I went to the range today to mess around with my .375 Model 94 and my Interarms .243. I took along my 1/4 steel buffalo target that I use for rimfire shooting. With the rimfires I shoot away and at the end of the day hit the buffalo with some white spray paint and it's as good as new.
Not so...
This is mine. Model 25-5; cut to three inches, ported, round butted, night sights. Pretty well done by an unknown gunsmith. I picked it up at a local gun show for $500 OTD. I love it.
I was an 11 Bravo for six years in the '80's. 101st, Southern Command in Panama and 2nd ID in Korea. Couple of trips to patrol along the Honduran/Nicaraguan border, 21 months in Korea on the DMZ. We usually carried six 30 round mags in pouches on our LBEs and one mag in our rifles for 210 rounds...
I stumbled on my dream gun last year. $499 out the door. A S&W 25-5 .45 Colt. It looks to be a former 6 inch cut to a ported 3 inch, round butted with night sights. Unknown gunsmith. It would have cost me $1500+ to build this gun.

I know this may not be the appropriate thread or venue for this but I visit the site often and I respect the knowledge of a lot of folks here.
I have a great Victorinox/Swiss Army Pocket Watch that I've had for 10+ years. It's engraved with a personal sentiment that makes it that much more...
Perhaps I'm missing the point but I have a 25 year old Interarms .243 that will do most anything this fine weapon will do (within reason). And hell, I already own it.
Whenever I see new products being offered with certain claims of dubious or at least debatable superiority I am reminded of Mr...
The SAA has always been my assumption. Are you reading "The Ranger The Cook and the Hole in the Sky?" I love that story.
The ranger, Bill Bell, was known to Elmer Keith. He mentioned Bell on page 130 of "Sixguns". I think that's pretty interesting.
I have one that I bought for $250 several years ago. It shoots better offhand than almost any rifle I have but it's worth less than nothing. It's a GREAT looking shooter in 30.06, which ain't bad for a $ deuce and a half.
Do a quick Google search of National Ordnance and you'll get the stuff...
I'm sorry but I looked up "Snark Magnet" in the dictionary and they referred me to this thread.... The interwebs are fun!
I cringe whenever the word BEST is issued.
"Best" is not an option. State an opinion. Describe why you feel this opinion may be merited. Discuss sensibly.
