How do you stack up?

I've owned all of those in various flavors at one point or another in my life and plan on owning them all again before I go

I own only one .30-30; the others in multiples. BTW, the M1 rifle is chambered in .30-'06.

I never had a .30-30, but I've watched Longmire.
Had a '92 in .45LC, but I let it get away.

Don't know who wrote that, but I'm covered in multiples in each category. No brag, just fact.

I've had all of them at one point or another but I'd much rather have my 44 cal spl and magnum variety than .38

Ive never owned a 30/30.... But ive made handloads for a friend that did!

First gun I bought was a Sporterized 03 with a Leupold scope, sold it because I never got the hang of running the bolt from the wrong side(lefty).

Never owned a .38spl but owned a Marlin 336 and still have a .45acp(S&W4566).

My idea of an icon gun would be a 12gauge SXS, maybe because I have a Browning BSS.

Owned them all and still do. S&W .38s, Colt .45 1911, Remington 1917 30-06, and 30-30 Marlin.

But folks, you have to listen to grandpa's lessons cause ain't many troubles that a man cain't fix with Seven Hundred Dollars And a Thirty Ought Six.

And apropos to Lindy Cooper Wisdom and God Bless Jeff.

38spcl, check
45 auto, check
3030, no, but some day will
30-06, check

No .30/30 . . . in fact no lever action of any type.

Also . . . NO black powder guns, nothing "legal" for cowboy action shooting.

But I handload for quite a few cartridges from .32 ACP to .375 H&H.

the US Government loaned me an M1 rifle. (I know, not really a .30-06, but very close.)

Not to mislead anyone.

But the M-1 Garand is about as 30-06 as it ever gets!!

How about most of those (but no .06) but can make knives too?

Me and RC are really manly! LOL

Owned all four, currently only the .30-30.

Have had all, still have a .38 and a few 1911s. Moved on from lever guns, and left .30-06 for .308, as it suits my needs better. Funny - no shotty mentioned.

Have had all of them. Still have the .38 & .45.

No .45 yet, working on it..............

Never heard of that old saying but i wonder what the prize is for "stacking up"?

I've had a number of '06s over the years, but the answer to all is yes:

Currently
M64/3"
45auto in 1911s and S&W M25-2
Winchester M94 (1909) .30WCF
SA M1 National Match (1955)
Winchester M70 30-06
W.A. Sukalle custom M98 30-06

Guess I'm lucky on this one.

Among other things in the safe, there are:

Two .45ACP 1911-pattern pistols; one 5" Springfield, one 3" Kimber (the Col. approved).

No wheelguns yet, but have my eye on a lightweight, 5-shot .357 S&W, primarily to dispose of a lot of .38 Special my .357 levers won't cycle. My favorite lever carbine, however, is a .44 mag Browning '92.

One 1922 Winchester 1894 src in .30WCF, and one Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle in .308. I prefer short-action rifles for their contribution to lighter weight and shorter length overall.

I've got three .38 revolvers, all S&W: a Model 10, a Model 64, and a 642.

I've only got one .45 -- a Springfield 1911.

No .30-30.

One .30-06: a Garand from CMP.

This might not be very manly to admit, but I've got more .22 rimfire firearms than anything else. Way more.

Quilty of owning in multiples over the years.

Frankly if no other centerfire cartridges (other than those) existed , we would still be getting along just fine for the most part.

Owned quite a few .38 Special revolvers and .45 ACP semi-autos. Had a .30-30 years ago but sold it when I needed the money. Have used a number of .30-06 rifles but never had one of my own. The closest I come to that is currently is with my .30-40 Krag.

I have all of them in multiples except a 30/06. I have had a .308, though.
