Which rifle in your battery is your favorite to shoot right now?
Can be a 22 LR or a 600 Nitro.....
 
Tikka T-3 Varmint in .223. Unless I really screw things up accuracy with virtually any load is assured.

Remington 700 Mountain Rifle/DBM in .260 Remington.


A very close 2nd is my 1895G that I took a rasp to the stock and forearm. I cut the forearm down like a Model 94. The gun feels 1000% different, much nicer and snappier.
 
My 338 Win Mag....

It is doing pretty decent with the 210 PT's. Running right around 3060 with them and accuracy seems to be pretty decent with it.

While not a tack driver, it is pretty consistent, and plenty accurate enough for it's intended purpose.
 
Sorry, cant do it fotis, as it depends on which part of the world I am in. But I can do two

300 H & H and 375 H & H both are pre 64 model 70 s, 1948 and 1949

Plus I would be hard pressed not to include the 416 Rigby, custom made on a mauser action.

But the 300 has more going for it than just the fact that it is one of my favorite calibers, it was ordered and made for my grandfather
 
My 700 LSS 338 RUM.
Impressive power and accuracy.

If I were shooting today it would be the new Remington Tactical, but wind is 20+ so I will be playing with the grand baby. Go to be a day or two before a series of storms clear out
 
Right now? It'd have to be my 9.3X64.

That will likely change tomorrow. :grin:
 
Nice Rifles guys!!

At the current moment I can't get enough of my M71 348win. It is an absolute dream to shoot. When they designed the stock they sure knew what they were doing.

My Mosin Nagant M44 hacksaw Bubbster truck gun with the cheap 1.5X4X scope on it. Still got lots of cheap milsurp ammo to feed it and it's usually with me when I'm driving on logging roads and find something interesting to ventilate. Have also dropped several deer with 174 gr Hor rns from this rifle when I carry it into the thick stuff in bad weather. It just does what it needs to do every time no matter what.

I probably shoot more rounds through this one than any other cf rifle I have and it's just easy to hit targets with having that much practice on the gun. It fun to pull the ugly Bit&# out at the rifle range and outshoot the Remchesters.

A close second would be my K-31 that I shoot As-issued CMP matches with.
 
Oh, I don't know, it is between my .257 Roberts, FN and my Number One, 9.3x74R. I still have much restoration work left to do on the .257 and I am still doing load development for the 110 AccuBond bullet for the Roberts. So far, the most accurate load for the .257 is the 85 grain Ballistic Tip bullet at 3390 fps. This will be a great coyote load!

The 9.3x74R is next on the list. I have started developing loads for (4) bullets in the 9.3. They are the 270 grain, Speer Semi Spitzer, the 250 grain Nosler AccuBond, the 276 grain Nosler Partition and the 276 grain Norma Semi Spitzer. We shall see what falls out of this multi-bullet testing as the most accurate. I am sure that any one of them will be a great medium game bullet.

A toss-up between my 700 .338RUM and my Kimber Montana .300WSM. They both shoot better than me. With the .338 on an Elk hunt I know if everything is right when I pull the trigger I've got a lot of work ahead of me.
 
My MRC 1999 in 7mm08. Just doing a break in produced some groups that made my jaw drop, and it did an amazing job on my hog hunt that I dont think I will need another rifle for some time.

Rem 700 SPS-V 243 AI with VX-3 EFR 6.5-20. My paper and steel shooter.

A close second is the Rem 700 Sendero 300 RUM. Another fun one for banging LR steel or hunting :mrgreen:

Well, I'd have to say my custom .35 Whelen Mauser, hands down. I have a very accurate load using the .225 gr. barnes TSX over RL15 that has caused the demise of two elk so far. :grin: 8)
Now I'll be playing with the Nosler 225 gr. Partition and AccuBond. Results so far are promising with the Partition but the AccuBond is proving to be a tad difficult. The Partition is staying in one inch but the AccuBond, so far anyway is only doing 1.75" at best. :( Oh well, I won't be doinf another New Mexico elk hunt until next January so I still have plenty of tome to play with that one. :wink: I kind of want to use that one next year as I liked the results my hunting partner got from his 7MM Rem. Mag. on his elk. Guess we'll just have to see what we see on that one.

Right now, I'm very into my 338R. Load testing is coming along nicely and it is very pleasant to shoot. Very excited about what I'm going to slay with this rifle.

I'm also excited for my new brake (lol or is it break :lol:) to be installed on my STW. Hello massive amounts of Retumbo!

Also going to give some love to my M70 270 Weatherby. 150 N-ABLR going to be getting a work out this spring.
 
Mine, hands down, is my 22-250. Its a tack driver!

Second on the list is my beloved 280. Also a tack driver!

Accurate rifles are always nice to shoot! Something very satisfying about actually hitting the target! Those are nice rifles Screaming Eagle.
