Cost or brand aside, what are the three rifles you just can't separate with? I'm looking for some inspiration here, but I'd like to know what everyone keeps pulling out of their safe. I'll leave mine below.


1. Bartz AR .450BM (company changed to Brenton)
2. Ruger 10/.22
3. Browning X-Bolt .300WM
 
1: Kimber montana 8400
2: Kimber montana 84
3: Remington 700 in McMillan game scout

The Kimber stocks just fit and feel right. Ive owned different ones for a few decades. Ill probably always have one.
Same with a Remington 700 in a game scout.

I need to try the Tracker model stocks to see how they feel.
 
This is easy cuz I only have three rifles. All stock pretty much.

Tikka T3x 7mm-08 stainless
Tikka T3xl 30-06. stainless
Browning xbolt .243 blued

I shoot the 243 for practice, hunt with the 7-08, the 30-06 stays in the safe in case I have to shoot an elephant.
 
1.6.5 tikka chopped and threaded
2. 6mm tikka build
3. 6.5 CA ridgeline fft
These are the current 3 faves, 10-22, couple other tikka’s and a RAR would all be honorable mention
 
Thats tough

I recently added two Tikka's in both 6.5cm and 223 and expect those to be my heavy users for this year. Prior to those though my main guns were

1. M70 270 - My primary hunting and long range gun (just ordered a rokstock for it so expect to keep it in the rotation)
2. M94 30-30 Truck gun, cabin gun, trail riding gun and just fun to shoot
3. Ar15 carbine filling the same niche as the 30-30

While I will have to see how things play out I expect the Tikka 223 and the AR to be my main pairing as a set of do anything guns sharing common ammo. One or both will go pretty much everywhere with me. I will sub in the 6.5 or the 270 if something larger is needed which will not be terribly often.

I keep wanting to do something with my 300wm and my 338 but I honestly cant come up with a useful role for either of them.
 
T3X in 6.5 CM
T3X in .223
10/22 Ruger

He said your top three rifles.. “that you keep pulling out of the safe” lots of rifles are sentimental or heirloom’s. AKA dust collectors.. IMO
