Chanonry Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 470 Nitro Express The 12" flame .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 All of them. You learn something about shooting with very different rifle or calibre experienced, whether it's technique, ballistics, or adapting different stock designs to customise fit and weld.

gbal Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 470 Nitro Express The 12" flame .... ....cooks the game. Both barrels ,of course,and that's £30+,Perhaps an acquired taste,but " I get no kick from champagne...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treetop Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 6.5 creedmoor makes life easy, But my 17 Hornet challenges me in wind & especially with NV at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 6.5x47 for the accuracy and 7mm Rem Mag for its ability to bowl big red things over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rem700 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 6mmbr and 222 both accurate and low recoil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumbag Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Really enjoy shooting my 257 Roberts. A rifle built for me in a cartridge I like. Hits well on deer, is accurate and can watch the bug holes appear on a shoot-n-c! Scrummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 6.5 Creedmoor - Makes me smile with it silky smoothness and accuracy. Sexy little case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilM Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 6.5 Creedmoor for me. After a decade of .308 it's a great little upgrade for my regular 1000yd+ shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillair1 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 .17 fireball , followed by .223, leastwise fun .22lr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I love .308, enough power to feel like a real gun but comfortable enough to shoot all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I like my 6.5x47, accurate, couple of 22rf's which work just fine and a 7.5x55 Swiss which shows what an old military rifle can be like. But for just straight fun with an all round grins from everyone who's shot mine it is hard to beat any BPCR, not just in shooting the buggers but in all stages, from reloading to firing and getting them to work. So 45-2.1, 40-65, 45-90 etc. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Enjoyed shooting my US mate's BPCR for the novelty value (unlike the light .300Wby..) but at home it's 6.5x47 and 6BR for sheer accuracy, and the .280AI for tipping bambis over.
