Rifle you haven't hunted with but want to...

[nontypical176]

My old man gave me his 45/70 for christmas.  I am one of those guys that will crawl through the heavy reprod here on the wet side trying to take an elk or just to get away from the crowd, plus I like ticks, but usually just end up flushing something out to someone else, or chasing game in circles...I have taken elk like this before but every time I enter the jungle I've thought there has got to be a better gun for the job.....that 45/70 with open sites might just be the ticket.  I could jump right into the thick stuff and not worry about seeing another hunter for hours or screwing up one of my scoped rifles.  For such a big bore its fairly light and feels great in my hands, can't hardly wait to try it.

I've never hunted antelope and I've been eye balling a Sako Tecomate in 270WSM, so that's my dream.

.250-3000 in a savage 99 for pronghorn , my retirement hunt?  I really like the Yakima tribes pronghorn reintoduction!

I have a 1910 Mannlicher 9.5 x 57.  (.375 Nitro Express).  Was gifted to me and intend to someday work up some ammo and at least shoot the beast.  Would be nice to take it on a hog hunt this spring.

i'd like to have a big cape staring down the barrel of 500 nitro express

I think it would be awesome to shoot anything BIG with a double barreled nitro express!

I read a book one time that talked about the commercial hunting of buffaloes in Austrailia...it was a long time back.  The preferred method of hunting was on horseback, and to get the buffalo to charge you.  When the buffalo was right along side of you, you would use your rifle like a pistol, and shoot the buffalo in the head.  I can't imagine the type of rush that would be!

I'd like to get out and shoot my percussion Sharps enough to feel good about going after deer or elk with it.

Ugliest looking rifle I've seen in a long time

John Garands baby. M1 Garand that is.

Also have a single shot with a bull barrel in .280 Rem that I'd like to get out and kill something with.   .

that could be such a cool long range rig.

I've got a .280 rem heavy barrel for my Encore I'm thinking of running this year if I can build up the muster to not roll the .300wm....feel free to talk me into it. I'll have to decide real soon between a couple scope options.

160 grain bullets get up to the .500's BC.  Hit's like an 06 with flatter trajectory and less recoil.
