What is your favorite go to rifle for hunting.
You can throw in your favorite side-arm as well if you would like.
Pics appreciated!



I like the Marlin 1894C in .357. with matching 4in revolver.

I'll snap some photos tonight, if I'm going for high performance I grab the Savage 10FP or the Remington 700 Sendaro. If I'm packing long distances or hiking in thick woods my Ruger Target Grey Frontier is pretty much perfect, and I really have an affinity for this rifle. When I'm rolling with a bunch of old timers I take the 7mm Parker Hale 1200 Super.
 
Back when I used to shoot (Pennsylvania) it was my Marlin 336C, 30-30.
 
Thompson Center stainless Encore in .243. Favorite pistor at this moment is G36 Glock .45.
 
Whitetail Deer: Remington 700 Classic in 7mm-.08 with a Bushnell Elite 3200 scope

Varmint/Predator: Remington 700 ADL Synthetic in .223 with a Leupold VX II scope
 
Marlin 30AS .30-30 w/ 160gr Leverevolution
Ruger Security Six 6" .357 mag

I want/need a big bore levergun or single. Then "favorite" may have to be re-visited.
 
I haven't rifle hunted for quite a few years. Switched to archery and love it..
However, my favorite hunting rifle was a Winchester model 70 SS in 338 win.
mag.
Not very perrty, but it was a great shooter. I use to hunt Elk in very nasty weather conditions, so the SS worked out great.
 
Marlin 336 topped with a Bushnell 1.5-4.5x scope. I've considered going back to the Williams peep sights I had before, as the last couple years my longest shots were under 50 yards.

I want a Marlin 1894 in .357 mag in the worst way right now.

My one and only sidearm is a Ruger GP100 in .357 mag. Can't seem to find a picture of it, though.

I didn't know Winchester made a lever rifle in .30 carbine.

The only factory lever action rifle in that cartridge that I am aware of is the now discontinued Marlin Levermatic.

To the OP, lately my go-to hunting rifles have been one of my Remington Model 7's, in either .243 Winchester, .260 Remington or 7-08, or when I'm in the mood, one of my Savage 99's.

Past favorites have been a Interarms Mark X in 7mm Mauser, a tang safety Ruger 77 in .280, BLR's in .358, .284 and .308, and a tang safety Ruger 77 International in .308...and there have been others...
 
Deer & Black Bear - Browning M92 lever action in 44RemMag- plain and simple 240gr softpoints

Moose - Weatherby Mark V bolt in .338 WinMag - 220gr Noslers

Small Game - Ruger 10/22 and a no name(stoger) sxs 12ga
 
Mine would have to be a Savage 24C camper 22 rifle/20 shotgun. Cylinder bore and a real game getter. Great rifle for a walkabout.
