if you could have any 5 single shots what would they be???
heres the rules
1)it can be ANY single shot. old,new,ANY.
2)if its a interchangeable barrel system(t/c,NEF/h&r.....)you can have 2 barrels per frame.
3)it can have any scope/sight you want.
heres mine. i already have 3 of the five i want. :-D
1)NEF .410 26" barrel,full choke 3"chamber. its my favorite because it was my first gun

i have a huntsman .50 cal muzzle loader barrel for it with a tasco world class 3-9x40 soon to be replaced with a bushnell 3-9x40 trophy
2)i also have this gun,it was my 2nd gun. NEF .12 ga 28"barrel mod choke,3"chamber. i have a H&R ultra slug hunter 20 .ga barrel for it. its fully rifled,24"barrel(1-28"twist) topped with a trophy 3-9x40 (going on the huntsman) to be replaced with a bushnell legend 3-9x40.
3)the last single shot i have.its a NEF .280 rem 26"barrel,1-10"twist,synthetic monte-carlo stock,topped with a simmons 3-10x44 .44 mag scope. i don't have a barrel for but i would get a .243 win 24"barrel with a bushnell 4200 elite 2.5-10x42.
4) a T/C encore in .300 mag topped with a bushnell 4200 elite 3-10x50. i would get a .260 rem barrel for it with the same scope.
5)T/C encore 22-250 rem topped with a loupold 6.5-20 vx.iii
these are my choices,what are yours???
later

1. Remington Rolling Block in 45/70 ( have one)
2. 308 Encore pistol (have one.)
3. 16.5 inch 308 rifle barrel for the Encore with a shoulder stock and forarm to make a short carbine in 308. Will have on when I can afford it. :grin:
4. a other pistol barrel for the Encore but I do not know what caliber I would want?
5. same as 4. only a other short rifle barrel maybe 45/70 so I could have a lighter 45/70.

The Remington I like so much I really would not need a other single shot like it as a sharps ect Ballard ect.

Tom W. · « **Reply #10 on:** July 11, 2004, 12:16:29 PM »

If my T/C Hawken counts as one, then I'm only allowed one more, and I think I'd like a Browning 1885 in .25-06.

Updated...... I ended up with a Ruger #1B in 7mm Rem Mag. So I guess my list is filled.....

KENTDEP · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2004, 03:44:03 PM »

I would have to have a Sharps, a Ballard, a Stevens 44 1/2 (have one in .22lr), a Remington roller, a Winchester 1885 (have one in .17 HMR) and I would have to have a TC Encore with a lot of barrels.

Oh that would be six.... I guess that I will have to work some overtime!

Contender/Encore in anything

gwhilikerz · « **Reply #16 on:** October 26, 2004, 01:51:56 PM »

I am rather cheap. I would go with H&R?NEF and Rossi in 20ga, 22, 223, 30-30 and 45-70. I love "fine" guns and have a few. But I usually find myself using these workhorse guns a lot more.

C A Plater · « **Reply #17 on:** October 27, 2004, 02:39:53 AM »

3 contender frames and 6 barrels ( .22, .25-20, .35 rem, 6.5TCU, .30-30 & .38-55 )

1. I have to have my Ruger No 1B in 7mm Rem Mag. Its a killer. I cant even start to count the scopes its made for me over the years.

2. I need the Ruger No 1V in 220 Swift. Although it hasnt shoot much more than targets over the last 8 years, its pretty deadly.

3. I would keep the TC Encore with the 22 custom barrel in 17 Remington. Its a nice rifle.

4. Im going to buy a Ruger No 1B in 25-06 soon to replace the poor quality TC barrel I have for the Encore.

5. I want a Sharps in 40-65 or 45-70 (Not one of those Italian jobs, but one that has deep rifling and twists to handle lead bullets). It well be my little toy. I love to play around with loading and experimenting.
