Show Your Hunting Rifles!

[Hondo64d]

Thought a thread similar to the Precision Rifles thread but with a hunting slant would be kinda cool. Here's mine to start:

It's a Stiller Predator in a McMillan Remington Hunter stock smithed by Bryant Custom. I've got two barrels for mine so far, a Brux #4 chambered in .260 and a Brux #5 chambered in .308. Here it is with the .260 barrel on it. Scope shown is a 4.5-14 Conquest, but it currently has a 2-10 HD5 with the Rapid Z 600 reticle. Occasionally I'll put the Bushnell LRHS on it if I want to play at ranges beyond what the Rapid Z reticle provides.

It loves 130gr VLDs pushed to 2940 by H4350.

[Carl_Ross]

This has been my #1 hunting rifle for the last two years, but it got refreshed with a new scope and stock this year.

Rem 700 based 6.5x47L - basically a Gap Non-Typical barreled action
Now with a Manners EH3 and a Bushnell LRHS

It's been shooting 140 Hybrids fantastically, looking forward to getting it bloody again...

I've used this one the last few years for the most but also carry a 1940's FN commercial mauser in 30-06 and a Remington 600 Mohawk in 243.

 

[jcann]

Just a plain Jane Winchester M70 in 7wsm built by GAP with a Manners T3 and a MTU 26" Bartlein barrel. Naturally I'm not humping it over mountains but I can cover several acres from my ground blind where I hunt.

That is indeed Logan, good eye!

I'm loving both the rifle and the scope. Picked up a second LRHS a little while ago, and am keeping my eyes out for a deal on a third...

 

[Oregonmuley]

I've got two I really like. First one is a Kampfeld Customs built .243 on a Borden Alpine action. Been my lucky antelope rifle the past couple years
The other one started out as a factory Remington SPS stainless I also sent to Kampfeld to bling a little, its a 7MM-08 I will be taking mule deer hunting in about 3 weeks. Both sit in McMillan Classic Edge stocks

Carl,

What twist you running?

Thanks,

[Carl_Ross]

John,

I bought that rifle second hand, and cannot remember if it is 1-8" or 1-8.5", but I am certain it is one or the other. I ought to measure it one of these days...

[29aholic]

1920's Winchester 54 30 Gov't 06
K 1.5 Weaver
Stith mounts (no extra holes)
Stock was cut when I got it with a cheap rubber pad. I dug through junk boxes until I found the old leather lace on one.

 

[LegioX]

There's some awesome rifles here Gents! My contribution is a Rem 700 Custom Safari KS in 375 H&H, rubbed and tuned by Jared with APA. The can is a Delta P Design in 9.3mm cal. I really wanted a do it all gun. Jared cut the bbl to 20", pillar bedded it and made up a Fat Bastard brake. The rail is from Seekins, I can witness the irons both over the rail and the can. The Leupy QR rings make it a snap to go to irons if one needs to enter the pucker brush for any follow up work.

 

[LegioX]

Winchester 1917 in .30-06. Fecker 8x scope.

300 Win Mags

Here are my 300 Win Mags. The Mod 70 I have had for about 20 years. It originally was a 7 Rem Mag, but after shooting out the barrel I decided to go with the 300. The Stiller is an AO build, 25" Brux, NF 3.5-15. Since getting the AO the Winny doesn't get much range time anymore. But it has lots of memories and it's a beautiful gun.

This has been the trend for the last few years, getting a more modern gun and putting the classic on the shelf, for the most part. I'll post up more soon. You guys have some very fine looking hunting rigs.

 

[Jig Stick]

Here is my new hunting rifle. Hand carved claro walnut stock 30.06. BAT HR melonited action. 24in 1:10 bedded and floated Brux barrel. Jewell trigger. Talley UL rings. Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40.

[supratt96]

Here's mine. Nothing sexy, but it gets it done and shoots sub 1/2 MOA.

Cooper M22 Phoenix, 6mm Remington, 6.5x20 Zeiss Conquest.

 

[Grand]

They are all hunting rigs, but...........here is one I am partial to. Beanland .260

Here's another in 7mm Hart (read 7mm Mag AI).

 

[valkyries]

Here is one of mine. 1974 Weatherby Vanguard, 24" barrel chambered in .243.http://s42.photobucket.com/user/val...0910_173633-1_zps90723f76.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1

 

[Elite_KG]

Similar tastes it seems....

 

[Hondo64d]

Good looking' rig. Specs?

[ratrod54]

I'll Play... I wanted a 6.5 Creedmoor in the worst way but decided it had to be more than a paper puncher. The primary purpose is for hunting. I put the SWFA 5-20 scope on it for the time being however I have a Zeiss 4.5-14 x 44 that I like and will change it for the upcoming season.

This is a SAC 6.5 Creedmoor/Manners T6A Elite layup/Bartlein Barrel-Rem Sendero Contour. Its just shy of 10lbs without glass and can (Should be ~11+ lbs with the Zeiss and rings).



The first is a 22 Mag and the other a 10/22 Take Down. Both great squirrel/rabbit/whatever etc...

.22 Mag is a Savage with a Boyds Stock...... 3-9x40 Zeiss.


10/22 Take Down Green Mountain Barrel/Kidd Trigger/Nikon P-22


My Elk rifle is nothing to write home about and I don't have any pics. Great rifle though - Ruger M77 Hawkeye - 300WM

 

[UCChris]

I have my hunting rifle (first centerfire) on the way! Should be at my FFL Friday. It's a Ruger American Predator in .243. I'm planning a few mods, but it'll stay mostly stock.

GAP .308....this rifle has put a few on the ground for me...

GAP .338LM. One of my favorite antelope rifles..

My old standby for most of my hunting career was this SAKO L579 .220 Swift. A couple from "back in the day". I still have it, and always will.

 

[THellURider]

And now for something completely different...

Blaser R8 in .375 H&H, .300 Weatherby and .270 Win

 

[jonthomps]

I'd love to spend a day just going through your trophy room Pat! Man you've shot some big bucks.

[Hondo64d]

I don't hunt with my Low Wall .260 as much as the Stiller, but when I do, it seems to work fine…

No hero shot with this one, but also killed with the .260 Low Wall…
