firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 Thats easy. Remington model 721 in .270 Killed my lion with it. Dad killed his first elk and deer with it. Late grandfather killed everything with it! Moose, Caribou, Black bear, Grizz, muleys, whitetail turkey.. you name it and grandpa killed it. It is VERY accaurate, especially for being 50+ years old. Im talking 1/2" every time! I love that gun and I would be a bum walking the streets with my Duovids and that rifle strapped to my back. It is old and beat up but man do I love that gun and does it shoot! AzpackNhorns and RedRabbit have both seen it in action and they can attest to the accauracy of that old SOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ichiban43 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 When I was 12 yrs old (I'll be 65 in Aug) my Grandfather gave me his rifle when he quit hunting ---too old to do it anymore. It was an '03 Springfield that was mildly customized. He bought it in 1939 through NRA for $7.50. He killed mule deer and blacktail deer with it. In about 1965 I got the bug to make a longer range rifle out of it. I had a custom Fajen Varmiter stock put on, Timney trigger, Beuler safety and a 3-9 Weaver Widefield scope with Redfield Jr mount & rings. The barrel was cut off and crowned --to get rid of the ugly front site. I had it chambered to 308 Norma Mag--the 30-338 to you old wildcatters and very similar to the Win 300. I now use 79 1/2 gr of H4831 pushing 165 Noslers. I had played with both 180's & 150's depending on what I was after and finally settled on one load for all. I have killed Elk, both Bulls & cows, Mule Deer, Blacktail Deer, Coues and Antelope with it. It has served me well in my years of hunting and has much sentimental value. I consider it a family heirloom. BOB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAM Report post Posted May 8, 2008 Hey Casey, what's a whitetail turkey? They must be extinct or something now from over hunting and global warming or something like that? I'd sure love to add one of them to my big game collection. I'd probably put it up on the wall right next to my jackalope and a real nice snipe I caught when I was a kid on a camping trip with the boy scouts. Right now my favorite rifle is a Christensen Arms .270 weatherby mag. I've killed three coues deer, 1 mule deer, 2 antelope, and 2 javelina with it. It will probably become my back up rifle as soon as my .300 RUM custom is finished later this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couestracker Report post Posted May 8, 2008 My Browning BAR .308. Took my first bull, first cow, first coues, first muley and 5 antelope with it. It shoots great and a fine looking rifle. CouesTracker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunDevil Report post Posted May 8, 2008 gotta go with the christensen 700 in 7mm mag. I have taken 3 coues and 2 whitetail with it. with a neoprene sling it can be carried all day and not even know it is there. also you can put anything through that carbon barrel and it shoots them all the same. also the carbon barrel does not heat up when at the range so you don't have to worry about your bullets wandering all over the paper.

Coues Sniper Report post Posted May 8, 2008 No surprise here... my Christensen 300 RUM. 7 lbs scoped, and like SunDevil said it shoots like a laser no matter what she eats. Best shooting rifle I've ever owned. Love that gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hancock7WSM Report post Posted May 8, 2008 My favorite gun is my Browning titamium 300WSM. It is deadly. Its killed an antelope, a mountain lion and 4 coues deer. I sometimes think it can shot around corners. Its light and easy to shot. Best gun you can buy in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajohunter Report post Posted May 8, 2008 Remington Model 700, 300 RUM. Stainless with synthetic stock, and now topped with a brand new SWAROVSKI Z6 scope. That rifle has taken Antelope, Coues deer, Mule deer, Elk, and many other varmints. My other favorite rifle is my Whitworth 375 H&H Mag. I used that to kill my moose and caribou with in Alaska. Not much use for that Caliber in Arizona though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
