That would be a great list if you did 12 barrels and 1 Encore frame.....

I knew I [bleep] up!

All you need is an Encore. Slap QD mounts on each tube and you could run 1 scope also.

If you had an old B&L Bal-Var set up, you would never have to re-zero, just swap the scope and go.

Jeff

Good thinking.

Too bad it doesn't include a "real" big bore. 338? That's only fart and a wish wider than 30-06.

steelie, being sarcastic or are you an encore fan?

338 Ultra Mag is some bad medicine...

Who isn't an encore fan?

Calvin,

Do you dig the 25-06AI for lack of trimming? Or do you get a bit more speed? Mine is going to need a new tube soon and I was curious what you get with the 100's.

Thanks for making me abandon the 3 gun idea.


Travis

Got twelve of em.........all in 30/06

I'll bet you could get in on TV huntin with a 12 Encore battery.

Mine is in the shop right now for cerekote and I'll have some #'s for you when it gets back. Haven't shot it much. I'm going to go for 3500-3600 with 100's.

11. Marlin 1894 Cowboy .45 Colt, still like to shoot CAS
12. Canela's .54 caliber muzzleloading flintlock, the ultimate EOTWAWKI rifle for when there's no ammo, brass, primers, etc.

I'd be interested in hearing what it does. 24" tube?


Travis

23"

I'll pm you with the results of my load work up.

Not a varmint hunter so...

1. 10/22
2. 12-ga Citori O/U (upland FW))
3. 12-ga turkey gun
4. AR15 .223 M4gery
5. M700P (fast-twist heavy) .223 (will be .223AI next)
6. 7mm-08 sporter
7. 30-06 sporter
8. .358 Model 7
9. .325 WSM Montana
10. 300 WM Sendero (will probably be a big 7mm next)
11. .338 WM sporter
12. A lever gun

Honestly I'd be more interested in a list of what scopes people had and why...

Scopes are easy..

1. 6x42 Leupold
2. 6x42 Leupold
3. 6x42 Leupold
4. 6x42 Leupold
5. 6x42 Leupold
6. 6x42 Leupold
7. 6x42 Leupold
8. 6x42 Leupold
9. 6x42 Leupold
10.6x42 Leupold
11.6x42 Leupold
12.3.5-10x42 Sightron

Leupold VXII 2-7X33
Leupold VXII 2-7X33
Leupold Vari-X III 1.5-5X20
Leupold M8 3X

Might like to add a VXIII 2.5-8X36 one day.

When I'm all done screwin around and horse trading and wildcatting, I'll probably have the safe stocked as follows:

1. Ruger 10/22
Small game, plinking fun.
2. NEF Ultra varmint Handi Rifle .223
Small to medium game.
3. Remington 700 Alaskan Ti .270 Win
Varmints to the largest ungulates, long range shooting, mountains and rough conditions
4. Savage Scout 10FCM .308
'Lopes to moose, truck gun, everyone should own one 7.62 NATO
5. CZ 550 .375 H&H
Mulies to largest of DG, (Plus, you never know when you're gonna win that Safari at the next SCI banquet) Everyone should own a gun that makes you curse, spit, shake your head, and talk loud for a couple days after you shoot it.
6. Marlin 1895 XLR 45-70
Because you have to have at least one "Big Bore" and one lever. Might as well be both and a classic.
7. Remington 870 12 Ga. (Slug and Choke)
Birds and clays. And because you can�t use a rifle in all states.
8. Knight KP1 SS .50calx209 ML
Exposed hammer, sealed action, 209 primer, low maintenance, stainless muzzle loader.
9. Ruger Mark III Model 22/45 KP678HMK3
Everyone should have a .22 pistol if they want to be good with their bigger handguns.
10. Springfield XD 40
CCW, HD, and great reviews from all of my friends that own one.

So with your 12 gun battery do you go deep into the bush,shoot twice and eat what you shoot?

sidepass

If you take 2 12 gun batteries, in series, will I get a 24 gun battery?

but are nearly safe queens and only get to play on special occassions. I also have about 10 shotguns, 4-5 22 LRs and 7 handguns that get to play sometimes.

This is fun, but tough to cut the numbers down.

If you are talking 12 centerfire rifles;.223 Montana,.223 RRA 16"Mid FT,.250 Savage 1899 TD, .257 Roberts Montana, .30-06 Montana,.30-06 SS FW,.308 Norma FN 98,.338 M70 SS, .357 Mag 1892 Win or B92, .35 Whelen FN K98 Mauser, .375 Talkeetna
.45-70 1886 Ultra Lightweight. (that felt good)

If 12 includes Rimfires:10-22 HB, Ruger 77-22 bolt,.22Mag/20ga
Savage 24D, 223 Montana,.223 RRA 16"Mid FT,.250 Savage 1899 TD,.30-06 Montana,.30-06 SS FW,.308 Norma FN 98,.338 M70 SS, .357 Mag 1892 Win or B92,.375 Talkeetna.

If 12 includes shotguns: 10-22 HB, Ruger 77-22 bolt,.22Mag/20ga
Savage 24D, 20 gauge Ithaca 37 with barrels, 12 Gauge Ithaca 37 with barrels, 223 Montana,.223 RRA 16"Mid FT,30-06 Montana,.30-06 SS FW,338 M70 SS, .357 Mag 1892 Win or B92,

If 12 included handguns; 38 S&W Bodyguard, .22Mag 651, .357 Mag Taurus Ti Tracker,10-22 HB,.22Mag/20ga Savage 24D, 12 Gauge Ithaca 37 with barrels,.223 RRA 16"Mid FT,.30-06 SS FW,338 M70 SS, .357 Mag 1892 Win or B92,

Now if I could have 12 handguns, 12 rimfire rifles and 12 shotguns along with the 12 centerfires we would be closer to reality.

Guess I have to "cull" the herd if I want to play by the rules.LOL.

Forgot your 8 mag is built off a Ruger Stew.Cool choice.

Yeah, I just love that rifle since I changed it. Only draw back is I have to seat the bullet 1/8" deeper than normal O.A.L of the 8 mag. but the case has so much room and it sure does not hurt accuracy or velocity, Average with 220's is 2840 and shoots 3 shots into an 1" at 100 yrds.
I am very happy with it. Now if I could only get something in my sights i would be happy. Plan on going bear hunting this spring(unless the wife kiboshes this idea again, they seem to have a way of doing this.)
Sorry for the late reply as I went home from work early yesterday. Stew
