Show 'em off! Just getting ideas for a custom rig. Do you have a custom hunter or sporting a real/old "workhorse"? I have a couple of workhorse shotguns, but no rifles that have been worked to hell (I'm meticulous when it comes to my rifles)...
 
Re: Show your hunting rigs!

Don't have a pic but I use a late 40's early 50's era FN comercial Mauser chambered in .30-06. Rifle is perfect balance and feel besides off the bench (horn butt pad).

its smooth, and quick to get on target... its a Vanguard pistol grip (ball head) i compared it side by side to the manfrotto, both about the same price, but the Vanguard seemed to fit my app. better.

Re: Show your hunting rigs!

My go to hunting rig with 3 barrels is now the Carbon Blaser R93. Calibers include 25.5" barrels in 6.5x284 (130 grain Swift Sirocco II), 300 WSM (180 Swift Sirocco II or Nosler AB)and 9.3x64 (286 gr North Fork softs).

Been used on several continents with great sucess on game and varmints from prairie dogs to sable and eland.

Each of them has a S&B 3-12x42 on them with the Holland ART reticles. I carry the NF 2.5-10x32 pictured with me as a back up scope when traveling. All pre-zeroed for the caliber and ready to go.

It is nice to travel on the airlines with a take down rifle.

Beautiful!

I bought a CDL SF over winter in .308. It is now my official dedicated deer rifle. I am going to be mounting either a 4.5-14x50 Zeiss or Leupy on it once funds allow. I love it and I still haven't even go to shoot her!

.280 AI, Rem 700, 25" Shilen Select Match, pillar/skim bedded in a B&C, trigger tuned, Zeiss Conquest.

Its very accurate and is 6/6 on game. Its killed whitetail, coyotes, and armadillo so far. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take some hogs and antelope with it in the next few years.

Re: Show your hunting rigs!

Here is my favorite hunting rig; 336 cut down to 16" with an XS Scout Mount and a Swift 1.25-4:
imag0102x.jpg

It may not be the coolest rig out there, but in the woods I hunt a 100 yard shot is long range, and it gets the job done every year.
 
Re: Show your hunting rigs!

Chopperguy, I love ya man, but that Harris on a Blaser is like wagon wheels on a Ferrari. Throw that sheet metal bi-pod in the garbage, dude.

How is this scope working out for you in the woods. I have been considering the same one but have not ordered it yet. how is the focus throughout the magnification range?

Re: Show your hunting rigs!

Here's my old trusty rusty 22-250 built off of a FN mauser action. This thing has put some fur in the dirt over the years.

And my three favorite killers all together. Top gun is a 7.62x39 suppressed upper with NV, middle upper is an M4 with a Halo Can and the bottom is my Integral Camp 45.

Oh yeah, my little raffle gun stevens 22-250 took this gray at 138yds, so used to the heavy suppressed stuff that this thing feels like a pellet gun!
