So here we go...... dig deep in your vault and tell us what your choice for Bama Bucks would be?????
This would be for all around, so no bean field rifles and no 25 yard brush guns...
This would cover tree stands to shooting houses, stalking and still hunting, short and long range.....
Include caliber and load if you want and scope too.

I will start. How about the tikka t3x in the wood laminate. Short action so .308 or .300wsm(mine). Swarovski Z6 3x18x50.


Hunting brings out the worst in people.

I'm looking forward to hunting with my Tikka T3X Superlite with a Leupold VX3i 2.5-8X36. The 1-8 24" barrel should suit the 6.5Creedmoor nicely.
Lightweight affordable and I hope accurate.

Then one you can shoot accurately - without flinching - and make clean kill shots at any range you are realistically gonna shoot

You get to an age when the lengthy 270 or 30-06 cartridges on a cold winter day or in the dark require less fumbling. The cheap 3-9x40 works, the Blue Box Federal works better than some other caliber’s premium, and a Ruger All-Weather Hawkeye is the greatest.

The 30.06 is never a mistake, but really a glorified pine goat ain't hard to put down.. Find a rifle & round you like & hit the woods
