Everybody has that go to rifle or favorite caliber for hunting. Mines a Ruger M77 Mark II in 270 win and a Browning SA-22 in 22 lr for squirrel and rabbit. What’s everybody else carrying in the woods or to the field?
I sure wish they would do a strong re-release on the .30 RAR.My favorite changes every few years. The past two years its been an AR-15 in 30 Remington AR.
Interesting never tried either of those or the CreedMy GoTo gun for many years was a Savage 10 Sierra in 300WSM. It went after deer 75% of the time. It wore a 2-7X Leupold and was sub-MOA with 165gr Accubonds. Then I got the Creedmoor bug. I have owned 4 and presently have 2. The M18 Mauser with a 3-9X Leupold is deadly with 130gr TGK's. My field gun is Bergara B-14 wearing a 6-18X Vortex and is good out to 500 yards with 129gr Accubond LR's. Once in a great while I'll pull the Rem 700 243 out just for kicks and giggles, but the Mauser gets most of the attention now days.

The M18 was a pleasant surprise. I caught it on sale for $400 wholesale. It is a push feed with a pretty smooth action and an excellent trigger. I think that it has taken 26 deer with 27 shots. The doe that took 2 was at 230yards and was going down when I hit her again.Interesting never tried either of those or the Creed
