I don't have a boat or aircraft but I do have favorite models of each.

Do tell....

Not to hijack the thread too much, but I like fast boats, bass boats, cruisers, sailboats, and race boats; in ea of those categories I have my fav make/model.

Don't know much about airplanes, but general aviation I like the old Piper Cherokee 4 seater with it's stubby wings. Oh, and the Pilatus PC12 that we used for medevac at Air Life of Oregon.

one of my favorites is the 7mm-08very accurate very easy to work up loads for and recoildoesn't punish you in long range sessions

Totally agree. I don’t own anything in that cartridge, but I have done a lot of loading for it. It’s my best friend’s all time favorite rifle cartridge & he’s taken quite a few deer & hogs with his over the years.


I have a Ruger 77 in my safe that would be a perfect candidate for the 7mm-08.


There, now the thread is back on track.

30-06 used to be my favorite hunting round but since I am no longer mad at the four legged animals, I like .223/5.56.

Right now 45-70 for Hogs at about 100 yards. They do not get up. GREAT sound effects too.

Other than price, it's the perfect round.

Great choice, if you never need it.

Everyone needs some .30 super carry in their life

Thats fine, just give me my .30 sc subforum and we'll agree to disagree

Same with the 458 SOCOM. It's a hog's worst nightmare under 200 yards.

Actually, I’m surprised that none of the major manufacturers have come up with a PCC chambered in it by now.

It's DOA. But we can bring it back. We have the technology, we just need a subforum...

I once almost bought a Beretta rifle in 30-06. Haven’t seen one in ages but Beretta wanted to get into the synthetic stock deer rifle game.

I fondled that rifle for quite a while. Shouldered it a few times, but walked away without it. Just felt like I’d be cheating on my 70’s era Rem 700 30-06. It’s my favorite.

But over the years I’ve had a few that I shot a lot more than the 700.

458 SOCOM, my 6.5CM, and a couple others over the decades have been shot much more, and with great enjoyment.

But when it’s time for a deer to go into the freezer, the 30-06 is my go-to.

Like blondes brunettes and redheads-
I am reducing a 55 year collection down to a few basics, My favorite match cartridge is the Swedish 6.5x55, favorite hunting Texas deer .270 Win Mountain states mule deer/elk is 7Rem Mag.
Now I am going to 308 for all hunting and 7.62x51 for home defense. and an AR with 5.56 and 300 BO uppers with a 22 rifle for the kiddos so 4 rifles.

Be careful of mixing ammo. I use black mags for 556 and FDE mags for 300BO.

That's what the blue tape is for.

Important safety tip! I use Microtech amber mags for 300 BO and a variety of dark mags for 5.56
also want some of those rubber band logo things for ID in the dark. None at Ft Worth show last month.
