My bargain M77 220 Swift with Meopta 3-12x50 and Atec H2. Aluminium pillar/epoxy bedded stock. Bit of a heffalump but it's my favourite deer rifle. Lovely smooth action. It's waiting for a 1:9 stainless barrel in 220 Ackley improved.

260Rem has taken a lot of deer for me before I sold it to my uncle. Then he sold it back to me in his final stages of cancer. He threw in a couple of other guns with it also. I had just enough time to order a scope and sight it in and take it back to the field with me and take this buck opening morning in some very thick fog. He had a big body.

Some nice guns here! I believe there was a run of 10/22s that made it to NZ with sub par barrels, which understandably put a lot of people off(my uncle included, his one he bought new grouped about 10” at 50m!) but thankfully, touch wood, I haven’t come across one of those yet.
There are definitely lighter, more accurate and better looking rifles out there, but there’s just something about Rugers that keeps me coming back
Love my wee American 223
Really miss my mini 30 in 7.62x39 and Deerfield in .44 mag,only have a 10/22 these days
Miss my mini 14 and 30

Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
Ruger 7.62x39, homemade paint job, Sytong thermal and magnum suppressor. Quiet enough and wallabies hate it

I know it is a Browning, but it is chambered in .375 Ruger !
