Just looking again at my list above. My brain was weak when I was young, but now... Ugghh... I'm lucky to remember my own name and where I live. But I just remembered at least one I forgot, and that would be the one I've used to kill a couple dozen coyotes with the last two months - the 6-284.

Full blown CRS sucks...

My list was once like your....I have a good friend (total a55 hole) I call my gun consultant. He worked through my troubles and reasoned with me as to why I have too many guns that do the same thing, now every time I have the urge to buy a new caliber I call him and he talks me out of It...... Then I go buy a new rifle that I already have, due to that I now have eighteen 22 rifles, several 17 hmrs and at least 2 of almost all my guns and several I have 3 of.....

I really want a .17 fireball, I do I do I do!!!!!

 

[rdneckride]

.22lr for plinking and rabbits
.40 S&W for personal defence
Bow for deer/elk/bear.....
Always looking for soemthing new and to rebuild my collection but not as big as one of the lists above..

 

[mbuckner]

.338-.378 Weatherby Magnum
down to a .22 short .........

No .17FB yet? Now that's a hole that needs filled right there! I've been shooting the Mach IV since waaaaaaaaay before the factory version came out. And it would be one of the very last ones to go, if it came down to it. For everything from ground squirrels to coyotes, it is just plain too much fun to shoot!

My custom gun money doesn't exist anymore. So, my list won't be growing anytime soon. Shrinking again, more likely. But if somebody chambers a decent looking rifle for the new .17 Hornady Hornet, I'll prollly have to have one. One of my buddies already has the reamer for it and is building himself a really nice custom in it on a BAT SVT, but, like I said, my custom money is all dried up at the moment...

Savage is going to chamber it in their 25 lightweight Varminter T for 2012. If I get my shit together and work on my FFL I may have to get me one as a reward to myself..... Savage is starting to chamber a lot of wildcat stuff lately and some of the older rounds also, I saw that they are chambering the .222 as a cataloged offer, not many companies will do that anymore..

 

[DAA]

Yeah I know about the M25. But, I said a "decent" looking rifle .

[stimmie]

I just have a few. No where near the long list of some.

.22 LR (Mossberg Plinkster 702)
.270 Winchester (Remington 7600)
7.62x54R (Mosin-Nagant M44)
7.62x39 (Yugo SKS)
12 ga. (Mossberg 535 ATS)

And a .44 Mag Revolver (Ruger Super BlackHawk)

I want more... I always want more... What's next? Possibly a .308Win or a 9mm.... I'm very indecisive when it comes to guns. I just got the SKS.... it's fun so far. Cleaning cosmoline wasn't so fun... harder on that then it was on the Mosin.

I have a hard time buying guns. It gives me a good excuse to go over to my dads and talk guns with him before I borrow something. Plus he has nicer stuff than I can afford anyway. I'm pretty spoiled.
