Browning X-bolt .30-06 stainless/walnut with detachable magazine. Bolt is engraved with my name. I had a matching stainless Zeiss conquest and stainless Talley rings but I sold that so I'm currently without a scope. |

The EE here on Arfcom has been very good to me.
The VX3 on my rifle was $275, in like new condition. I've got a few good deals on there, and missed a bunch more. |

Very nice. I looked at those hard when I decided to buy rifles, but went with Stevens instead. Money was tight then.
I've got a .223 and .308. Was worried about the Mossberg's accuracy. That was unfounded.

What stock on the Tikka, Liduidmetal? |

As is it doesn't fit in a scabbard or shoulder carry worth a damn. |

Another true hunting rifle. My Winchester Model 70 in 7mm Rem Mag. Custom stock. Simply scoped with a 3-9x40 Leupold. Only about 1.2-1.5 MOA hunting barrel, but plenty of power.
Pretty decent walnut.

so I am heading out next week to Meeker Colorado for an elk hunt with my dad.
In August, I picked up a savage scout in .308  The reversed cantilever mount worked well, so i proceded with that set up and made some modifications  american defense mount  ching sling I removed the factory shark gill hat blower and installed a vltor  The swift scope proved inconsistant, so last Friday, after my 4th box of 180 grain Fusion, I bought a 4-12 Redfield Renegade Saturday's session at 100  my dad has been working up loads with 180 Noslers heres the last 4 rounds of the day today at 200 yards  |

Quote HistoryAbsolutely, 100%! If there's a Precision Rifle Board, there should be a Hunting Rifle Board. Anyway, here are my two: Nothing fancy, a 2008 Marlin 336 in .30-30. Added Skinner Sights that I need to get zeroed. Also have an XS Scout Mount. Been thinking of throwing a Primary Arms red dot on it.  Remington 700 compact left hand in 7mm-08. Boyd's Classic pepper laminate stock, Timney trigger to replace the factory recalled one, DNZ mount/rings, Leupold 2.5-7 power scope. Really should get some better glass for this.  |

I'm glad this thread got started. There's just something about a bolt action hunting rig. I guess it just brings back good memories. |

Yeah, now for something completely different....... I don't think I've ever seen that caliber mentioned on this site, or ever.... It's an absolutely fantastic round with a history dating back to 1905 and African hunting. 286 Gr soft points are great for pretty much anything and with a very manageable recoil. There is a wide range of loads available. The Sako is more accurate than I am, but will cloverleaf at 200. I've hit 8" steel a few times at 400 yards, but I don't shoot as much as I'd like. I'm a big fan of the Ziess scopes and I've found the "Rapid-Z" BDC to be quite accurate when paired with their app. To say I'm satisfied with this setup would be an understatement. |

Wow, that's beautiful. Whoever sporterized it did a great job. Is that the original barrel? It sure is fat. Fatter than a sporter type barrel. I forget how thick the 1917 barrels were. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen one with the top handguard off.

I couldn't tell you if the barrel is original or not, its about 22 inches long. The rifle was gift, I don't really know the story behind it unfortunately, it came with what I just learned is a Montana sling too. |

My early 60's Mark V .300 Weatherby Magnum with original period correct Weaver V12 4-12x50mm steel tube scope. Light, elegant, flat shooting. Great down range retained energy. Recoil, especially with heavier 180+ grain bullets is . . .brisk, but manageable. A firm grip on the forestock is needed to keep it from jumping out of your hand. It will shoot one MOA three shot groups, then the groups open up due to heat in the pencil barrel, despite being freefloated. In a hunting rifle that does not matter. First shot from a cold barrel is very consistent.
This early Mark V action and barrel were made by J P Sauer in West Germany, the company presently called Sig-Sauer, as subcontractor to Weatherby. Weatherby was the first US company to offer hammer forged barrels in America on the Mark V.
