Savage 99E in good ol' .308 win.
That ugly gun is a joy to carry and shoot things with. Lite, fast & accurate.
However, just 'cause I use it most doesn't mean I don't need more! Whenever I bring home a new gun or fishing pole or whatever, and my wife asks "how many more do you need?", my response is always "just one more, honey. Just one more"!
The more I get to know the less I find that I understand.

Rem 721 35 Whelen with Nikon Monarch 1.5x4.5 Only shoot 250gr RNs out of it and it will take on anything from coyotes to moose, don't care for bear meat.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Yorketransport, were you shooting towards the Rainier end of Vail today?  Someone was across the road sighting in rifles today, just curious. 

My go to is my bow but if I had to choose riles.....250 Savage for predators on up to deer  and my BAR .300 Win Mag for bigger game.

I call on a rem 700 action behind a bull barrel in a 300 wsm, resting on a mcmillan stock shooting 165gr. nosler accubonds :drool: it's a heavy set up to pack around but your only young and dumb once and I feel good behind it I think I have killed everything I've pointed it at!  :hello:

Nope. I was down in Capital Forest. And so were a lot of other people from the sound of all the shooting. :chuckle:

Remington 700xcr in 270wsm for deer. For elk Remington model 721 in a 300 H&H. Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 223rem. for targets and varmints.
Nothing like a Remington model 700xcr.
