[QUOTE="buck8541, post: 1454681, member: 75845"] I have come to the conclusion that I have too many rifles, some I have not shot for hunted with for more than five years, therefore I am thinning out my safe and focusing on my current hunting line up which is: 1. Winchester M52, 22 LR, Leupold VX III, 1.75-5X. 2. Remington 700 Stainless, 223 Rem., HS Precision Stock, Shilen barrel, Nightforce SHV, 4-16X. 3. Remington 700 Stainless, 308 Win, McMillan stock, factory barrel cut down to 21", Leupold VX III, 2.5-8X. This is my California rifle because it shoots 5/8" groups with Barnes, 150 gr TTSX bullets, its light and kills hogs, deer, and black bears with ease. 4. Remington 700, 280 AI, McMillan Stock, Lilja barrel, Leupold VX 6, 3-18X. This is my primary rifle for out of state antelope, deer, and elk. It also shoots 150 gr Barnes TTSX bullets very well (3/8 - 1/2") 5. Remington 700 Stainless, 338 Win Mag. HS Precision stock, Shilen barrel, Schmidt Bender fixed 6X. This is my elk rifle when I hunt in the Northwest corner of Montana, and Northern Idaho. Shots are often close less than 150 yards (in a few cases surprised off hand shots) and chasing elk through blowdown timber and snags is not my idea of a good time. 250 gr Accubond’s put bulls down fast, not to mention, I seem to have Grizzly encounter every time I hunt up there. Nothing bad has ever happened, but it’s comforting knowing I have 250 gr of bullet to use on a grizzly if it ever comes to that. [/QUOTE]
