It's Devastating! It turns moose into coyotes and vaporizes snow for a 1 mile radius!

Go to rifle
Winchester model 70 Supergrade chambered in 7mm Rem mag pushing 140 grain failsafes out from under a Leupold VXIIIL, 4.5x14x50! It's no fun to carry around but shoots like a dream!

Mine is a 1959 model 70 featherweight 30-06 I bought a 1994 from the old Hungry Hounds shop in Lethbridge, where every used rifle had been previously owned by European royalty.
I killed a lot of game with it over the years including bears, moose, elk, bison, goat, both deer, etc. From 5 yards to 500 it didn't matter. The standard load finally settled on the 150 TTSX just reaching 3000 fps over 59/H4350.
About 2009 I had Bill Leeper give the metal a facelift and bed the old girl into a McMillan compact edge stock. With a 6 x 36LR in low Conetrols it weighs exactly 7 pounds, and is perfect.
Don't ask me why I have spent so much money chasing far too many custom rifles over the years I have owned it.
These days it is supposedly my spare rifle and semi-retired as I have a beautiful custom 280 built by Leeper on a transition action, but it seems very hard to leave this one at home.

Filled the freezer for many years with my Remington Gamemaster pump 30:06. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

I have two, kinda. The one I would never sell is my grandfathers Eddystone built M17 that he got in the Homeland Militia during WW2. I don't take it out because I really don't like the trigger on it but it's still a shooter either way.
Next is my fairly new Remington 700 AAC in 308. I bought it this year, did the load for it this year, got my first animal with it this year. It will hold a place for me for some time to come.

My happy gun is my recently acquired cz 455 super match. I just love plinking with it. I have one gopher and a magpie with it so far. This one will remain open sights and in my cold dead hands

That's what you call major ground shrinkage.

I use a Browning B92 that's probably killed more large animals that the guns of 98% of the good folk on this forum. I've even killed buffalo with it. For gophers, it's either my 17 hornet if I want long range practice or yotes, or if I want iron sight practice, it's a CZ 453 lux.
I did replace the rear sight on the B92... Something about it since I did that... It just doesn't seem to 'come up' into sight line as naturally as it did before.

I just picked up a marlin 1895 cowboy with the 26" octagon barrel and it's quickly becoming a favourite, she's a looker I would like to add a couple features in time such as a large loop leaver, ghost ring sights, bear proof ejector and improved spring kit.

Another 88 fan here!
I have other big game guns but this is the one I reach for.
My Dad bought it in the late 60's at the Canex in Cold Lake, passed it down to my brother and he passed it on to me.
She really loves the cast 200gr Lee boolit. Took 2x whitetail this year and a cow moose two yrs ago. Topped off with a simple gloss Leupold VXI 3-9x40, 200 yards with 200gr cast is no problem if needed.
