Strange, Not Strange?

Apparently they don't collect, either. I have firearms in the following calibers:

.22 LR
.32 ACP
9mm
10mm
.45ACP
.38 Special
.357 Magnum
.44 Magnum
.22 Hornet
.25-06
.270 Winchester
6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer
6.5x55 Swede
7x57R
7x65R
7.65x54 Argentine
.30-40 Krag-Jorgenson
.30-06
.308 Winchester
8x57 Mauser
.375 H&H
12 gauge

Life with just a few limited calibers would be too boring.

Rick,

I thought I was the only crazy one around here:

.22 LR

.308 Win
.30-06
.300 Win Mag
8MM Rem Mag
.338 Win Mag
.340 Weatherby Mag
.350 Rem Mag
.375 H&H
9MM
.40 S&W
.454 Casull
12 GA
16 GA
20 GA

Undergunned piglet

Where's the .50 BMG?

Dave,

You know what they say about great minds, etc....

I forgot the .348 Winchester, .243 Winchester, and .257 Roberts.

While I understand the desire for standardization for tactical reasons, hunting is a much more variable situation that requires different tools for different game. I could use the .375 on everything and never be undergunned, but where is the fun in that?

Rick,

I think your right.
Always nice to be able to choose the right caliber depending on the game hunted.
I'm thinking about a .50 Alaskan next as I sold all my winchesters including my .348 Model 71.

Happy Hunting,
dave

Buzzards are BIG in TEXAS!!!!!

Had just taken the T&E off for some free-fire before the photo...





I'm afraid THAT may be a lost cause... of course, I COULD just aim 'OUT' and have the same affect... as in the famous words of Chesty Puller "So they've got us surrounded, good! Now we can fire in any direction, those b*****ds won't get away this time!"

Chesty Puller was one H--- of a Marine. He said some great things. That's one of my favorites.

Here is another that I think is even more appropriate now than it was then.
"Our Country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't
be any AMERICA because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our
women and breed a hardier race!"
-Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC

I would really like to fire one of those again. It's been many years since I got to play with the big guns. Don't miss alot about the Corps but that is one of the things I do miss.
