It might just be the perfect cartridge for all North American game. I once read a piece by the editor of American Rifleman that pretty much said the same thing. "All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth." – Robert E. Lee

And here is me thinking that your big gay easter bunny costume festooned with .280 shells would be just smashing when you attend the next gay mardi gras. p!ss off raisin. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Shiloh Sharps - bought off the rack in Big Timber as a No. 3 Sporter in 45-90 with 32" heavy barrel and standard wood. After shooting it for a couple of years, had it re-stocked in extra fancy, AA finish, accent line cheek piece, bedded forend w/ ebony tip, ebony pistol grip, bone & charcoal pack color case hardening, and shortened the barrel to 28". I guess now it's a Saddle Rifle:

Laguna Campfire Regular L Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 1,905	Originally Posted by the_shootist Probably my favourite, though not the one I hunt with the most, and not even the one I shoot the most is a Ruger #1 in 405 Winchester topped with a Leupy 2-7X33 VX-II. Shoots really accurately, and hammers both ends if you want to chase a 300 grainer downrange at 2500 fps. And here's a 100 yard group I shot with hunting speed ammo as above. For purely nostalgia, it would have to be the 1948 Browning pump 22LR that Mom gave to Dad for his birthday the year they got married. He willed it to me. I have no idea how many bullets have been chased out the muzzle on that one, but Dad told me that he used to buy a brick every payday (2 weeks). Still light matches with it. There is mysticism in a beautiful single shot rifle.

I love all of 'em, but that's what seems to get grabbed when I reach into the safe.

stumpman Campfire Regular S Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 903 NE, FL	I just shot me new favorite rifle. I bought this Model 7 308 a while back and topped with a new Zeiss 4.5-14x50mm. It shoots factory ammo great better then any model 7 I have owned and it looks good with it's new stock on it. Light weight and a great shooter can't beat it. Not the greatest pic but the only one i have right now. Attached Images Model 7.jpg (58.65 KB, 307 downloads) Last edited by stumpman; 12/29/12.
