[Walkathon]

My stuff is boring compared to most on here.

.243 win
.270 win
7mm-08
7 MM Rem Mag
.30-06
.50 Cal smoke pole

 

[Deleted member 38069]

7mm-08
6.5 cm
.270
.300 wm
30-30

Clearly I need to beef up my list!

 

[MJE2083]

Glad to see that most of us are not lacking in options

 

[belly-deep]

Even better you have ones that start with a 3 and followed by 2 zero's.

Those might be my favorites. Although I have a soft spot for .280's....

One of the greatest all round cals doesn't get a look in, someone has to own a 264 win mag!

Take a look at post # 17 again.

Ok, I'll play. This isn't everything in the safe, but just the ones that I have or do hunt with...

.22 lr (x3)
.223
.243
7mm RM
.308
.30-06 (x2)
.357 Mag
.45-70

I'm currently on the hunt for another .308 for my wife, and giving serious consideration to taking a Savage 7mm RM that has never shot the way I'd like it to, and turning it into a .28 Nosler just as a winter project. There's plenty more in the safe, but those are my "hunting" cartridges.

Bismarck ND practicality and common sense just makes no sense to me..........................

Agree, bordering on sacrilege. Should be edited before quoted.

Haha. I'm surprised I got off so easy!

 

[50bowhunter]

308
7mm-08
270wsm
257 roberts
243
223
44 mag revolver
50 cal muzzleloader
22 lr
17hmr
lots of pistols and a few shotguns

(and if my wife asks, I only own 1 gun, and I'm just BS'ing with guys on the internet!)

 

[Dougfirtree]

I'm so boring... I do most of my hunting with one rifle, chambered in 7mm-08. I do have one other (peep sighted, for bad weather), chambered in .30-06. That's it. The kids have a .308 as well.

 

[BrentD]

Peep sighted .30-06? A Springfield '03 perhaps?

 

[choc dogs]

Why don’t I have something in 25 caliber. I feel so inadequate by comparison.

 

[TX_Eric]

Humble collection compared to most. .22, .243, 6.5cm, 7mm rem mag, 300wsm. Included the .357 mag because I always carry it and killed my first hog with it this year. I'd like to add a 338 and 375H&H to the collection.

[completesportsman]

Hmmm,
I noticed that there isn't many 6.5 Creedmoore (manbun) listed on here!!!

Due to shame, some things are best left hidden.

 

[HSi-ESi]

.22LR
.45 LC
.243 Win.

That right there is funny. I think the 6.5 is a silly craze UNLESS your a bench shooter who likes to shoot a lot. I don't believe in using a pocket knife in a sword dual.

 

[beagle001]

Still building to my collection.
We used to be shotgun only, so I feel like I’m behind the 8 ball

.410
.22 LR
.22 pistol
20 gauge (one slug gun, one bird barrel)
25-06- bought for my wife before I bought her a ring
.270
30-06
