Rifle you haven't hunted with but want to...
« on: January 24, 2012, 04:25:33 PM »
Anyone have a rifle that they want to take hunting but never got around to it either because you just always took the trusty rusty or maybe the gun isn't legal where you hunt, or it is a safe queen etc. What have you not hunted with but would love to. For me it is my Ruger No1 in 264 win mag. I just got it so i have not hunted with it yet and still have to work up some loads since all my ammo is with my other 264.
Bang...Flop......No tracking required.

I will take my dads 257 roberts out one of these days after deer! Just hard to put down my faithful 300  :bash: Maybe if I could hunt more than 1 week I could do it  ;)

I dont own one yet, but I would like to hunt mule deer with a Weatherby Mark 5 in .257WBY with a walnut stock.  I have always wanted one. I have shot one and seen all kinds of game taken by one, never owned one. Man.... :drool:

I did until this last deer season.

My .257 AI is such a pretty gun.  Purple heart on the forend and grip cap.  Brass in between the walnut and the purple heart, and between the walnut and the recoil pad.   

This year it dumped a forked horn blacktail I jumped out of its bed in a clearcut.  2nd jump and the crosshairs settled, and dropped him in his tracks.   :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

I'd like to hunt something with a Barrett 50.  But I don't have one and most likely never will.

Another Savage 219 in 22 Hornet.  Have it all ready to go loaded ammo and sighted in just never got it out, been playing with too many wildcats.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

I have one rifle that my dad gave me and requested I not shoot it. It is a early model 94 and in decent shape. I have had it for 20 years and never shot it. I may ask him to recinde his request.
