I'm like a woman's shoe collection. It depends on my mood,distance,terrain,and how thick the area is I'm the same way but I always come back to a favorite when I can't make a decision... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/90YGzMDZ/0225191505a.jpg)

gonna go with a Rem. Model 700 BDL .270 that I got from a member on here. My 30 year gun, a Win. Model 70 in .270, has got some kind of issue where the bolt won't close with a shell in the chamber and so far, no amount of cleaning or gunsmith has been able to figure out why.

I hate to hear that, that seems like it would be a fairly straight forward fix.

Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Damn AU338MAG......that’s a lot nicer gun than that M77 7mm Mauser that you would shoot 30 years ago. Had it custom built by John Gallagher a couple years ago. 338-06 AI. I refinished the stock on my old 7X57 last year. It looked like someone had drug it behind a truck but it looks better than new now. Need to get the metal reblued next.

Steyr prohunter .308 with a Vortex Diamondback II 3-12×42 using 165gr sierra gamekings thing is a tack driver i did polish the trigger but it breaks clean at 2.5 from the factory. last 6 deer ive shot were DRT thru the neck any where from 50-175 yards havent had to track a blood trail yet with it so far.
before that i shot a Howa 1500 .270 topped with a first generation Nikon buckmaster 3-9x50 i polished the trigger in it also to take the grittiness out I used that rifle nearly 10 years and cant count the deer its dropped. my current 2nd favorite for long shots in a shooting house is a Remington milspec 5R .308 topped with a Vortex Viper HST 4-16x44 in an HS precision stock with a Timney trigger set to 2lbs. then i got an old 30-30 that bounces around the truck when im in the brush stomping around
oh and my sons youth model savage trophy hunter 111 in .243 with nikon prostaff 3-9×? I shot a couple deer with it in youth season because my son was sleeping like a rock but he knows the GW drill its also my favorite lightweight rifle to carry into hard to get to places.
