Your favorite 2 rifle and 1 shot gun combination

[Begger]

300 H&H in Pre-64 Winchester Model 70
375 H&H in pre-64 Winchester Model 70
12 Gauge Belgian Browning Model A5

I own and have extensive experience hunting with and shooting each of these. If I had to have only these three hunting arms, I have no doubt they would serve me well.

 

[Newboomer]

Win 70 Safari Express in 375HH.
Ruger 77 in 6.5CR.
Remington 870 in 12 gauge.
All have proven themselves many times.

Lovely! I have a recently refurb Belgian Auto 5 that I need to shoot...

My choice is pretty standard

PG - 9.3 x 62 Mauser 98 FN commercial, 23 " barrel with 286 nosler partitions, 293 Peregrine VRG1 solids, 286 hydros

DG and stopper (just about) - 404 Jeff Mauser 98 FN commercial, 26 " barrel with 400 grain Peregrine VRG1 solids, 400 grain Peregrine VRG3, 400 grain hydros, 450 grain Norma soft points

Camp shot gun (in case of snakes) - Mossberg 590 pump

 

[Professor Mawla]

- 7x57 mm Mauser ( a BRNO ZKK - 600 )
- .458 Winchester Magnum ( my Winchester Enfield Model 1917 action custom piece )
- My Laurona 12 bore side-lock ejector double barreled side by side shotgun

Great question! My favorite battery is my pre 64 model 70 in 300 H&H loaded with 200 grain A-frames, my 416 Rigby big game with 400 grain A-frames, and my 12 bore Westley Richards droplock. Both the rifles have been to Africa, but the shot gun has not. When I brought a shotgun to Africa it was my Parker VH.

300 win mag 180 grain Nosler Partions in a heavily customized Remington 700

375 H&H 300 grain Swift Aframes in a Remington 700.

12 Gauge Remington 870. It’s old but always gets the job done.

My choice fits into one case and is one I have taken on all three of my trips to Africa. It is a Krieghoff "Teck" boxlock O/U double rifle in caliber .458 Winchester Magnum, with extra barrel sets in .375 H&H Magnum and 20 gauge 3" Magnum. With it I have taken elephant, Cape buffalo, lion, leopard, eland, greater and lesser kudu and a heap of ducks, sand grouse and Guniea fowl.

With your thread title, I assumed you meant combination when you said combination
(6.5x55, 22 hornet, 20 ga)

 

[Ike85123]

Thats an easy question for me, I only hunt with 2 rifles all the time.

Remington 700cdl 300wm
With Barnes vor-tx, really like big 180gr, I dont wanna track. Lol

Heym 88ph 500ne
Norma african ph 570gr
Or
Nosler safari 570gr

I dont really bird hunt.
But I have a ruger red label 12ga
I prefer to use no3 steel shot, good for ducks and home defense !

 

[Alaska]

Browning A5 in 12 Ga
Win 70 XTR in 30-06
Christensen Arms 338 Win Mag

 

[IvW]

German made Bergstutzen with a 9.3x74R/7x57R barrel 24" and a second barrel set 20ga 3"/7x65R 25" with 5 chokes, cylinder, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full

That would do me nicely.....

 

[rigbymauser]

I have only 1 shotgun. An older Rigby 12bore.

Along with that my .333Jeffery or my .300 H&H would do me well.

 

[Nevada Mike]

Model 70 in 7x57 being restocked by Aaron Little
Mauser 98 in .404 J by Reto Buehler
Henry Atkin 12 bore self opener from 1930

But I do have alternatives, if needed.

 

[Jay Kelley]

I have a CZ 557 in .30-06 and a CZ 550 in .375 H&H. I would add a plain pump action 12 gauge chambered for 2 3/4 or 3 inch with screw-in chokes.
