Gastro Gnome - Eat Better Wherever

How many hunting rifles do you have?

11 that are serious hunting rifles. I try to use 3 a year. Some get rotated in more often than others. All have drawn blood. Must have sold at least another ten over the years.
.243, .250-3000 (X2), 257R, 7-08 (X2), 7SAUM, 280AI, 30-30, .358STA, .38-55

Sako, Remington, Cooper, Ruger, Winchester, Marlin, Kimber, I really need to diversify more. Thinking of adding a Weatherby this winter, but seems a little pretentious.

22lr, 22hornet, 223 win mod 70, 243 mod 70, 300wsm xbolt, 300wsm xbolt long range, dang i got my count wrong

its a 17 hornet, boy glad i found it
Oh yea, saw an old and battered BSA hunter in 222 and it's now mine.
 
223, 6.5 manbun, 308, 300 prc

Really never use the 223/6.5 but i like to shoot targets with them. They both are capable on game though.

Everything i want/need except maybe a slow twist 22-250/204 and a 375 ruger.
 
6.5-06, 7mm-08, 7mmMag x2, 300wm, 338-06, 375Ruger plus a bunch of 22lr, and a 22Mag. Going to add a T3 lite in either 223 or 22-250 and maybe a 243.
 
4 if you ask my wife and 26 if it's it's the insurance adjuster. Some haven't been shot in awhile and may go down the road and consolidate and upgrade. Sold some I wish I still had and have some I wish I wasnt attached to.

I have 2 big game rifles. 270, and 338 win mag. Will eventually look for a 375 or 416 for an Africa hunt. I'd rather have 2 or 3 high quality rifles that I know inside and out over 10 eh rifles I sort of know.

375 ruger or h&h? :)
 
I like the 30s...have a 300winmag, 308, and 30-06...makes reloading easy too...mostly carry my .308 cause it's under 7lbs with scope and a can. I have 44mag lever gun for close in work.
 
Ive got 11. I kinda got carried away. 3-.270, 1-.338WM, 2-.300WM, 2-7mmRM, 2-.25-06, 1-.30-06. two remingtons, 3 Rugers, 6 Brownings. No brag, just fact.
 
7mm Rem Mag Seekins PH2, .264 Win Mag Winchester Model 70, .308 Rem 700 ADL, .243 Ruger American, 30/30 Marlin, .22 cricket, .22 Win Mag Marlin, .22 Winchester Wildcat, .223 Wylde AR, in the process of building another AR in 5.56. I'm to the point now that I'm getting things for my kids to use for hunting which is mainly the use of the .243 and AR along with the .22 rifles. I would like to find collectors pieces now like M1 garand, 98K Mauser, 30/40 Krag, .303 Enfield etc.
