TOP TEN

22   35 Whelen
14   6.5x55mm Swedish
12   257 Roberts
12   357 Magnum

7    32 H&R Magnum
7    41 Magnum
7    444 Marlin
7    45-70 Government
7    7.62x39mm

Like to add some options here.

Stock (pallet or laminated or synthetic or walnut or thumbhole or etc?)
Forend (Mannlicher or etc?)
Barrel length
Barrel type (Stainless steel or Blue or Round or Octagon or etc?)
Sights (scope or Iron open or Ghost Ring or Peep or etc?)

Never owned one before the Marlin 338.  Impressed with performance and BC of 338 caliber.  May have to sacrifice my 25-06 Ultra to a rebore. :-\  Would rather rechamber a 338 Fed Handi barrel. ;).  DP
