My favorite hunting rifle is my Remington 700 BDL in .308. It was given to me by my cousin's wife after he passed following a motorcycle accident. It's special because he and I were closer than either of us were to our siblings; and I have used it almost exclusively since then to take antelope, deer, and elk. When I got it, it had a Springfield Armory 6x40 scope with the rangefinding reticle for 7.62. It just so happens that my favorite hunting load (using a Sierra 165gr. Game King hollow point) works perfectly with the reticle; so it's stayed put. I've had a sako-style extractor put on it, but otherwise it is as it was. I can only recall two instances that a second shot was necessary, and on both the second shot was it. I know exactly what that gun will do, every time. I've almost restocked it now a couple times, but I haven't quite been able to do it yet. Maybe one of these days.
