I've probably killed more deer with my old Marlin 336 in .35 Remington than any I own. My favorite is a Ruger RSI in .308. I also have a sporterized Swede 6.5X55 that is a sweet shooter.

I shoot either a 338WM by MGA or a 458M XLR.
I have ar10 & 15s but they are for play.

Asking which rifle I shoot is like asking what handgun I shoot. The question makes no sense because there is no one of anything. I shoot as many of everything I have as I can. Which one depends on what I am doing - paper, plinking or hunting and if the latter for what.
So many choices... so little dime!

Haven't carried a rifle for 15years or so; when I do, it'll be this one. Winchester 1894 takedown short rifle, circa 1907 or thereabouts. Turnbull reconditioned by previous owner  |

Last few years I've grown fond of an 1876 Winchester replica I have. It's chambered for the 45-60 cartridge...went that route because I had plenty of 45-70 brass to cut down for it.

I decided to rifle hunt this year. I've taken a hog with my suppressed 22-250 as well as my 22BR. Both were taken last weekend. My brother said he got a glimpse of a 300+ pounder so my 338 Lapua gets the nod for this evening!

My brother said he got a glimpse of a 300+ pounder so my 338 Lapua gets the nod for this evening! That is interesting with a .338 Lapua and a 300 lb squealer. Following that logic I would guess that the .22 250 and the 22 br must have been 60 lb porkers. |

Nah, the big gun will kill smaller pigs...  And the little gun will kill bigger pigs!  |

I hunt mostly deer. The 30-06 with a 150 grain Remington Core-Lokt cartridge does just fine. For frogs, a .22 is the ticket for head shots.

Well I have been running a 300 grain Sierra Match King with 92 grains of Retumbo ignited with a Federal 215. What is in yours? Scope is a US optics 3 X 17. I am not using a supressor on this one only on the .22.
Did you have any luck with the 300 pounder the other day?

I have shot both the Lapua and Hornady 250 grain factory loads in mine. I also have a box of Lapua 300 grain stuff to try, but I want to get Henry to glass bed this particular rifle first to "weld" it to the stock. I am running a Leupold 6.5x20 Mil Dot and no suppressor on this thing. Our mutual friend with the extra hairy face sent me some brass, and while I am working on prepping it up, I havent started handloading for mine yet.  |
