Hey, I LIKE this game! The way your rules play, you've got me BUYING more guns.

Currently I have a muzzle loader handgun. Does that count as the centerfire, or the rimfire? Or doesn't it count at all, in which case I'd have to go buy 2 more guns.

I've got a .54 flintlock and a .357 lever action. So I could count my flintlock as the rimfire - but it would be hell on squirrels. Otherwise, I'd hafta go shopping again.

I've got the 12 gauge.

But what about the pipsqueak .22 youth model for my kids? Since they're too young to legally own a firearm, it's legally mine, but they're the ones who shoot it.

And I've got a second .357 lever action, but this one is for my wife and/or kids when they get bigger.

I suppose you'd want to know what I'd go shopping for. I'm currently interested in getting a .357 Ruger Black Hawk. Since you're buying, I'll make it a stainless steel version. Letsee, I suppose a single action .22 Ruger as well. Then a lever action .22 to fill the rimfire rifle void. As long as the muzzle loaders don't count, I'm figurin' I keep those.

Why? I really like the .357 mag. It's a good all-round gun. You can jack it up for big game, self defense, then with .38 spls you can plink all day with it, shoot squirrels and rabbits. Cast your own bullets and you can reload for $2/box (you see why I don't really feel the need for a rimfire?). Reloading is simple with straight cased pistol brass. Straight cases and light loads mean you can reload the brass so many times that the cost of brass is nearly negligible. Bullets come in all sorts of varieties. Factory ammo can be found at any Wal Mart. Factory ammo is cheap.

I would get the rimfires in single action and lever action just because that's what I like. Hell, there was a time when those were way too modern for me.

I don't own a hand gun but I guess if i did have two they would be a 45 caliber of some sort and the biggest rimfire caliber there is.

If I were limited to five firearms,

Pistols: I guess I'd stick with my 22/45 w/ 5" bull barrel and BSA red dot. With it, I can nail a 4" paper plate at 100 yards 10/10 times using Remington Target 22s.

For centerfire, I lean towards my Ruger .45 convertible w/ a 5-5/8" barrel. I like shooting stout hand loads of 255 lswc for the .45Colt and for shooting .45ACP, I like stout hand loads using 200 grain lswc and 230 grain lrn. The groove dia. on this pistol is .450" so that's where I resize all my bullets and it helped a lot with accuracy at 100 yards. Fun and inexpensive shooting.

Rifles: I bought my wife a stainless Marlin model 60 with a 3X9 Tasco Pronghorn on top and if I shoot Remington Target .22s through it, I can cover the hole made by ten rounds with a dime at 25 yards. For such a low dollar ccombination it sure has suprised a lot of people.

My favorite centerfire rifle is my 1885 Browning in .45 Colt. It's a beautiful rifle to handle and finely crafted. It's kind of an oddball cartridge to shoot from this gun, but it is always a pleasure to take to the range. Finding the most accurate handload has been an ongoing cchallengeto say the least when your firing pistol cartridges from a 24" barrel. Strangely though, it also has a .450" groove dia. barrel same as the Ruger. The gun can take stout hand loads, but my shoulder can't and it's not necessary when poking holes in paper.

Shotgun? 12 gauge Model 12 Winchester circa 1941.

Atomic Chicken · « **Reply #46 on:** July 21, 2005, 05:31:59 PM »

Hmmm... difficult choice.

I would probably take:

Handguns: A pair of Glock model 22 (.40 S&W)
Rimfire Rifle: Ruger 77/22 All-Weather (.22LR)
Centerfire Rifle: Ruger Model 77 All-Weather (.243 Win.)
Shotgun: Remington 870 Marine Magnum Stainless Synthetic (12 Gauge)

I would have a hard time choosing between the .243 Win. and .260 Rem. for the centerfire rifle, but since I already have the M77 in .243 Win, that's what I went with. I also would have a hard time choosing between an extra Glock 22 or a Browning Buckmark .22LR pistol as the 2nd handgun, but finally decided the extra Glock would be the better choice for me since I don't hunt with a handgun and feel the .22LR is WAY too underpowered for personal defense.

Best wishes,
Bawko
