Your favorite hunting rifle of all time

[John Wasmuth]

98 Mauser in 9,3x62 best rifle ever made. Hands down.

98 Mauser in 9,3x62 best rifle ever made. Hands down.

That one is my actual favorite as well.

 

[Marcos Rodriguez]

9.3x62 is my near future rifle...it might be haha
I am a gunsmith... but here where I live, assembling a weapon is not an easy task! There is a lot of bureaucracy...
So, I'm sure I'll try my best and fight to put it together haha

I think my favorite hunting rifle has to be my K-31 in 7.5x55. It's not expensive, but is a blast of a rifle. If not the K-31 then my Steyr 1890 Gew 88 Commission rifle in 8x57. Honestly though..... it might be my P14 Enfield in 303 British... but... I do like my AR-15 in 6mm ARC....

Who knows, I grab a rifle and enjoy the wilderness, let the mission drive the gear.

I love my K31. Probably the most accurate military rifle made.

My ruger 77 tang safety in 338 win mag .I hunted with it 35 years and have taken over 200 head of big game with it

 

[MS 9x56]

It is so hard to choose just one.

 

[yamoon]

I have never shot a 8x57 before, do you reload for it ?

Yes, I shoot factory ammunition in the Brno.

[Northern Shooter]

CZ 550 Safari Magnum in 375H&H.

It was my first "big" rifle and has proven to be quite the gateway drug into this hobby.

 

[Longfeather1]

A single shot Browning 1885 Highwall in 7mm. Besides chasing local deer with it I've taken it to Canada for caribou, Scotland for red deer, roe deer, and fallow, and Africa for plains game. Except when I've went for buffalo and leopard, it's been the only rifle I hunted with for the last 30 years.

 

[Boxlock]

My favourite hunting rifle is actually a Winchester Model 61 in 22WMR! My next favourite is a Lithgow No1 MKIII* in 303Brit.!, these 2 I have used since 10 years old so am well used to them but its either a Westley Richards, Accelerated Express in 318WR or a Browning, Belgium, BLR in 308Win as my favourite proper hunting rifles....

[dogcat1]

Winchester XTR .280 Rem, first good rifle I had. Very accurate and easy to carry. Took it to Africa the first time and did well with it.

 

[rblum]

My favorite hunting rifle?
For me, my Weatherby Vanguard II in .308 Win is my hands-down favorite hunting rifle. It is light, very accurate, easy to handload ammunition, and with a plastic stock that I don’t have to worry about. The recoil is light, and it is good for most game that I hunt In USA. It will never win a beauty contest, but for me a real beaut.

[Warbeast]

Hm,
Thats a tough one.
Had some amazing old rifles and really liked thoose: 105yr old Collat Drilling, 1915 Hammer Drilling, 1908 Mauser 98 civil Stutzen..
And new rifles like TC Encore or R700s, Krieghoff Classic

Somehow single Shot Break actions are my thing.

If i had to pick one: Krieghoff Hubertus

K95s are sweet but the feel is a bit to modern and souless.
