The Remington stocks are noted for causing pain. I shoot a lot of large guns and a Remington in 30-06 hurt me more than my .470 NE. Put a B&C stock on it and it is mild and pleasent......Tom

Already changed the stock to a Boyd's with a R3 recoil pad installed. The factory walnut stock had no recoil pad, just the plactic cap deal. THe new stock with the recoil pad helped some, but the gun is just so light it stings and recoils fast as hell.

300 WIN. Mag.

1 more thing...

When my stok making and finishing skills develop more I will take a nice piece of wood, glass bed it, add some lead and balance the rifle as I think it should be. Then possibly rebarrel it and free float the barrel. Should make for a bad little mountain gun. I just hate to change anything on it right now, it shoot so good and its lightweight is really a blessing when hunting the grand canyons of West Virginia.

This coming year I will behunting North Carolina so a change will probably be needed. My stock barrel is not free floated and im afraid of the humidity spike will give me a change of impact.

Right now, my 7mm-08.

Tomorrow's favorite is anybody's guess.

If I had to keep only one rifle it would be my .338win mag, but my favorite is my 7x57 mm. custom mauser.

338WM

243 Winchester (varmints) and 300 Weatherby (everything else)

My favourite cartridge is the Remington 222 but to answer the question, my favourite medium bore calibre is the 7mm, my favourite 7mm cartridge is the grand old 7x57 Mauser.

9.3x62

Mine is my 7 MM STW. Until i acquired this gun I had only shot a 270 Win. I have several other calibers now as well, but my go to gun is the 7 MM STW.

30-06, I have 6 of them.

The 7mm08 has killed a lot of deer for me in the past 30 years and I never had to shoot one twice. I sent it to Greg Tannel in Colorado to rebarrel and do a little more custom work to it and now it is on its way back home. I am getting excited.

I said that I couldn't choose but here it goes...

I have two 30's
.308 and 30-06

I have two sevens
7-08 and 7 Rem Mag

I have two .270's
.270 Win and .270 WSM

Just one 6mm.....243 Win

of the seven it is a seven.....the 7-08!

.300 Weatherby

I just wish I would have bought it 40 yrs ago

In the medium caliber range, I have a special fondness for my 30-06. Got to love its versatility.

I have my all around favorite caliber which is my 22 Mag, cheap to shoot and fun to shoot. But I think once the 500 AR is finished and out in the world it will become my baby...

Boy that's a tough one, but to my mind the 375 H&H is king with the 358 Win and 9.3x62 following close behind.

That's easy. It's the 375H&Hx7x65R12ga5.56mm450Bushmaster300H&H. It is my favorite wildcat and I use it for everything.

7mm-08 hands down with big brother 358 win coming in 2nd

308 followed closely by .223 and .300WM

Any and all calibers (in a non-belted maggie case) between 6.5mm and .411 for deer on up and the 22-250 for predator calling..

Oh and we can't forget the 45-70 for deer at close range eh?

The 8mm-06. The perfect match between case capasity and bullet diameter. 200 grs bullet with SD of .275 going 2800 fps out of a 24" tube. Gotta love it.

6.8 or 270 or .277, what ever you call it, the old 270 Win is the one for me. Got lots of others--but you asked for the favorite so that's her!

For a medium bore caliber, my favorite would have to be my 30-06 as it is the only medium bore caliber that I have.

300 win mag.

Remington's two "cinderella" cartridges the 280 Remington and the 6mm Remington are my personal favourites here in Great Britain.

My favorite medium bore is the .375 Holland. It is also my favorite sporting cartridge.

Me too! I love trusty guns with the right feel. I'm above caliber concerns

9.3x74 R,old slow, powerfull caliber,knocking any game on this planet,

Hello guys,
I don't have very large experience, but in the last 15 years I had the opportunity to try many different calibers. Now I have five rifle and every year, before hunting season begins I ask to myself what rifle I would use... But since I have my Reminton 700 BDL cal 30'06 the answe is even the same: I'll use the good old '30!!
My second option is the 7mm Rem Mag.

Faina

I'm with Tapper on the stock.I have owned several 308's in Winchester,Remington and Savage and will attest to a good synthetic stock like Bell&Carlson or McMillan reducing recoil.
My favorite is the 300H&H.

Today it would be my .338-06AI; next year. . . . . . . no way to know.

Since this is for rifles smaller than 375, then my favorites are my 35 Whelen with a 26 inch barrel on a Ruger Model 77 action, and my Weatherby Mark V Deluxe in 300 Weatherby Mag.

For all the years I have carried it, with the help of four good horses; it must my 7mm Mag Remington 7oo.

That's easy - 303 Brit! I now have a safe full of them in various states of decay. The 7x75 would have been a close runner up but Lee Enfields weren't chambered for it. Besides, 'three-oh-three' rhymes!

I have 2 absolute favourite.....which are 25-06 and 9.3x62. With these 2 rifles I can handle almost any game.

270 Win and 35 Whelen. Near or far, big or small, those two will kill them all!

Hugh

My M70 Classic in .300 H&H.

Gidday Guys

My favorite calibre is the 260 Rem followed by 30-06.

My favorite rifle that I have owned is a Sako forrester in 243. I wish I still had the rifle and would rebarrel to 260.

Happy Hunting
