Weapons of Choice?
|
Posted 6 months ago I like my Ruger Super Blackhawk with Hydra-shok Rounds! Edward T. Cook |
|
| Posted 6 months ago Remington .280, 140 grain hydro shock bullets. In E. Texas, plenty big for the animals I hunt, deer and pigs |
|
| Posted 6 months ago My two weapons of choice are my Hoyt V-Tec bow and my Model 70 Winchester 300 WSM. |
|
| Posted 6 months ago I use a sweet Remington 700, 300 Ultra mag zeroed at 320 yards when I hunt in the Dakotas. My Minnesota deer gun is a Remington 760, 30.06 that I bought 30 years ago when I started to hunt - Old but always shoots straight. I also use a 10 year old trusty PSE Mach IV bow. I use a Remington 870 Wingmaster 20 gauge for Pheasants and Ruffed grouse. My Trusty duck gun is a synthetic stock on a Remington 870 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge. Im kind of a Remington fan but I do own several Winchesters, Mossbergs and Savages.
Happy Hunting! |

| Posted 6 months ago I pack a ruger M77 Mark II in 25.06. I use 117 grain Federal Premium. It shoots very flat and accurate. It lacks the knock down of larger calibers. I live in Montana and I hunt everything from coyotes to elk. I can't affored several different rifles so the 25.06 is a good medium size that works for it all. I just have to make good shots. I reject your reality and submit my own. |

| Posted 6 months ago i use either of 2 rem senderos. one in 7 mag and the other is 300 rum. in thick woods and brush I use a marlin 444 |

| Posted 6 months ago Bmorgan, good call on the 25-06. It is a very under rated round. I use it in a Remmie 700, and at times also carry a 308 and 30-06 in the same. Sometimes a short light 30-30 M94. I am lucky as carrying goes, when my farther died a few years back he left me a few more choices on what to carry the will always be here. |

| Posted 3 months ago I use my 270 Remington Model 710 with 130gr Federal rounds. Where I hunt that is plenty good. I use that when I hunt in Bedford County. When I am in Appomattox I use my Golden Eagle over and under 12Ga with the Winchester #1 Buck shot. |

The Colt .223 is a wonderful all around rifle. The Ruger 6mm might pack more 'wham'; but is heavier to lug around.
I have many others but prefer the .223 The Colt AR-25 chambered for .223 is great--you can also get a .22 bolt for the Colt!
When I was young; all I was was my old Remington bolt action '06 wow what a cannon!
If you hit them in the right spot--thats all you need.
