Every forum has to have the "What 3 rifles would you pick for your hunting rifle battery" thread. I'm not sure why its always 3, but for tradition and the sake of brevity, we'll stick to 3. What 3 rifles do you or would you have to do all of your favorite hunting?
I only hunt for rockchucks, coyotes and deer with a rifle, so my needs are fairly simple. But, being a complete rifle nut, I could think of hundreds of combinations!
What I have now:
Tikka T3 Superlite in 223 (this gets more field time than anything I have)
Remington 700 in 7mm Remington Magnum for east side deer hunting
Ruger Hawkeye All-Weather in 30-06 for hunting on the west side
What I would want:
Winchester 1885 Low Wall in 22 Hornet as a general kick around rifle
Winchester M70 Featherweight in 257 Roberts for nicer weather deer hunting
Winchester M70 Featherweight Stainless in 270 Winchester, bedded in a McMillan Edge, for when its nasty out
