Well at this point the only CF rifle I use for my biggame hunting is 7mm rem mag custom 700 with a Zeiss Conquest mounted on top. Even though I own a number of other CF's, this rifle feels right/fits right and plain ole' works jim dandy on everything I have taken (upto moose).

Well we don't have any family heirloom firearms left, they were stolen years ago. You could take all my supository guns, but you can't have any of my muzzle loaders. I might consider a switch barrel if only receivers were involved.

Slamfire, that sucks! I had a stuffed bear (teddy bear) that got stolen when I was at school that was my grandpas, then my dads, then mine. Still don't know who stole it to this day

I would go with my Marlin 35. That was the first gun to own my Father gave it to me at the age of 9 and I still use it every year to hunt with.

i would probably go with my Rem. 700 BDL in 30-06. i can hunt anything i want with it with the different bullet weights. i also choose it because it's almost the same thing as what i killed my first deer with. i killed it with my dad's left handed BDL in 30-06. mine will be the same exact setup except that it's right handed and the scope is slightly different.

We suspect my sister's son, he was in his cocaine period and knew where they were and how to get in. []

I've got a Fox Sterlingworth 20 ga. that my great-grandfather bought new, it went to his daughter - my grandmother, then my father and now me. One of my kids will end up with it.

Pick one, just one? Ouch! Okay, from all the guns I have now I guess I'll have to go with my Rem.700 LSS Mountain rifle, a 270Win., with Leupold 2-7x scope. It has proven to be a very accurate rifle, light weight, stainless steel with laminated stk. (easy to care for and strong stock). Another nice characteristic, it shoots several loads to the same point of impact, or close enough it don't need to be re-sighted for hunting purposes
(Rem.150gr. Core-lokts, Federal Classic 150gr., Win. 130gr. Power Pts., and Rem. 100gr.)
Now, if I can throw in one handgun & one shotgun, I'll take my Ruger Sec.Six 4" stainless 357mag., and my Rem.870 12ga.
