It's a Ruger American Predator in .308 Winchester. I've only ever shot 150 grain Winchester Power-Points in it. Never tried any other ammo in it because I was more than happy with it's accuracy and terminal performance.
Rifles you adore that leave others scratching their head?

I adore the SKS for sure! 1957 Romanian 100% numbers matching model, 100% stock, imported long ago by Century. Its well worn but runs like a thoroughbred. Paid $175 at a local gun show about 18 years ago. Back when 500 rounds of Wolf steel case was like $70.

I have a '46 M44 that is my son's favorite rifle, he absolutely loves it.
Of course, it's a "thumper" though.
Couple of years ago when he was about 12 years old I had him at the range the would just load and shoot, load and shoot, probably 60-70 rounds.
I remember thinking to myself "his shoulder is gonna be hurting tonight" but there wasn't even a mark!

No kidding... I would like one to pair with my 500 revolver, but not at that price! I paid half of what they want for those, for my S&W Performance Center JRC 500.

needs more ammo
Honorable mention to a walnut-stocked Remington 7615 Police.
So far, that's my favorite choice in the thread.

Here it is... Need to index the flash hider still though.
My own custom blend of DuraCoat black with a lot of flattener added. Boyd's Furniture. A1 upper with a 20" barrel. Cassette trigger.
I might have prioritized getting one, if I had known they could shoot like that!

Remington M7 in .350RM:
I love this thing, it carries like a dream, but has a .35 Cal hole going in, .60+ Cal hole coming out, kills chit with authority. I've got two scopes for in in QD mounts; Swarovski 1.25-4X and a Leupold 2.5-8X. NOT a bench rifle by any means, but very, very, accurate for what it is. Sub MOA with Nolser 225 Partitions an Hornady 200s.
Currently going through an "upgrade", had the barreled action Cerakoted in midnight blue, and have had a Manners stock on order since December to shed some weight. Hoping to get it back together for some late season deer drives this year.

My big, heavy, M48 Mauser with forward mounted scope that shoots clover leafs at 100 yards.

I have several guns that use ammo that Cavalry doesn't list. Eg: 7.63 Mauser, .30 Luger, .32 S&W short, .44 Auto Mag, 7.65 Arg. Mauser, .338-06 and others. I'll bet you do too.

But Cavalry does list this one, my new favorite with 156 gr bullets.
1903 Mannlicher-Schoenauer in 6.5 x 54. Accurate to 100+ yards.

Just don't let it go and stock ammo and brass. I have a 1974 Marlin 45-70 with the Ballard rifling that would likely be one of the last 4 or 5 I'd sell in hard times:
I took off that scope and added Marbles buckhorn rear and green fiber optic front. Accurate as a man could want and those 430 gr. hardcast handloads churn insane energy at muzzle!!

"Yes. My Remlin 1984CB. .357 octagon barrel.
I know it's not a "JM" stamped marlin. Its a badly made, rough as a cobb, bad copy put out by Remington.
But it don't know that. Well fitted, very smooth, accurate. I sold a JM marked 357 carbine that was awesome and kept this one."
Friend, that falls under the category of "Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then . . ."
Just smile when you hold it and grin when you pull the trigger!!

They do list the Auto Mag, but its out if stock.
Interestingly enough, the "wierd" stuff ive got has been reduced to a 6.5BRM and a .257 Roberts........for a guy who prides himself on having and shooting interesting cartridges, my collections becoming pretty Vanilla lol....Or at least fairly obtainable.

Sad day when Ol Bob is considered weird.
Ive got 30 and 357 Herrett, 22 Savage HP, 300 Sav, and 357/44 B&D as the weird ones. And Ol Bob of course.
