What is the last gun that you bought?

View attachment 1042687 View attachment 1042688 View attachment 1042689 Ruger No1. 458 Win Mag. Didnt actually buy. It,was given by a freind who passed away.

I am a fan of the No. 1. This is gorgeous. I do have a No. 1 in 450/400 Nitro Express 3 inch. It kicks like a huge mule on PCP. I have a nickel says this one recoils more. Do not shot from a bench rest. Use a standing rest. Shooting jacket with pad would not be amiss.

Don't know if I shared. Bought a French Berthier carbine (8mm Lebel) a couple months ago. Marked on receiver "Châtellerault" which seems to be the manufacturing site and Mdl 1892 seeming to be model number. It seem in decent shooting shape and fits into my WWI collection nicely. It is 'duffle' cut, and I will have to glue a thin section of wood in the gap. Not to conceal the cut, but to ease handling and dismantling. It's a three shooter action.

Neat! Those old African Safari cartridges are really cool to read about, look at and shoot, and the No.1 is one beautiful rifle from muzzle to buttplate!

I may be mistaken, but wasn’t the .458 Win designed to emulate the .450/.400 performance in a bolt gun? I thought I read that somewhere.

Stay safe.

I remember reading something on the subject. I cannot remember all the details but there was a wildcat cartridge, I think along the lines of a .375 H&H, necked up to .45 caliber. Winchester (according to the story) shortened it a bit so it would operate in the large extant Winchester action and called it the Winchester Magnum.

Regardless of the derivation, development or origin, the .458 WM was designed to be a bolt gun substitute for African type large game. That goal seems to be reached.

Picked up a 1893 Marlin in 32-40 and a 219 zipper in puzzle form

 

[Ported Marlin]

Got a Ruger single action revolver in 22, similar to my New Vaquero in 44 magnum, but a brownish color, and much more pleasant to shoot.

 

[Mars5l]

Well I've paid for them but waiting for them to clear since they were used. Bought myself a Lakefield Mark II for $150 and a Glenfield 25 with a scope for $160. Kinda excited to add 2 more .22 rifles.

I picked up the M&P 10mm yesterday.

I can't wait to get it to the range!!

 

[tuckerdog1]

Really didn't need this, but when has "not needing" ever stopped any of us? Already have three Mossbergs ( 590 12ga, 500 20ga & 500 410ga ), but none of those have wood furniture. The price was low enough, I thought it might be a typo. So "Yay" another Mossberg 500 12ga.

Why do I have to press one for English when you’re just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

 

[potmetal]

I picked up a new CZ P-10M Saturday. I like CZ's, I liked the feel of the gun, I hope it is as reliable as every other CZ I've ever had.

NIB Bersa Thunder Plus w/15+1 capacity. Had been looking for one for a couple of years. LGS couldn’t order one and every place I frequent locally and on line were out of stock.

One thing I don’t like about Bersa is they only provide one magazine. With the exception of the .22 LR they are hard to find but not impossible.

Model 70ftw .270, bought it new on an online auction for $700, been a couple years ago already...probably due to pick something up.

Savage 110 in 243 to share with my wife

 

[Armored farmer]

A Kimber Stainless Target II in 9mm. So far the gun really likes the Win 124 gr FMJ . My first all steel 9mm 1911. It’s a bit heavier than my other 9mm 1911’s so recoil is almost nothing .

Oooooooh....nice target!

I've posted this in another thread, so hopefully not too redundant.
My son wanted to sell his 7mm-08 Handi rifle to fund another project, so I added it to my Handi collection

I think about 10rds down the pipe.
It will join the existing Handi family members...
.204, .223, .30-06,

Brought this Rossi home today, added to my 32 addiction, got the full box of ammo the previous owner bought with his gun in the 80's, he never shot it...unbelievable... I've been very lucky lately
Model 69

 

[spraay]

Last two guns for awhile... Except maybe get myself a xmas present but who knows. But I brought I home my last away and rescued an old H&R Plainsman 865 along with a Sig 229 Legion.

I recently picked up a 229 Legion. My second Sig, my first Legion. I definitely like it.

 

[gryphon1911]

Got a police trade in Sig Sauer P226R.
One of my bucket list guns. It’s in 40, but the price was too good to pass up and I don’t mind 40SW.

 

[Mars5l]

Merry Christmas to me. Henry Golden Boy .22 Magnum

I got two rifles recently (within the last 4 months): one is an FN30 in 8mm, sold to some Chinese warlord, and (by the time it got to America) fitted with a ZB bolt (which runs smoothly and gauges as safe); the other is a Mauser M1895 in 7mm, with (shockingly) a complete sight slider (which many 1895 Mausers seem to lack). I threw cheapish modern repro slings on them for these photos!

Have a happy new year!

The FN30:



The Chilean Mauser 1895 rifle:

 

[Mars5l]

First 4 guns of the new year. Marlin 60, Marlin Glenfield 25, Remingtion 190, and a Savage Springfield 187M.

 

[Batty67]

1941 ByF Mauser-made Luger P-08 with black bakelite grips = so-called "Black Widow."

Stopped by the local pawn/gun shop a couple weeks ago, I was in a hurry but wanted to see if they had anything new or interesting before Xmas, was scanning the rifles behind the counter and saw a bullseye stock, hmmm...look a little higher...bolt action...look a little higher...tube fed...tag hanging from the tube it said 22LR...now I don’t need another 22lr...but, it's a WALNUT stock and I really like walnut stocks...so, I ask to see it, I have it in my hands, the walnut feels and looks awesome, took a quick look at the bluing, it in very nice shape but that WALNUT stock is just beautiful. Well by now I'm drooling all over that beautiful WALNUT stock...have I told you how much I like WALNUT wood on my guns...I really like WALNUT WOOD. I negotiated them down some, probably could have got them down more but they saw me drooling all over the stock, gave them a Benjamin to hold it till after Xmas. Went back last Thursday and picked that WALNUT stocked 22lr Marlin up and drooled all the way home.
To make this long drooling story shorter, I was checking it all out after I got it home, found out I got bamboozled again, I was looking at the beautiful WALNUT stock and drooling so much I overlooked the fact it was a 22MAG, I feel so ashamed of my inability to focus on details but not really
My New to Me XT 22MAG

Picked up a nm super Blackhawk 44 for a reasonable price
