For straight out close range bush stuff my Rossi 357 carbine would be my go to. If it was for big animals and the potential to go a little further out I reckon my lee speed 303 clone will be my pick up.

Walk this morning behind house. Still factory length.

I can't play, but I'd love a Bergara single shot in 300 blackout, suppressed to be used with subsonic rounds. Plus the hunting opportunities to use something like this!
I'm a bit of a nut for scout rifles and have had the Ruger for a few years now. After trialling different scopes this is the one I've of settled on Bushnell 1.25-8 IER.

I've only got 150 rds through the Marlin but I'm looking forward to trying it out on some goats.

Here's one of my Ruger .44 magnum's I used to own, had a few over the years

It was a 10/22 on steroids and hit like the hammer of Thor with a 240 gr XTP
Sadly... you can't own these anymore :(
Wow that is a beauty. Had the newer Deerfield. Wouldn't mind in a lever action now.
That was the Anniversary Model which I sold as I couldn't bring myself to keep using it. Then bought another which I sold, then bought another that the government bought :(
Another bush hunting rifle

Lyman Deerstalker .50 cal which was a joy to carry and shoot. Missed out on a few deer with hang fires but finally got there.
Sold this rifle and all the gear (melting pot, mold etc) nearly three years ago where Akaroa is now the proud owner of.
That would be unusual being a lefty rifle also wouldnt it?Quote:

A mate of mine then bought one aswell but he has the same model but in stainless but apparently Lyman don't make these rifles anymore.
When you shoot it in the bush... the cloud of smoke lingers there for a while as you can't see what happens to the animal straight off. Follow up shots are hard to do unless your Daniel Day-Lewis in "Last of the Mohicans" loading while on the run but even then you'd use your tomahawk :thumbsup:
Sh00ter,what cal is your ruger scout rifle?
.308, its the version with the synthetic stock, which is a 1lb lighter than the laminate.Quote:

@Pommy how long is that tube on your G gun? How do the 100gr NBT's go on animals?
@Mathias, 20". They do nasty things to whatever they touch.

Nope 7.7 is the Jap this is a tiny bit smaller (in diameter at least) the magazine should be a giveaway.
Japs also did 6.5mm Arisaka type 38. I won't answer this challenge!Quote:
