A-bolt 25.06 with 22 inch barrel and a Nikon Monarch 3-9x40. Shooting a Federal Premium 115 grain Nosler Partition. It works fine for me anywhere from thickets to new clear cuts. I turn the scope down to 3 in the thick stuff and crank it up to 8 or 9 over the cuts.

I go to my BAR SHORTTRACK 308 in MOBU when the bucks start chasing does. It has a Zeiss 3x10x50 on it. I still keep my custom 7mm-08 bolt action in the truck in case I decide to use it.

I've got a tc encore with a burberry barrel in 7mag and a nikon bdc on top and a 7mm 08 barrel with iron sights. Got several other rifles ruger m77 my dad gave me for my first rifle and a pair of remington 7400 woodmasters in 243 and 30 06 that belonged to my grandparents

But all I have hunted with this is my h&r ultra slug hunter. It's as accurate as most rifles and all I ever hunt is corp land or thick stuff on a couple wmas

Depends on whether I'm in the woods or on a green field, in a tree or in a house, but more often than not I grab a Ruger 1 in 30'06 topped with a Zeiss Conquest.

Sako model 75 Finnlight, .308, 2 lbs 12 oz trigger setting. Hornady 150gr SSTs. Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8 with custom heavy duplex reticle. I hunt NA mountains in very thick timber. I need something fairly light, short, swings good, that shoots off handed well. This is the best rifle/scope combo I've ever toted for how and where I hunt. And.....it's a tack driver, yep, I said it! laugh

Depends on the mood mostly.

Thick woods where shots will be close and fast : NEF 44 MAG w/ 2x7x32 Bushnell

Mountains or where alot of walking is involved : Wifes Ruger American compact 308 w/ 3x9x40 Nikon Prostaff

Bean fields: Browning A Bolt 30-06

Got a Savage 300WSM and a Rem 700 243 for whenever the mood strikes to carry something different

Just picked up a Winchester model 70 300 Win Mag that will become my bean field rifle next year, the WSM will become my mountain rifle

2.5-8 are 36 mm objectives. For some silly reason Leupold doesn't offer it with heavy duplex. Mine was sent back and installed several years ago. Now you can order them straight from their custom shop.

Seems like yours works pretty well for you then, unfortunately mine has a front sight/gas block combo so the sight radius is kind of short and not very forgiving. In the meantime, I have a synthetic Savage 110 in .270 with a Nikon Buckmaster in a DNZ mount. I feel like both are good mid-level combo that won't break the bank are pretty accurate and reliable.

A 1970's Remington 760 (pump action) in .308 topped with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40. For me it is the best of worlds for the way I typically hunt. Rugged, reliable in all conditions, short and fast handling, rapid follow up shots, accurate.

My first deer rifle was that same gun in a 270. Bought it used from a guy in 1975. Had see thru mounts and a 3x9 Bushnell scope. It sure was fun to shoot. Sold it when I was a freshman at Auburn to buy a bolt action. Wish I still had it.

My buddy bought the same gun in a carbine model in 30-06. That thing was a cannon.

I have a Winchester 7mm Mag. Switched my daughters savage axis 7-08 from managed recoil to regular ammo this year and bought a Nikon 3x9x50. This is my new weapon of choice when she is not with me.
I think it is about 22 lbs lighter grin

Last few years I've been using a Stevens 200, 7-08 with a Leupold 6X heavy duplex. I use it rain or shine. It's 7 lbs and shoots great with every bullet I've tried. I've done the high dollar, stainless, lightweight rifle thing and prefer my $199 Stevens.
