Didn’t know we could do that on the site. I have a Remington 7mm Magnum in pristine condition that I’ve owned since new in the 80’s. My elk/antelope hunting rifle from my Colorado decade. Thinking of selling it. I actually still have the receipt of purchase. I’m going to fast forward my noodling. Tough decision - but my hunting days are likely over.

In CA it’s mostly people hunting.

Lol, can u buy an Ar-15 in Ca.??? I know, the old upper body just can’t handle it anymore. Have the same problem!

I really like my .270 Winchester 70 XTR,
I bought when living in Alaska in the mid 80's

I’d rather something bigger for grizzlies. Nice round though.

it did 'all I ever needed & wanted'
accurate as **** too
good range too

just need to have a smaller aim point
1 shot 1 kill, make it count

I always had a backup .44 mag in my vest too
just in case
everyone that lives up there do/did

My favorite is my 45-70 with either 350 or 405 grain cast lead. But my Swiss K31 is damn close. It is a sweet shooter. Both will kill anything and the Swiss can do it from farther away

Excellent rifle. The .270 doesnt always get the recognition the trendy rounds get. It's in my top 5.

Can't hunt with rifles in Illinois with exception of single-barrel muzzleloaders of at least .45 cal. You can apply for concealed carry permit now though. Something I thought we would never see here.

For MD hunting I got a 45-70 Henry and a 350 Ledgend Savage bolt action.

can’t use the 8mm Mauser around here hunting, straight wall cartridge only

If one is a very accurate shot and has an accurate rifle why would people need magnums in North America? Weatherby’s nephew was on a flight with my brother many years ago. Uncle offered all his nephews rifles. Anyway this nephew shot a trophy moose with a Remington BDL 30-06.

Roy Weatherby was a gifted man.

Also I think I read that the Winchester 94 30-30 shot the most game in North America up until possibly 1990.
Still have Dad’s 38-55 and his 1939 94 30-30. Go out with my friend, if didn’t get successful or onto longer range I switched to the 88 243 or .308.
If he can’t hit a bottle cap at 75 yards consistently that rifle is gone. He is a little more lenient with big bore rifles.

Honestly - I’m not sure. I think you can but they are now in the midst of making it illegal to own some of the normal integral parts to the AR-15. They’re trying to render them as useless as possible.

Y'all may laugh but I've a rifle from 1941 that
has been about the best weapon I've ever owned.
I have several rifles in different calibers, along
with three different gauges of shotguns. (I love
bird hunting).
A Sportmaster .22 cal tube fed for shorts, longs,
and long rifle. Remington built a quality weapon
in those days. Evident, as it's still in perfect
condition.

Where are you located?

I'm interested but too far away. My dad had one of the most beautiful 7mm mags I've ever seen, loved that gun but he's gone and so is the gun and never been able to find one that looked as good as his did.

Brush gun, new houses going up on my hunting land. Can't use the 300 win mag anymore.
Looking for a lever action 32 special. 30/30 Savage Winchester Marlin. Consider a capable revolver also.

Keep in mind as you look for a rifle think availability of ammo in your area too. Around here there is zero 32 special and believe it or not very little 30-30! A Brush gun, close range the Ruger 44 mag carbine is fantastic for that. That ammo I can find! Not tons but enough. Good luck!

That's exactly what I am retiring in the 300 win mag. I bought new back in the 70's. I put a 4 power Lupold on it back then with a dot in the middle no cross hairs. Shot it in back then and never had to ever shoot it in again.

People will ask you what gun you use........but they never seem ask what scope do you have on your gun.
