I personally like my Tika T3 25-06. But I want to know what do you like?

I really like my Tikka T3 .300 WSM but I like my Ruger Hawkeye .243 a little better.

My .308 Remington 700 VTR with 6-24x50 scope with mil-dot reticle and a harris bi-pod. :)

Hopefully soon to be replaced with a 300WINMAG Savage Long Range Hunter with same scope, but with a 30MOA base and same bi-pod.

I really like all of them.  But my good old boat paddle stock Ruger 77SS in 300 win mag topped with a leupy vx II in 3x9 just flat seems to kill stuff everytime I pick it up.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

My custom M25 with US Optics SN-3 is my best rifle, but my favorite is the same as goldtips.  My old ruger always kills.
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.

Well i really like my 300 wsm stainless ruger, topped with my zeiss 3-9 stainless conquest, loaded with 180 grain xtp. The gun has performed flawless as with the scope.

Well my only rifle is a browning A-Bolt Stainless Synthetic left handed model, chambered for the .270 Winchester, and topped with a Luepold VX-II 3-9x40mm, it works good for me.

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!!

I don't think anyone should laugh at a Savage, they make some very accurate, but cheap rifles.
