[QUOTE="garys43077, post: 425549, member: 26509"] I already own the rifle I would stick with if I had to forsake all others: A Remington M700 Custom Shop KS Mt Rifle I bought in 1987 or 1988 in .338 Winchester Magnum. It shoots 1/2 MOA with 225 gr Accubonds doing 2900 fps. I only hunt deer or larger though. With this rifle I've shot 100lb whitetails in South Carolina to 1000 lb roosevelt elk in Oregon and I would not be afraid to hunt anything else on this planet with it either; although I might change bullets depending on the game. Now that I think about it though I would be afraid to hunt plentiful small game with it, because after about 10 shots with this 7lb (total weight with scope), 47 ft lbs of recoil, rifle I do start to wimper a little bit. It's so accurate, never let me down, have so much confidence in it over all package is why I'd choose it above all others. I'm not saying the particular rifle model or caliber is the best ever, I'm just saying it works for me. I have 7 other rifles but I love "My" KS Mt Rifle. [/QUOTE]
