What's your goto gun?

For predator hunting what gun seems to grab the most attention when you open the cabinet or safe?

For me it's the 204. My brother has my 22-250 and since getting the 204 I haven't missed it as much.

Cam usally grabs his 20 gauge and a hand full of B-shot. He has mentioned taking the .17 or .22 mag this year since I take the 204, but it takes him a few seconds to locate stuff in the scope and I'm trying to get him more shooting time in to help him there.

Custom Mauser in .257 Ackley Improved.

Either my 22-250 Remington or my ar-15. I've killed more with the Remington. Missed and lost more with the ar-15.

Rich- Beautiful gun. I had a .308 that was dads in a mauser. Smoothest action I have ever held and a tack driver. After my divorce, my nephew ended up with it so I could pay off the lawyers. I miss hunting with that gun.

"If" I take the rifle .222savage topped with 3x9 simmons, but anymore I take the shotgun only with 4 buck.

Rich · September 12, 2007, 05:10:19 PM

Mine don't shoot all that bad either.

Stevens(Savage) 200 in .22-250. Light and accurate. A pleasure to carry and shoot. Also same model in .223.

Remington SP10 10ga w/ #4buck or the 11-87 12ga w/ #4buck, then there's the 45LC Ruger Bisley SS Blackhawk, & of course CDM (Coyote Disaster Master) the Browning A-bolt Composite Stalker in 25WSSM.

bushmaster · September 17, 2007, 03:34:08 AM

It's either the M4 or the .17 for me. I can pull off snap shots with the Bushmaster and take down anything i want with a well placed shot from the .17. I only bring the 12ga if my brother has the rifle. He didn't get the shooting gene.

FOsteology · September 18, 2007, 06:37:05 PM

For the past year or so my "go-to" rifle has been a semi-customized Marlin .444

In Texas, we can hunt feral hogs 24/7 365 any means.... and from Feb. thru Sept. I hunt them on a regular basis. The lever action just shoulders so nice and is fantastic on hogs in the thick brush.

Grouser · October 19, 2007, 06:19:17 AM

Here in east TN it has been the 3" Model 12, and the 22 mag lately, because of the regulations, but when i can it is a Vanguard in 223.
