Ur favoright of the top three bolt action hunting rifles?

through my reading the top bolt action hunting rifles are remington 700 savage 110 and ruger 77 i think there all nice rifles but which is the best ?which is the most accurate which has the best trigger which has the best looks which has the best quality which has the most after market parts and accesories? i will be finding one of these fine rifles under my christmas tree this year also maybe u have anouther suggestion in the price range of 600-700$? maxUr favoright of the top three bolt action hunting rifles?
They are all the best.* Its just a matter of personal preference.* I have Remington %26amp; Savage Brand.*Ur favoright of the top three bolt action hunting rifles?
The Remington will have the most after market parts/accessories. The Savage (with accutrigger) will likely be the most accurate out of the box and certainly the best trigger. I'm ambivalent towards the Ruger.





All things equal, the Savage may cost less. You can get after market barrels for the Savage, and as long as you stay within the same cartridge family (with same cartridge head dimension such as the 30-06, 280, 25-06, etc), you can simply swap barrels and have a ';new'; gun on the same action. (do a search for Savage barrel swap).
you do realize your going to get everyones opinions and only you can determine which is the best rifle in turns of Accuracy to YOU and which looks best to YOU.





With that being said, I personally like the Remington 700 the best. As far as being accurate, put a decent scope on it(not the $50 bushnell that comes on the 710), boresight it and drop some deer or whatever your hunting.
I really loved my savage 110 E. I could shoot a leaf off a tree at whatever yardage my eyes could make it out. Too bad age has obscured my vision to the point where my son can shoot out the letters on a coke can at 100 yards where I am happy to shoot the center of the can.

Tikka T3 lite .243 with 8x56 S%26amp;B scope and Reflex mod. awesome!


These are my two hunting rifles.
My favorite in order, although very close; Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, FN Browning (the older ones, Belgium made). The latter two are probably in the $800+ range these days.
Remington 700 and Winchester Model 70 are true American rifles.

Savage is what I grew up with. lightweight, durable, looks good etc. etc. etc

Is a Red Ryder good for small game hunting?

You can go on a backyard safari** with one but the Daisy Red Ryder is not designed for hunting*, it's a plinker.





**Bug busting





*The Daisy Red Ryder on has a MV of 280fps - They will barely dent an aluminum pop can at 15ft.

for info on hunting with airgunsIs a Red Ryder good for small game hunting?
if it will kill and you can hit whith it ????da!Is a Red Ryder good for small game hunting?
Red Ryder is a BB gun. Unless you are standing right on top of your target and it's small, you will just cause the game un-necessary pain. Go to a sporting goods store, tell the clerk what you want to hunt and let him suggest a rifle.
Only thing I would say it would be good for ';hunting'; would be mice or rats in a barn or something like that where you were shooting at somthing very small and very close.
NO.





It is great for buffalo and elephant, as long as the range is at least 500 miles (as a kid, I shot them by the thousands). And it is fine for shooting down Messerschmidts and Zeros, but the F-15 is just too fast. It also makes a pretty decent anti-tank rifle for Panzers and Tiger II tanks, but it will just annoy an M-1 Abrams and draw return fire.





But for birds, squirrels and rabbits, it just lacks the OOOMPH to do a good job. It does well on bumble bees and butterflys if your eye is up for the target.





Doc
nope
no 20 years ago we played tag with them
Not in a million years. You'll be lucky to kill a tin can with one.
NO, they dont shoot hard enough. They suck for small game. They are fun to plink with though.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO they go slower than a airsoft gun.





good luck
BB guns, aren't designed as hunting weapons
The only thing you can kill with a Red Ryder BB gun is a Ritz Cracker..lol They just don't have anywhere near the power to kill anything, but they will cause pain and suffering for any animal or bird shot with one.BAD IDEA
No. You'll shoot your eye out.

What is best for pellet gun small game hunting, 22. or 177.? (at 495 fps)?

I was wondering what is better for small game hunting ( partridge,squirrel,.etc) 177.cal or 22.cal at 495 fps.What is best for pellet gun small game hunting, 22. or 177.? (at 495 fps)?
Partridge are Game birds it's illegal to hunt them with an air weapon.





You really need a 20 Guage shotgun. It will deal with the squirrels as well.





EDIT. I'm in the UK. Here partridges (and pheasant) are deliberatly bred by rich landowners for the amusement of their rich friends at shooting parties. Unless you have an invite you can't shoot them. Even with an invite it's shotguns only.





Ian MWhat is best for pellet gun small game hunting, 22. or 177.? (at 495 fps)?
The Canadian limit without a PAL is a muzzle velocity of 495fps AND OR a muzzle energy of 4.2ft-lbs...





IMO, an air rifle with a muzzle energy under 4.2ft-lbs is not suitable for small game hunting...





The rifle would be fine for paper targets and plinking.

These are pretty good sites if you want to learn more about hunting with airguns.
I don't know where Ian is going but in my state small game can be taken with an air rifle. Rabbit, squirrel, gopher. I use a .22. I would say if you can punch through a cardboard shipping box, 2 layers of it, at 25 yds you have the power to kill a rabbit or squirrel.
Neither at 495 fps. Here is a good link of one of my best answers:

Hope this gives you a good idea!
If both are at 495 fps... then a .22 cal pellet would be your best bet.





It's all about mass so if you have the same speed then mass (how big) will be the deciding factor.

Is milsurp 5.56mm NATO ammo safe in hunting rifles?

I've read that military surplus 5.56mm NATO ammo may be unsafe in standard bolt action hunting rifles chambered for the .223 Remington cartridge. Any truth to this? I'm checking out a Stevens model 200 for my son but want to shoot surplus and economy ammunition in it. Is there anything to be concerned about such as pressures, cartridge length, bullet weight or bullet seating depth? Will the Stevens shoot milsurp safely and without jamming the rifle?Is milsurp 5.56mm NATO ammo safe in hunting rifles?
NOT recommended


The primary difference between .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm is that .223 is loaded to lower pressures and velocities compared to 5.56mm. (Conversely .308 commercial has a higher standard pressure than it's 7.62x51 NATO counterpart)


.223 Remington ammunition can be safely fired in a 5.56mm chambered gun, but the reverse can be an unsafe combination. The additional pressure created by 5.56mm ammo will frequently cause over-pressure problems such as difficult extraction, flowing brass, or popped primers, but in extreme cases, could damage or destroy the rifle. Chambers cut to .223 Remington specifications have a shorter leade (throat) area as well as slightly shorter headspace dimensions compared to 5.56mm ';military'; chamber specs, which contributes to the pressure issues.





Military cases are made from thicker brass than commercial cases, and the NATO specification allows a higher chamber pressure. Mil-spec chambers also have a longer leade, which is the distance between the mouth of the cartridge and the point at which the rifling engages the bullet. To address these issues, some proprietary chambers exist, such as the Wylde chamber (Rock River Arms) or the Armalite chamber, which are designed to handle both 5.56 mm and .223 equally well.





Using 5.56 mil-spec cartridges (such as the M855) in a .223-chambered rifle can lead to excessive wear and stress on the rifle and even be unsafe, and the SAAMI recommends against the practice. The manufacturer should always be consulted to verify that this is acceptable before attempting it, and signs of excessive pressure (such as flattening or gas staining of the primers) should be looked for in the initial testing with 5.56 mm ammunitionIs milsurp 5.56mm NATO ammo safe in hunting rifles?
The .223 chamber throat is just a tad shorter than the 5.56. Chances are you probably wouldn't notice much diff if you *did* shoot it in a good quality firearm, but the shorter throat will hold the bullet tighter in the shell and it *will* crank up the chamber pressure before the bullet starts to move down the barrel.





If you plan to do it, you should take your weapon to a competent smith and have the throat lengthened. It will pay for itself in one good order of milsurp ammo.





As to ';throat wear'; etc associated with 5.56 ammo in .223 firearms, it simply means the milsurp ammo is pushing the rifling up the bore a bit with wear. It's eroding the throat longer with each shot. In this case, firing milsurp ammo through a .223 weapon will actually lengthen the throat and reduce pressure the more you shoot it. Sounds like a good thing....but much safer just to have the throat lengthened.
The above is a copy/paste from Wikipedia. It is correct however. 5.56 NATO is loaded to higher pressures than commercial .223 Remington ammuntion. It is not suggested that you use 5.56 in .223 caliber sporting rifles. This is due to the higher pressure and may cause more throat wear on your sporter.





The bullet weights (55, 62, 69, grains, etc.) are the same, as are the seating depths, but the pressures are different - and that is an important issue when it comes to the chamber and throat.





I would not use 5.56 NATO in a sporter. .223 ammo is cheap anyway - buy Remington UMC or Winchester USA .223 REM ammo - save the SS109 (etc.) 5.56 NATO for your Mini-14 or AR.
Course you can.
