I have the following:

Remington 40XB Thumbhole in .22BR, ditto in .243 Win, also one in .250 Savage. There is also one in .25-06 with a Fajen thumbhole stock (dumb thing is although it is a single-shot the stock has a floorplate.) Although I don't have it yet, there also is a 40XB thumbhole in .257 Roberts on the way. Oh I almost forgot, I have one in 6mm BR with the standard wood stock. Do I qualify for the single-shot club? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nothing except the time and opportunity to put it to use! I missed most of deer season this year due to galavantin' around the world, compliments of Uncle Sam.

Just one. A real pretty 1B Liberty 243. Factory Issue. Wish I hadn't sold the 10X Leupold awhile back, could've made it a neat vintage varminter.

Only wish it was a 25-06 Liberty.

I picked up my first single shot not long ago.

It is a limited run version. Ruger 1A 7.62x39mm in SS and walnut.
Soon, I will post a pic of it and my 100 yard target. Outstanding.
Did I mention how sweet the factory trigger is?

Never cared for the Ruger #1 finger lever or the styling of the various #1 stock configurations. So I have a Ruger #3 in 45-70. Love the straight grip.

A friend of mine had a Ruger #3 in 30-40 Krag. That thing kicked like a mule(20+ years ago) as I recall.
How does that 7Mag shoot?

Just one, one of the Zulu War era long lever Martini-Henrys recently shipped out of Nepal....Currently without a No.1, but looking hard at the Dakota Model 10.

Carbon, I recently picked up a Ruger Liberty #3 from a friend. I'm very happy with the feel but have yet to shoot it. Any suggestions on loads, etc?

I made all 5 of these rifles:
#1 405 Winchester on Action of my design similar to a Fraser
#2 The first rifle I ever made 25 years ago. I call it a Sharps 1876. Again my own design. Note the hammer coming straight out of the wood. It's in 40-70 Sharps straight and I probaly have shot 15,000 times.
#3 A rifle I built for my youngest boy. It's also a 40 cal and based on a 444 Marlin case.
#4 A 45 cal bullet muzzle loader. It shoots a 410 grain grease groove bullet and is loaded thru a false muzzle. It has a pop up tang sight and is based on the Alex Henry sporting rifles. It can shoot a 3" group at 200 yards.
#5 a Flntlock English style sporting rifle. .54 Caliber.
