    Everyone has thier opinion on what makes the perfect hunting weapon. for me it has to be light, easy to carry, accurate enough to kill at desired ranges, powerful enough, and wear good good glass. Holding up fairly well to the elements and looking good while doing it are nice as well. So here's my perfect hunting rifle. From stalking in the thickest cover to walking mountain ranges. Accurate enough for shots up to 400 yrds and light enough to forget you are carrying it on a 5 mile hike. Matched up with a burris FF2 3x9 shes feather light. Now for you bigger guys this thing would feel tiny but I'm only 5'7" so she feels nice in my hands, The Ruger compact in .308 stainless laminate with a 16" barrel.

    Beautiful Rifle. One of my stainless 10/22's has an international stock with that exact laminate pattern and color.

    I use a Ruger M77 MKII .243 with a Leupold VX II

    Not the nicest looking thing in the closest, but it's one of the best damn guns that I own.

    I have a browning a-bolt in .257 roberts that my Dad gave to me when I was 12 yrs. old. I still to this day use it to hunt deer, and I love that rifle.
