remington model 700 stainless with nikon prostaff scope with remington core lokt.... first 3 shots with it were through the same hole at 100. Extremely good shooting gun for a reasonable price... it must be a good choice if thats with the boys in iraq are carrying.. well modified of course

My new Thompson Center Icon, Weathershield Cammo in 30TC caliber with A 3x9x50 Nikon. It is one fine shooting gun. Lots of PUNCH with mild recoil.

2. Shilen stainless steel match grade barrel.
3. H&S Precision PST025 Pro Series 2000 tactical stock. Extra swivel stud, Vertical Grip adjust LOP, Adjustable butt plate.
4. Harris Bi-pod 6”-9”
5. Jewel Trigger Remington 700. Adjustable from 1 ½ oz to 4 lb pull. Currently set at ¾ of lb.
6. Burris Xtreme Tactical 2 piece base
7. 34 mm scope rings estimated price
8. Schmidt & Bender PM II LP 5-25 X 56 scope.

This one! My father worked on this rifle for over 5 years and used to see me gawk over it. All along he was teasing me because he was going to give it to me anyway and on my 16th birthday he did.

He passed away in 2003. We buried him 5 years ago yesterday. Every animal I take with this gun is dedicated to him and I look to the sky and thank him because if it were not for him I would not be such an avid outdoorsman and rifleman.

Thanks Dad!

2x10 Simmons Whitetail Classic(nothin special) but haven't missed yet in 14 years no need for a new one.
Shoots Fed Premium 140gr TSX @ 3/4 in MOA
Even the safety has been worked on and is light and smooth!
Not bad for factory ammo in a DEER rifle!

For big game I love my Remington model 700 .270, I just don't know that any other gun would feel as good.

For small game I love to shoot my Remington 66 .22 that I got for Christmas when I was 11. There's not many of them around and it's a little unique as the stock is nylon and the rounds are fed into a tube in the butt of the rifle. It's light and a lot of fun to shoot.

Remington model 760 Gamemaster chambered in .270 winchester. Trigger breaks clean at a whopping 2 pounds. Topped her with a 3x9 Bushnell scope. I know what some of you are thinking, weak $100 scope. Yeah, it is. But it suits me just fine. I can put 5 shots in a 1 inch group at 200 yards with it. I know the rifle is capable of much better with a better scope, but I cant complain for what it is. Someday I may put a fancy $500 scope on it. Maybe, just maybe. But for now i'd rather spend that money on fuel and loading supplies as my quest for the monster buck i spotted a couple years ago continues. I know he's still there, friends have seen him as recently as last month. I'll put him on the wall someday, or i'll die trying. He's a huge non-typical that i'm sure will score well over 300. I'm rambling... I know, but he's haunted my dreams since the first day i saw him.
Keep hiking until you dont see sign of human life, then hike some more. That my friend, is where the monster lives.

3 guns I love;
1) Remington 600 in 6mm...short, swings great, shoots soo well..pops excedrin bottes at 200 yards
2) Remington 700 mountain rifle in .280...has the better ballistics then the .270 without the shoulder punch of a 7mm
3) Tikka M695 in .338...there isnt ANYTHING I cant bring down with this heavy-hitter

The first year I knew PRO, I let him borrow my Dad's .220 Swift after his .270 had some major scope problems.... :222 lol He was soo pissed about shooting this little tiny bullet and even after hitting the buck in the sweet spot, he had to shoot it again to put it down...I laughed sooo hard...what a memory
