Fellow hunters, what are your favorite firearms for hunting?

You say firearms, but list a bunch of calibers. BLASPHEMOUS!

Unfortunately I’m still working on expanding my arsenal, so my list would probably look like;

Deer: AR15

Bear: Forest fire

Hog: AR15

Turkey: Run away

Small game: Throw a rock at it

Source(s): Haha Jake owns a 7

For small game, when 22 LR is adequate, a Winchester Model 63.

For larger vermin, a Remington 7 BDL in 6mm Remington.

For deer and hogs, either a Winchester 71 (348 Win) or a Remington 7 Mtn in 7×57.

For game a little larger, a Sauer 202 in 8×68 S.

For critters a little larger still, a CZ 550 in 9.3×62.

For most birds, an LC Smith 12 bore SxS.

In my state, it’s now illegal to hunt turkeys with a rifle, but in the old days here, or where it’s legal, a drilling in 12-12-8x57JR.

Deer? Only ever used my 770 (.270 win) but I would love to take out the old Marlin 30-30 and take use that.

Bear? Haven’t gotten lucky enough to get my black bear tag yet, if I do I will probably use the Rem 770 though.

Hog? 12 gauge with slugs, but would love to use the 30-30…

Turkey? Going to try with a bow this year.

Small Game? Remington 597 VTR (.22lr)

Source(s): Darn, I am late to the Edit party…

Yes, I own a 770. But it wasn’t my choice. It was a “Gift” from my Dad. I do know however, that he only gave it to me so he could buy a new rifle…

Edit: Enough with the TD… Mike and Frank were joking (I think…)

Deer – .223 (Scotland only) .308

Fox – .223

Rabbit – .22LR
