Not sure it's my best, but my favorite is my little Remmy Model 7 .260. Favorite status changes monthly for me so I'll probably have a new favorite in November.  :chuckle:

270 Win, Browning a-bolt composite stalker, 140 gr Accubonds. All in all, kinda boring compared to some of the cool custom rifles posted here, but the plain ole Browning sure is flawless.

My Remington Sendero 7mm RUM.  150 grain bullet 3600fps.  Topped with a Leopold VX-III 4.5-14x50 LR.  Nothing custom, just an over the counter rifle.  Its a tack driver.

What do you mean by "Best"?  Best shooting or favorite or worth the most $$ or ??

My best shooting is my Kimber LRV Model 84 in 22-250.  26" fluted SS barrel with 20X Leupold.

Favorite is M-721 Remington .270 that my Grandpa bought new in '48.  He built a custom Maple stock for it in '86 and my Dad cleaned it up and re-blued it a couple years back and gave it to me.  I topped it with a 4.5-14 Leupold.  It has killed almost every big game animal in North America.  MD, BT, WT, elk, goats, sheep, moose, bears...  I wish it could talk.

I know a lot of you may laugh but I love my inexpensive Savage 110 30-06.   Perfect for anything in the state.  Great in the brush and good in the open!!

Laugh? Now way. In all honesty, Savage has become my preferred manufacturer over the last couple years. In the process of building a switch - barrrel rig now. I'll be able to shoot a light recoiling 250 savage or a 338/06 all with just a 20 minute barrel change. Love my Savages!

Savage has really stepped up their products in the past few years, I was tempted to pick one up a few months back, but ended up going with another rifle due to a sweet deal

My new goto would have to be my new T/C Venture .270

Love the thing, but the weather has me feeling weary about bringing it out into the field... not stopping me though, just alot of 2nd guessing
Theres plenty of room for all of gods animals.... right next to the mashed potatoes!

Savage?  :tup: :salute:

My most Special rifle is the Savage 219. Single shot 30-30, 26in barell. I also have a Model 220 barell, it's a 28in 20ga that snaps on. The fit of steel to wood of the receiver is seamless, like one molded piece. The 30-30 barell looks like it belongs on Ma Deuce, 3.5lbs, wall thickness of 3/8-7/16ths...

What makes it so special? Grandpa bought it when Dad was off in the South Pacific during WWII. When Dad got back it went on countless Elk and Deer trips, Grandpa got his game all the time. It stayed at Grandpas till he could no longer live alone. Dad made sure he got it before his brother found it. It's in my bedroom now on display.
