ADL with a new .243 Win, Pac-Nor Stainless Super-Match barrel.

The rifle was a .22-250 that won many turkey shoots and killed a lot of woodchucks, but I haven't been doing either of those things for awhile, so the .243 is a better all-around cartridge for my present needs. So far it's gotten a running coyote at 190 yards and did a great job. This fall, it also spent some time in the deer blind with my grandsons.

After all the trouble getting the rifle re-barreled, I wouldn't go through it again for other rifles, but this one has way too much history to trade it off.

My new Remington 700 SPS Buckmasters .270 with a Nikon ProStaff 3-9 X 40. And I almost sold this thing last week! Yikes I'm getting senile.

I've only got one rifle so my favorite is my Mossberg 100 ATR in .270 WIN. People hate on these rifles but mine is just as good a shooter with factory ammo as any Rem 700.

 

[geetarman]

Remington 700P .308.
Ruger M77V 25.06

Both are a hoot to shoot and both really do well.

My old Rem. 700 BDL LH. Bought it used. Adjusted trigger myself. Put a Brown Precision very light weight synthetic stock on it, glass bedded and free-floated barrel. Leupold VX-III 2.5 x 8 scope. MOA with the right handloads, i.e., Nosler 130 gr. Ballistic Tips. Got my best mule deer with it at 400+ yards north of Douglas, WY some years ago. Second choice is my Browning A-Bolt SS LH .300 Win. Mag. Same model of scope. Also glass bedded and free-floated. MOA with Nosler 180 gr. Protected Point bullets (designed for the long .300 Win. Mag. in "standard" long action rifles.) Biggest elk at less than 20 yards; 130 lb. black bear two days later at over 400 yards in Montana in the Bob Marshall west of the Divide. Wonderful hunt!

My favorite, but one I don't have, is a custom LH bolt action .280 AI, perfect for every critter legal in the lower 48.

My sporter 1891 Argentine Mauser, 7.65x53. It's short so it's easy to carry in the woods and it knocks down deer just as well as any other rifle for being an antique.

All three of my BAR Safari Mark II's , .270 .30-06 and .300 WM with the latter being my most favorite!

That 22 is one fine looking rifle. What make & model or is it custom.

You put a BOSS on a pre-64 70? Did you "need" to?

Interesting that so far, none of the favorite rifles are mean ol' black main battle rifles.

I'm really attached to my Savage 110 in .30-06. I set it up with a one piece mount, weaver steel rings and weaver 3x9x40 scope. Added an x-coil pad to the stock, a foldover cartridge carrier and a comfort sling. It is what comes with me into the woods. It's not my finest rifle but it is dependable, light, nice handling, very accurate and the accutrigger is great.
