I'd be up for a small game hunt but not varmints... I think they are over hunted.
I just got a medium bodied 5 point buck Monday morning. He's at the processors. 3 points on one side and a broken antler on the other. He was walking down the lane toward the stand and when he bent his head down I shot him through the neck, back to front and he dropped right on the spot.
I have a Remington 700BDL in .30-06 that has been fully tricked out by my gunsmithing friend. My other main rifle is a 50's model 8mm Yugoslavian Mauser that was in HORRIBLE shape. It's now a .308Win barreld Mauser that has been totally reworked (I'm learning gunsmithing.) It'll give 1" groups at 100 yards now.
Beyond those 2 are the pre-requisite Mosin-Nagant milsurp, a .22, and a couple of 12ga shotguns along with my new .40s&w pistol. I'm almost out of room in the gun safe. hehehehe
I hunt deer, pig, squirrel, rabbit, and turkey.
