One of each and two of some of them. :grin:

Right now I'm loaded with........
.22 LR
.22hornet

.243
.38/.357mag
.357 max
.30-30
7.62x39
.38-55
.44mag
.45-70
I think I need a .50 cal and a 7MM, A front stuffer and a .280 would make that right but I really want a .35 Whelen and a 7x57. I don't have a 17 cal yet, Boy am I a slacker. :shock:

And you guys say I got a-lot of Handi's...sheeese

Well maybe I have had a few..now that I think about it...that's why the editing is here..:oops:

Ok...first off....I'm a shooter... not a collector as some believe...and I try to hunt with all of them I keep..I have owned several different ones...mostly over the last 2 year's ....some I've kept...some I've traded...some I've sold outright to forum members...some I've bought just to sell without shooting them.. all..for 1 reason or another...so you won't see vast numbers available for those nice photos such as Quicks or a few others have.... and..namely because of safety reasons.. I just don't like telling folks everything I have...but I can tell ya what has passed thru my doors at 1 time or another... and those would be..

1 20ga H&R Topper
1 12ga Ultra Slug Hunter
1 12 ga 3-1/2" Topper Deluxe Classic
1 H&R 22 Hornet
1 243 Ultra Varmint
2 25-06 Ultra's
1 standard 270 Handi
2 270 Ultra-Comps
1 H&R Topper 30-30
1 NEF 30-30
2 308 Handi's
1 308 Ultra
1 308 Survivor Bull Barrel
2 30-06 Handi's
1 30-06 Ultra
2 30-06 Ultra-Comp's
1 Custom 338-06 Ultra
1 RMEF 35 Whelen
1 45-70 Limited Edition

Now...some would say that was a pretty good Arsenal...but as any can see it's certainly been lacking in the Rimfire Department and in the pistol cartridge area... By next PD shoot I hope to aquire a additional 1 or 2 of the newer calibers to take along..and then I hope to expand the Custom chamberings by 2 or 3 as well...so I have a few more to add before I consider it to be perfect...which of course drives the wife nuts trying to figure all of this out..

My old original H&R .30-30 with full lenth fore end that belonged to my best friend Billy Doss before his death. Works for prairie dogs to deer and I'm sure more too if I wanted to take it out for them. With that kinda versatility who needs more. :eek:

Works on prairie dogs out to about 150 yards. Freehand no less. Ask the fellows who watched me prove it. :lol:

tommy_tsunami · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2005, 01:10:24 PM »

Hmmmmm, that's a toughy! I guess it depends on how many do you want when it's all said and done!

I would have:
.45/70
.44 mag
20 gauge shotgun
.243
.22 hornet

That'll do 'er!

oneshotonekill · « **Reply #21 on:** August 08, 2005, 01:13:48 PM »

My arsenal is not perfect due to the fact I don't own a NEF/H&R rimfires but in the shotgun and centerfire categories I'm pretty well set. My current H&R collection includes:

410
28 ga
20 ga
20 ga ultra slug hunter deluxe
12 ga topper
12 ga pardner
12 ga tracker II
10 ga turkey

204
223 standard
223 bull 22"
243 standard
243 bull
25/06
270
7mm-08
280
30/30
30-06
44
45-70 22"
450
500S&W

FirstFreedom · « **Reply #22 on:** August 08, 2005, 02:23:30 PM »

I'd have to agree that the 'perfect' collection would be one of each. Right now I'm just wanting a .223 ultra varmint, and a pardner .410 bore.

poncaguy · « **Reply #23 on:** August 08, 2005, 02:31:46 PM »

Gosh..let's see.these are all complete rifles:
17HMr
223 Fluted Varmiter
243 SS Synthetic
243 Bull Barrel
22-250 Bull barrel
22 Hornet
7mm-08
308 Survivor (Choate stock now)
45-70 Synthetic ( Choate stock now)
204 Fluted varmit
Still want:
357 Max
44Mag
30-30

And it's all you guys fault!

myarmor · « **Reply #24 on:** August 08, 2005, 02:43:14 PM »

Well, my idea of a perfect arsenal of Handi's.....includeds the ones I do not have yet-but am working on. Call me a simple man

- 12ga shottie
- 17HMR
- 223
- 44Mag..or 357Mag
- 25-06
- 30-06
- perhaps down the road a 45-70

Good enough for me...then the sickness sets in, asking for more than what you need :grin:
