    No Browning fans? I don't own one, but they do make pretty rifles....

    I agree that Weatherby MK V in .300 WB is a great rifle, or at least mine is....

    My choice of "favorite" bolt action changes from time to time.... there are so many choices...

    Howa makes some pretty decent rifles too.....

    If you rephrase the question to "What bolt gun series do you get the most pleasure from":

    Ruger 77 series.

    All 5 of them I shoot suppressed pretty much 100% of the time.

    77/17 small game-getter. Sub MOA and boringly accurate with an overkill 3.5x15 NSX Nightforce.
    77/22 A go-to rifle if I had too pick only one for the next 1,000 days. With my Sparrow.
    77/22mag Probably most deadly. Fixed Swarovski 6x is laser accurate.
    77/357 So much fun suppressed with cheap .38spl through a Crux 9mm can. Sounds like a hand-clap.
    77/44 Most recent acquisition. Shooting 44spl through my AAC 45 Ti-Rant? Just got it threaded.

    OK, but it seems that creation of tangent sidebars is more apropos for providing helpful information without the need to create similar threads?

    Thanks.

    Feel free to start your own thread under the premise of what you want to gather knowledge of.

    The thread title is what I wanted to gather knowledge of for my own purposes.

    I like the older 700 Remingtons. This one, in 7mm Magnum, has been tuned and rebedded. A Williams steel triggerguard and floorplate has been fitted. Great rifle.

    I have my dad's left handed 700 in 30-06. Neither of my boys is left handed so it will sit until grandkids come along I guess.

    I'm left handed, right eye dominant.
    Shoot pistols left handed, and rifles right handed.

    I've always shot handgun's right handed,but over the years I trained myself to shoot them left handed just as well. I can also shoot long guns right handed just as well as I do left handed,but I prefer to shoot them left handed.
    It just takes a little practice to do it.
