Thread: Your go to rifle

Bergara BA-13 in 300BLK. I like short rifles. How I ended up with that cartridge choice is a long story, but it suits my needs and environment which is goat hunting in the bush. If I was made to only own one rifle, it would be the same in .308.

Went to range yesterday. Stock tikkas and vx3s
6.5 x 55 and 25-06. Shooting like a Tikka and hadn't moved zero at all.

The licence has finally arrived - hope I can add a photo soon! In the meantime, loving the threads!

It doesn't look like I have the privilege of DM's yet - just comes up saying that the Admin needs to approve me! Defo keen to connect once I have earned the rights!

It that blood or rust on the trigger gaurd?

Greetings,
My most used rifle currently is a Remington VSSF in .223. It is used for 300 yard F class shooting. The 12 inch twist limits me to the lighter projectiles but still shoots well with a 4.5to 14 scope.
GPM.

A toss up between my 308 Ruger scout or my Howa 3006, leaning towards the Howa even though the laminate stock makes it very heavy. The hinged floor plates just nicer to carry than a mag that hangs down.

There is only1 300 saum 175 federal TA

Marlin BA 223. I've since fitted a Leupold 3-9×40 and given a bit of a paint job. I think that was my first fox with the 223.
Just amazing value and shoots waaayy better than I can.

223 Savage lightweight. Hardy 1:8 barrel. Timney trigger. Light, reliable & shoots consistently.

Great rifle and very under rated. I've got a VSSF in 22-250, shoots like a laser.

Very nice riffle, I see the 223 is a common choice for favourite riffle.
