'Proper' platform for cartridge?

[BK]

Just had a thought pop into my head as I was pounding out a PM to Joel... is there a cartridge/rifle combo that you think is proper? By proper, I mean if you think of one, you automatically think of the other? The first two that sprung in my head were M70 Featherweight/.270 Winchester, and M700 Mountain Rifle/.280 Remington. Maybe 7x61 Sharpe and Hart/Schultz and Larson Mauser?

Weatherbys are too obvious an answer, Fotis!

The one that comes to mind immediately is the Ruger Alaskan in 375 Ruger.

One more would be

[Guy Miner]

Absolutely. Some rifles or handguns & cartridges just go together:

Springfield = .30-06

M1A/M14 = 7.62 NATO/.308 Win

Colt = .45, either revolver or semi-auto

AR-15 & variations = 5.56/.223

I note that those are all military.

Ingrained in my head at an early age by Grandpa, .257 and Weatherby go together.

[FOTIS]

M700 for any heavy barrel accuracy rebarrel.

 

[Elkman]

I remembered a couple on the way to town .

The AK and te Mosin Nagant cant remember the caliber designations.

I guess I was looking at this a little differently. When I think of, say, .30-06 or 7mm RM, I can't think of a specific weapon to go with it. You guys may say '742' or '03A3' but I think about it as much in an M700 or Ruger #1, but for whatever reason, .270 screams 'Featherweight'. When I think of .44 Magnum, I think almost as much about Redhawks and SRH, Super Blackhawks and Bisleys, Dan Wessons and Desert Eagles. 1911 and .45 ACP is a pretty good one (ignore the .38 Supers and 10mm for right now). There is certainly not one particular pistol I think of when I think 9mm... P08 Luger or P38 Walther spring to mind as much a G17/G17, S&W 39xx and 59xx, or Beretta 92/M1. .264 WM in an M70 Westerner or .338 WM in an Alaskan are pretty good (the .338 less so).

Pretty good ones (well, except for those pesky SKS carbines).
