The Hunting Rifle Picture Thread

Here's my Savage 99 in .300 Savage caliber. Built in '52, I've got an El Paso 4x Weaver of similar vintage in the rings. The rifle is easily the most accurate lever action I've ever owned or even shot. Off the farm house porch rail, it'll keep the first three in an inch or less: Hornady cup and core, old school 150 gr Spire Pts, over 4064 gives my 2650 fps and a sure deer killer out to 250 in our local bean fields. Best Regards, Rod

And another....my wife's wedding present to me on November 7, 1970 was this Sako Forester in .308. I honestly can't give the number of deer it's killed as we loan it to visiting guys here on our farm. My longest shot on deer was with this old Sako, at good 8 pt buck here in KY on the last day of the modern gun season ten yrs ago...while fixing a leaking horse water tank by our barn I saw him edging out of the cedars on the far side of our property.

I had time to get down in a firm sitting position, and with a quickie sling on my left farm, I dropped him at 297 paces. It's an old friend, cherished by all who've carried her afield and will be a difficult to decide who gets her when I'm gone. Best regards, Rod

Rem 700 CDL, Stainless, .270 Win, 3-9X Leupold, Fajen Laminated Stock, Bedded action, floated barrel. Shoots even better than it looks.

I have a weakness for rifles with Mannlicher style stocks like this Remington Model Seven from Rem's Custom Shop. It's in .260 Rem. which I think is a near ideal caliber for lightweight hunting rifles. The Talley Lever release scope rings make it fast and easy to switch to open sights.View attachment 1130611 View attachment 1130612 View attachment 1130613

Man after my own heart. I love Mannlicher stocked rifles.

This is about the perfect woods walking/hunting rifle for me.
