I have a Mosin-Nagant that I will probably shoot up all the ammo I have for and then sell because it's not very accurate and has a goofy safety, etc.
I have a Savage Edge in .223, no complaints. Just got the stuff to reload for it. I've loaded thousands of pistol round but this will be my first go around with rifle rounds. I use this rifle the most because I mostly hunt small game and varmints.
I have a Howa 1500 .30-06 which is a pretty cool rifle and seems to have potential to be very accurate, kind of an underdog rifle or unsung hero. Same factory as Weatherby if I'm not mistaken. I don't have much use for it since I don't hunt anything very big, although I have had some interest in getting set up to reload for it and trying to load light bullets for it for coyotes... But that's all pretty much pointless due to the rifle below...
Lastly I have a new Ruger M77 Hawkeye compact stainless laminate in .260 Remington that I've inherited on the condition that I don't sell it. I'm thinking about making this kind of my go to one gun once I get set up to reload for it. And get a good scope for it.
I would really like an AR in something like 6 mm, Aeon's magic unicorn crap on a stick. Something that I can keep on target in recoil and make multiple shots on multiple coyotes or on the run but the money just isn't there and won't be for probably a pretty good long while. Ain't starving or broke but I got other stuff I got to spend money on and save it for.
The 260 should be good for deer should I decide to go there and should work for yotes, especially since I want to try to stretch the yardage on shots. I can always have the 223 for a back up as well. That reminds me, I like that the 223 has magazines and don't like that the 260 doesnt, oh well. I did find out that the Howa can be converted but I don't have much use for it. So I guess basically I'm looking at selling the 06 and the Mosin.
What do y'all think?
