How about posting pictures of your favorite rig, Stock/custom big game, varmint, target, what ever... NO Tikka's please. :)

Right now this is my favorite.

Pre-64 M70 action, bubba-ed into a post 64 Featherweight stock, and bubba-ed post 64 bottom mettal. Its got a 24" Shilen bbl, chambered in 338-06 AI. Right now I'm running 200gr Accubonds with a heavy dose of H4350. I swapped out the scope mounts for Leupy QD's after the picture was taken. Its topped with a VX1 3-9x40. I wish it was about half a pound lighter, but its not to cumbersom.

Can't decide if its going to Africa this spring or if I'll take my 280...

Here is mine. I just got this a couple of weeks ago. Its a Remington Model 700 Alaskan Ti in 25-06. Has Leupold dual dovetail bases, and a Leupold VX III 3.5-10-40 scope on it. Really likes Federal factory ammo in 100 grain TSX.
Also shoots better than me most days!
I hope to use it this year on a Wyoming antelope!!


Ok, so I'm not smart enough to included a picture but if you could see it its pretty cool!!

A close runner up is the Browning Ti (270 WSM) I just bought my wife. Topped it with a Leupold VXIII 4-14x40 with a BC reticle. It is a light weight dream!

Kirt,
How much clearance you got from the bottom of the scope and the rifle barrel, looks like it is touching?? Nice setup though.

It's about an 1/8 of an inch gap (pics doesn't show the gap very well at all). I was worried about it when I mounted it, but hated the high mounts... barely escaped with mediums.

IVAN...I GUESS THAT WOODSTOCKED PRE-64 IS OK, BUT YOU OUGHT TO PUT IT ON E-BAY.....THEN GET A TIKKA T-3 & GET HAPPY. HE-HE......HAPPY HUNTING.....YD.

My favorite rifle made for me a long time ago by a Master Gunsmith over in Okinawa back in the late 60's. A Belguim Mauser in 7x57mm and extensive engraving and a beautifly piece of AAA Walnut.
I retired it back in the early 90's, but just might ake it out one of these years for another hunt.

This used to be my favorite rifle. She's the first and LAST rifle I've ever sold (financial difficulty):

Ruger M77 MKII chambered for 300 WSM...I miss her

No complaints! I really, really like the ballistic plex reticle.

Here is my old favorite. A Mod 70 Classic SS in Ottersix. She plain loves 180gr Hornadys over lots of R22.

Here on the other hand, is my new favorite. A Stainless Mountain in .243. I can't get over how much lighter it is than the old mod 70, and it is by no means heavy. The truth be known, I picked this one up for hunting coyote. The mod 70 is still my #1 deer rifle.
