“Mint” would be the key word. How many New Old Stock 1975 rifles have you seen lately? How many of those are out of production? How many of those are known to be quality firearms? How many of those are collectible?
As you go through each question that you can say “yes” to, the price of the...
The .30-06 used to be tha “main” round all others were measured against in the US…WHY? Because from 1906 through 1957 it was the main rifle and machine gun cartridge. Literally, millions of servicemen learned to use and rely on this cartridge in combat, then were able to buy surplus rifles in...
Id go back to 1938 and Make sure WE won the Miller case at the Supreme Court to get the GCA of 1934 declared unconstitutional!

In 1938, the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas ruled the statute unconstitutional...
This is tough…Do shotguns count?
1. .308 Winchester in a Ruger GSR
2. 12 gauge in a Remington 870
3. .357 Magnum in a Ruger GP100
These could do 100% of what I need to get done, but it wouldn’t be as fun.
Handloading all three really opens up the capabilities.
I always thought a small chunk in the middle of the country with exactly four buildings no more! One for Congress, one for the supreme court, one for the new White House, and one for as a dormitory for everybody, except the President’s family to live! Then the Congressment will actually WANT to...
My three…
.50 BMG in a Barrett semiauto, for fun!
.22 Hornet in a mini Mauser bolt action, for small game/varmints.
.300 RCM in a Ruger M77 so Id have a stablemate to my .338 RCM!
Id grab either .357 and be happy!
I have an 1894S in .44 magnum that Ive taken deer with. I also have an NEF Handirifle in .357 that I have yet to drop a deer with, but its next on my list for short range deer hunting. I also tote Ruger double actions in bith cartridges and would have no...
Ive built several PSA-15s over the years from Stealth uppers and lowers found on sale, many blems, which had no discernible blemishes. All ran fine and shot well enough. Each was done in the $500 neighborhood. Good luck!
I have two, both Marlin JMs purchased when Marlin was building them! An 1894S .44magnum and a .444Marlin.
Id like to get a JM .30-30 “just because”...
Id also like a JM 1894C in .357magnum.
I have only one of these three; the .308 Winchester!
If I need smaller, I have .223, .25-06; rimfire and PCCs.
If I need bigger, I goto .338 RCM or .444Marlin.
Really!?!
Heres an Interesting thread:

Aiming at the chin should put the rounds center mass, maybe even higher.
Try the challenge then report back!
BTW, ive tried it a couple of times myself...
Heres a test for you guys on your next range visit. Take a silhouette target and place it at 100 yards. Shoot at it with your carry gun!
Where do you aim?
A good start is a LOT LOWER than you may first guess...
Try holding where the chin would be and see where the rounds land.
Good luck!
WOW! Sounds like somebody was just trying to get the money he paid in 98/99 back out of it! Or it was somebody that bought it dirt cheap and thought he was making out like a bandit at $600!
