My rifle preference varies with what I am shooting. If I am at the range just messing around or in the back 40 shooting rocks its gonna be one of my family winchesters- either the 1873 44-40 from 1892 or the 1892 30-20 form 1898. They are both a hoot to shoot.
Now if we are talking hogs--it will be the Al Biesen Model 70 in 270 or if I am feeling downright mean my 1886 in Turnbull 475.
Coyotes-M70 in 220 swift
Deer- that Biesen 270 or my grandfathers 257 Roberts or Model 71 in 348
Shooting a gong at 1 mile at my friend's private range- Colt M2012 in 6.5 creedmoor
If you told me only one......there would be a lot of nashing of teeth....but it would be either the Model 71 or the Biesen 270.....I literally can't make that choice.
