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.
Very nice collection !

That deluxe 348 is very sporty to say the least
