I’ve not done much long range but hoping this new rifle opens up a whole new world I have a Remington 700 bdl in 300 but its getting retired lol. Hoping the factory muzzle brake on the browning takes it down some. Defiantly won’t be shooting it without hearing protection.

If for whatever reason you don’t want it I’ll take it!!
Haha! Get on gun broker man they have some amazing deals if it wasn’t for dealing with shipping I’d have bought off there. This is the first carbon fiber rifle I’ve seen in person and instantly had to have it.

Ear plugs and muffs, they are loud! Muzzle brakes are great to reduce recoil but that’s it lol.

If you're in Russia, then I'd choose the semi auto SVT 40 in 54r with 10 round magazine. Make bambiburger.....DA!

Lever actions are what I really enjoy to hunt with.
For deer hunting in Michigan woods I use a Marlin 336 chambered in. 35 Remington with a Nikon 2-7 mounted to a AR-15 carry handle mount I machined to use as a see through,

The wife carried her Ruger Scout rifle in 450 Bushmaster with a Nikon 2-7 this year but usually will carry a Winchester 94 top eject in 30-30 with Marbles peep sights,

Our daughter takes along a Savage Axis Muddy Girl in. 243 with a Leupold VX-1 3-9,

Our son carried a Winchester 94 top eject in 30-30 with tang sights,

And our daughter in law carried a Ruger 77/44 in .44 mag. with a Leupold 2-7,

Then for small game hunting I prefer a Marlin 783 in .22 mag. or a Ruger Bearcat in .22.

The wife and myself both shoot Ravin R10s for archery season and just plain ole having fun,

Our daughter shoots for the Hartland Archery Team after school with a Gensis NASP bow and totes along a Mattews for hunting season.

Our son has a Wicked Ridge RDX.

Depending on location, game or circumstances all of those choices can and do change, these are just our go to choices.

Oh yeah for long distance paper my RPR in
6.5 Creedmore with a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22.

Thank you kind sir, we do have our favorites but every now and again we reach into one of the cabinets and grab something different just because.
The coolest thing for us is that we have grandpas Marlin 336 in .35 Rem that was built in 1952 and is pretty much identical to mine,
and my wife has her father's Featherweight Husquvarna bolt gun in 30-06 built in we believe 1959. Very nice looking weapons, it is nice to hold them and think about what they have seen and where they have been.

I have my granddaddy’s savage 110 in 7mm-08 I’d love to have seen all its seen it’s took more deer down than I’ll probably every kill in my lifetime best rifle in the cabinet far as I’m concerned but it’s a safe queen for the most part.

I am still trying to figure out the quote thing, sorry.
I for certain understand the not wanting to have anything happen to our new to us treasures.
The wife and I take them out to our range here at home once a year send a few rounds downrange them clean say a word of humble thanks and toast the ones we love and lost.
Some of us have treasures well beyond money.

Yep same here pawpaw is still living but he doesn’t hunt anymore so he passed it on and I plan to pass it on someday as well.
