I hunt and camp alone typically, and mind my own business at the parking areas / campsites on public lands, so I only know the chamberings of mine, which it seems like what you're asking (chamberings, not rifles)...so far, .50 cal ML, .243 win and .30-30 win. Oh, once I went with a friend who had a .45 cal ML. This weekend, I'm sighting in my .30-'06 for an elk hunt come Monday. I'm pumped about both that hunt and that rig - both the rifle and scope are new/virgin, and of superb quality (for me) - T/C Icon Classic wearing a Trijicon Accupoint; can't wait to put it to use and harvest with my cow tag - if possible. Sure as hell gonna try for the 3 days they let me.

Last 2 years I used my .280 rem but didn't feel like whipping it out this year. Sighted my .223 rem for deer, but decided against it, since I love my .243s so much.

Mutt of a 20 inch 1/7 Noveske/BCM with a Trijicon Accupoint TR22G 2.5-10x56 and a Hornady 75 gr Steel Match BTHP.

 

[Inebriated]

No hunt clubs for me, so the only guns I see are mine or the people I invite to my land.

That said, here's what I've seen...
- My own Savage 111 '06 and a couple of my AK's
- Dad's AK and SKS
- Grand dad's Henry Big Boy .357 Magnum
- Uncle's Savage 16 .308 and Savage 116 .338 Win Mag
- Cousin's Savage 116 .300 Win Mag
- Buddy #1's Savage 111 7mm Rem Mag and his .50 cal black powder rifle (no idea on brand)
- Buddy #2's Steoger SxS 12 Gauge
- Buddy #3 used my Savage Axis .243


Big Savage presence around here.

dang, that buck was gut shot bad

 

[Browning]

Never touched the gut, he was facing me at an angle and I hit the shoulder, pulverized the heart, collapsed the right lung and went out the ribs.

 

[nathan]

Nice shot

 

[Browning]

Thanks.

your the only one I see. I still think the guy with the 307win has the oddest one I've seen

 

[TexasPatriot.308]

this year one of my friends showed up with a DPMS in .243....I stick to sensible rounds and guns

 

[Inebriated]

.243 is fine. I wouldn't really want to carry the DPMS around, though... Not when a 6lb bolt gun would suffice.

Like ? lets see your list , that's the point of this thread , to see what's getting what with what , by the way , over the last 3 years there have been many 243's listed
