Corrected Legendary arms photo. Above was daughters Ruger American Predator.

I seem to always grab this 308 whether I’m hunting mule deer, whitetails or predator calling. Just bought a new, lighter weight 6.5. It might turn into my new hiking friend.

As the saying goes, "The rifle I like best is the one I'm holding."
Can't quite give an answer on my go to rifle but I can tell you one thing.....it will be a tikka.

One thing threads like this always make me think about:
I do NOT take enough 'gun- on-a-fencepost' pics.
It really doesn't matter what kind of pawn shop, hand me down, piece of shit, bang hammer you own. Slap it on a fence post & by God it belongs in National Geographic.

Which safari sling do you use?

The Boonie Packer Safari Sling

https://www.amazon.com/Boonie-Packer-Products-Safari-Sling/dp/B07CQKQQ83

It carries over your shoulder like a guitar strap and allows you to use your hands for glassing, looking at maps, etc. with the rifle in the ready position.

I really want one for timber pounding. I think I'll give that a shot.

Although I have quite a few model 70's I enjoy, the last couple years when heading west my Pre 64 M70 280 AI MCM edge has gotten the call.

 

[Pharmseller]

Stainless Tikka 7mm-08. Got both of these with it.

Note the angle of the bend in my elbows. No long-arming here, boys.

Where's @PNWGATOR ?

He seems to have found that one gun.

Great choice in rifle and cartridge! I've had that rifle for 10 years now and still love it.

Can I have two? Kimber Montana and Springfield Waypoint. I need to put the rifle in more kill shots, both 308’s.

Rem 700 youth model, I put in a Brown's stock & converted to BDL bottom metal, bored to .358
It's light, handy, accurate as anything & just does everything i need it to, really well.

Is that a 35 Whelen or a 308 necked up?

.358 Win is a necked up .308

 

[6.5x284]

6.5 SAUM +P DE spun on a Defiance anTi gets the most use. Of course my can got out of jail a week after this elk trip. 8.3Lbs suppressed.

For weight conscious trips I run a Fieldcraft in 6.5 CM.

Also shortening up a Kimber MT 280 AI to 21” to match the Fieldcraft size and will +P if DE does work on Kimbers.

Lot of great setups on here.
