Post by: Huntbear on October 10, 2008, 09:18:41 PM: Sako for me, simply love the action and the accuracy. Browning and Remington bring in 2nd place
Title: Re: What Brand?
Post by: Wacenturion on October 10, 2008, 10:08:16 PM: Sako here also. Favorite deer rifle is my .308 L579 Mannlicher, late 50's early 60's vintage.

Post by: Kent Hunter on October 16, 2008, 08:42:31 PM: Weatherby 1st. If I could have voted twice I would have voted Sako as my second choice. I shot a Mark V syn stainless in .300 WBY topped witha stainless 3x9 Leupold for years.The wife shoots a .270 Wby Mark V syn, stainless topped with the same Leupold and both of those shootin irons are TACK DRIVERS!! I shoot a Sako TRGS chambered in Lazzeroni 7.82 Warbird now. It's a great rifle also. Nothing to complain about it. Altough it deffinately SNORTS a bit more than my Wby did when you squeeze the trigger. :o

Post by: KillBilly on October 16, 2008, 09:21:55 PM: Should of had a choice for "ALL"... it doesn't matter to me as long as it spits high speed projectiles out one end. It is just a tool like a hammer or saw. You either know how to use them or you don't.
Title: Re: What Brand?
Post by: 300rum on October 16, 2008, 09:29:10 PM: They seem to shoot better if they are Made In the U.S.A. I can't stand the foreign stuff.
Title: Re: What Brand?
Post by: wadu1 on October 17, 2008, 06:16:08 AM: No clear favorite but tend to lean to CZ. I have a Remington 700 & 66, Browning A Bolt SS, Winchester 70, Marlin GG, 2 H&R's, Custom Varmet FN Mauser action and three CZ's calibers from .17 HMR - 45-70, Now if we talk shotguns Beretta is a hands down winner in target guns, Baikal is great for Saltwater because they are cheap and if you have motor problems you can use them as a paddle. For upland birds and freshwater ducks I like Remington's (1100 & 11-87) and LC Smith. You will note I did not list any Bennelli's when they work they are fine but I've seen way to many DIF (Dead in Field) and the recoil is a lot stiffer then Beretta and Remington auto's :twocents:

Just an additional note; My Browning A Bolt SS does jam/lock up on me here is the situation if I push the bolt up on perpose or snagged on a branch or what ever the safety will not disengage without slapping the bolt down. This did cost me a nice 4X4 buck in Canada in 2005. :bash:
Title: Re: What Brand?
Post by: Intruder on October 17, 2008, 01:21:15 PM: Real partial to A-bolts. I have A SS Stalker and I used the action on a custom gun. Sako pretty darn good too as is Rem.

Title: Re: What Brand?
Post by: JB on November 02, 2008, 06:16:30 PM: Ruger M77 MKII. Works great, looks nice, hits where I aim it. Quite fond of the Marlin 336s and the Guide Guns.

Title: Re: What Brand?
Post by: GoldTip on February 10, 2010, 06:45:07 AM: Sp far the only rifle I've not been happy with was a Winchester, just wouldn't ever shoot. Have a couple Rugers, a Remmy, a Mauser and a Browning, a Marlin and an H&R. Just can't say I like anyone one of them better than the other. But they all have their sepcific application.
Title: Re: What Brand?
Post by: MikeWalking on February 10, 2010, 09:02:56 AM: Savage is the sentimental favorite seeing as how I have the one Grandpa fed the family with 65+years ago.

Pretty happy with the Savage MK II I just brought home and the Remington 700 I just bought although the last round hangs up if not loaded carefully.

My Marlins, the 1895 LTD III is a beauty. The 1895gs I used to have was too after some interior work..tool marks. >:(

The last Winchester 94 I bought was a P.O.S. Make that the last two. I returned the first one an hour after I got it home when pieces started falling out. Someone stripped out some screws and tried to put in bigger ones. The one I got back hadn't been fully deburred. Both were the Composite-Stainless model. The Model 94 Legacy I bought in 98? was another Beauty. almost kept it for myself, Xmas gift...

I'd like to buy something from every good Gun maker.

Title: Re: What Brand?
Post by: Maligator on February 16, 2010, 06:51:24 AM: I voted Tikka although I would like to get my hands on a nice Sako Safari. A bit to pricey just yet. The Tikka's action is butter smooth and trigger is nice and crisp. Shoots sub MOA just like the box said it would! ;)
