What are your favorite. You dont have to anwser all but please do.

Answer 1

With the exceptions of (fox, coyote, wolf, black,brown and grizzly bear), Because I only shoot at  animals that I eat. I use only one rifle to hunt with. It's a Remington 700 PSS in 308. I have yet to come across any animal I could not take down with it. This is by no means a stock rifle, I have made several up grades to it. Spent a lot of time at the range with it. Everyone is going to have their favorites and there are a lot of calibers out there to choose from. The 308 has always worked for me.
