The first that comes to mind is a Kimber 89BGR Super Grade in 280 REM I literally killed two pickup loads of deer with that rifle shooting handloaded Nosler 140 BT’s , anyone that shot skeet in VA or specifically around FAirfax R&G may have known the owner I got it from A.J. Beard he made a decent name for himself once upon a time in the NSSA shooting circles . The second that comes to mind is a circa 1960 Winchester Model 70 Standard in 264 Win Mag I killed a pile of deer with that one using Nosler 120 BT’s actually that bullets to light for the cartridge if you run them wide open as I skipped the bullet down the ribs of a small buck once and when he turned I drilled him a second time enough said . The third would have to be a circa 1897 Marlin 1895 in 38-56 and the fourth another Marlin but an 1893 in 32-40 . The first Ruger #1V in 220 Swift was nice and had awesome figure in the butt I’d like that back . A circa 1938 Winchester Model 70 in 22 Hornet I’d kinda like back . And a Sako L46 23” Mannlicher stocked 222 I’d like back . I’ve had a veritable mountain of rifles go thru my hands and of course many were preferred over others . The Ruger 77R NIB with the dog leg bolt chambered for 6.5 REM Mag would be nice to have back . But this could go on and on .
