What gun/caliber is your GO-TO for hunting 2022

[Gravey]

I typically carry a Ruger M77 Hawkeye in .270 but lost a cousin last year and inherited a Sako .243 from him that I'll hunt with. Shot it last year and it was dialed in but didn't hunt with it. Hopefully I can get it bloody this year.

 

[Lost Lake]

Winchester Featherweight .308 this year. I've many to choose from, but I'm not shooting anything that's not readily available ammo wise. I'll save those. 308 is available.

That Featherweight is a fine rifle. I love mine.

 

[Chiflyguy]

CVA Accura .50 muzzleloader
Bought a Savage Axis II in .308 but haven't had a chance to sight it in yet.
For thick stuff, Mossberg 500 20 gauge, open sights and Accutip slugs

Gonna hunt with my Bergera 6.5 just put a silencer on it. After my right shoulder replacement doc wanted me to shoot left handed. Not for me. Goin reduced recoil,".

700 LSS Mountain rifle in 7-08

 

[JCDEERMAN]

Marlin 336c .35 with 200 gr shell most of the time. If I'm in an area to reach out, Savage .308

 

[rem270]

TC Encore .270 is my go to rifle.

But it's hard to beat my Marlin 30-30 as well.

Just bought a dream gun of mine. I'll be using a TC Seneca .45 roundball. I've never killed one with a round ball.

They are very good bullets.

I am gonna try some hammer bullets this year. Very interested to see how they do.

I shoot 300gr Hammers in one of my 40cal sml's at 3000fps. They are the real deal. Shoulder shot a buck a couple years ago around 200yds. It destroyed both shoulders and blew the sternum out the front. At high velocity they work like a partition. The front end explodes and the rear 2/3 keep on going

That Featherweight is a fine rifle. I l

ove mine.

Its a special rifle to me. Im assuming an 80's model.

 

[recurve60#]

Well I didnt mean to insert pics in your post. Here we go.

 

[tpgarrett21]

well.... I got a bunch to choose from. so any could be my go to if I grabbed it, most likely a savage or tikka 308, or 270. if it's thick maybe my CZ 527 7.62x39.... if I'm feeling nostalgic my Remington 700 BDL DM. in 270, my dad got me at 8 years old... but probably won't matter cause so many of these peckerwoods up here like to use a 22 mag and spotlight year round

 

[gobblesandgrunts]

Hoyt RX5 what I'll be taking, if I get to feeling frisky ill pull out my model 700 7mm mag. Leopold vari-x iic 3x9x50

 

[huvrman]

REM 742 Woodsmaster in 30-06. Began as my brothers gun in the 70s. I inherited it in the early 80s. Been shooting it ever since.

 

[double browtine]

I'll either take my ole trusty Ruger M77 .308 with the mannlicher stock if the weather is nice, or if it's foggy or raining, I'll take my Ruger M77 mark II all weather in .270 Winchester

I most enjoy hunting dense woods & thickets, where my trusty Marlin 336 30-30 is hard to beat. When I do hunt open fields, I most often take my Rem 788 .243. Both are a joy to shoot. However, I'm strongly considering packing my wife's Grandpa's old Win 94 30-30. I've had it almost 30 years, it's so old it's not even tapped for a scope, & I've never hunted with it. Grandpa & Grandma raised 16 kids in little towns along the Oregon Trail & Grandpa used that old 30-30 to hunt mule deer & antelope to feed his family. I'd like to see if the old girl has another couple deer in her.

 

[timberghost35]

Tikka 7mag in wood/stainless barrel. Leupold 4x12x44…

 

[DoubleRidge]

Hunted with 50 cal CVA Accura well into gun season last year....but when I carry the gun it's no doubt 700BDL 30-06.

 

[Rancocas]

Well, I've probably taken more deer with my old Marlin 336C in .30/30 than any of my other rifles. I also took one black bear with it. My Remington 700 in .30/06 has also accounted for some deer, pronghorn, and caribou.

However, for the last 25 years or so I have been almost exclusively a traditional muzzleloaders. My main rifle is a .50 percussion long rifle with a 42 inch octagon barrel. I made it myself. Sometimes I use a flintlock of the same caliber.
