There seem to be quite a bit of nostalgia coming through in this thread (and fair enough) but my favorite rifle is definitely my current one. A dirty old Tikka T3 308. I like to think I have kept "trading up" as time has gone on. I do have fond memories of my Miroku .308win because of shooting my first deer with it, and my left handed Ruger .270win, my first left hand bolt, but the T3 does everything better. Reliable, accurate, weatherproof (Gunkote stainless) and handles really well with it's 16"bbl and suppressor. What's not to like.
I haven't owned a lot of centrefires over the years (.243win x 2, 308win x 2, .270win, 223rem, 300wm and 7mmRM. All the garden variety chamberings) but I have found the 308win does all I need it to do and more without fuss. I took it to the range this morning to check zero after putting a Greystone rail on and the results speak for themselves.
