Hi there everybody,
Of the guns that you own personally wich is your favourite?
I got the idea of this post in Safari-Hunt's write up on the bushbuck where he mentioned something about "........my trusty old .303 enfield...."
Mine would be one hundred percent my Brno .243 with a S&Bender scope on it.This is my favourite rifle in my bag.It is just one of those that you know if you put in your shoulder the meat is in the freezer.When shooting you feel that the rifle is part of you.Well I don't want to get emotional over a rifle now so let us hear what is your favourites.

Bigfive.

What do you mean do not get emotional

The gun is an extension of your arm without it you cannot survive you cannot hunt for food or defend yourslef. Without it your a helpless little fart with arms flapping around

Anyway enough of that I hope all of you catch the joke !

My favorite rifle is my 375 H&H musgrave M98 it is the exact repicla of the K98 action. Nice dark wood thicker than normal barrel making it a bit more heavier than normal. Very sturdy very accurate very crisp action with a world Class Tasco 4 x 40 on top of it but here is a pic that will show you more detail. Also have a look at the strange horns on the impala almost looks like the first curl on a kudu bull

My favorite is my Winchester Model 70 that I had rechambered to 375 Ackley Improved. It shoots 1"groups, and as long as I do my part, everything goes down for the count.I'm customizing a Ruger 77 in 416 Rigby now, so who knows, my preference may change in the future.

The Winchester model 70 (pre 64) in 375 H&H Mag.
For close up stuff (DG), the 500/465 H&H double.

My favorite rifle (at the moment!) is my Winchester CRF M70 Stainless and Wood. It is a 30-06, and is as close a thing to a magic wand that I have ever owned! Very accurate. A great all around rifle for hunting here in the states.
