Calibres you'd like to own

[Aussie_hunter_JD]

Curious if guys here have any calibres or guns they would love to own one day.

For me it's a double in either 9.3x74r or 450-400 NE. The latter is my preference but really don't think I'd have more than one or two opportunities in my life to use it.

A 404 Jeffery would be the other (bolt version of a 450-400NE).

A Rigby rifle is at the top of the list for me but I'm unlikely to have a spare $10-20k anytime soon. A Brno ZG47 in original condition would be my second choice.

What about other folks?

Hard to argue with the history of those doubles, they are gorgeous guns!

I have had my eye on a weatherby mark v in 257 for as long as I can remember, just some attraction to the 25 for me! A couple 25-06’s already, why not have a hot rodded one too?

 

[p_ham]

.348win and .405win in the accompanying lever guns.

 

[Nick87]

35 whelen
45-70
257 wby
22 hornet
50 flintock

 

[BrentD]

.38-50 and maybe 50-70.

 

[rwc101]

A 30mm off an A-10.

 

[Deleted member 20812]

Maybe a nice 20 gauge SxS.

 

[Cogreeny]

.22-250AI in an HS precision VAR rifle

 

[VOLhunter]

375 H&H... left hand

 

[turbobrick]

I'm looking forward to 8.6 Blackout once it gets SAAMI spec, otherwise I've tried most of the ones that interest me.

Ran into an old friend on the hill today. Shoots a .300 H&H, old Model 700 Remington and still shoots his stash of Winchester Silver Tips. Was glad to see him today. mtmuley

The .404 Jeffery has always intrigued me. But pretty much any of the old classic dangerous game cartridges in an old worn bolt or fancy double.

If it were to happen, it would be another firearm that I’m “not” using enough! But,to fill in the blanks.... it would be a quality, no frills, modern double rifle, probably in 470 Nitro. memtb

 

[D4570]

A 404 Jeffery only necked down to 8mm= AKA 8mm RUM.

 

[SD_Prairie_Goat]

For me 16 gauge either in an over under, or auto. Maybe that Browning A5 in sweet sixteen

 

[choc dogs]

I’d like a 28 gauge. Don’t need it, but if one found its way home with me I’d also like a double rifle. Make mine 45-70

 

[Summitthunting]

I don’t know why but a Merkel .410/28ga combo.

 

[BrentD]

I'm looking for just the right Darne 12 or 16 gauge - in case anyone has one that they want to re-home.

 

[Sawtooth]

Maybe a nice 20 gauge SxS.

Is that 16 ga. getting too heavy for you? If so, let me know and I will find a home for it.

I'm more worried about wearing it out.....
