We'll I have a 250 savage. A 300 savage and a 35 whelen
Does anybody else have the same caliber combo and if so what is it?

Just like yours plus a 6.5x55, a 280 Rem, and a 358 Win. just in case!

I've got matching 308 and 376 Steyr's, down to the mounts and rings.

Don't have a .25 of any flavor...Never have for some reason.

Mike

257W, 300wsm & 30.06, 35 Whelen & .358 Win.

I used to have a 257 mk5.
I'll build a 25-08 one day...possibly an about in a edge.

Yep. I have;

1 25 in a .257 Roberts Kimber Classic
4 300s in 30-06, 300 WSM, 300 WM, and 300 H&H Mag
2 35s in 358 Win and 358 Norma Mag.

I think I've got it covered.

donsm70

243, 7x57, & .358....is my 'combo', I guess...I've got 308s, '06s, 30-30s....just out of 25-06s right now.

25 Remington, 257 Roberts, 30 Remington, 30-30, 30-40, 308, 300 H&H, 35 Whelen.

.250 Savage, .25-06, .30 carbine, .300 BO, .30-30, .30-40, .300 Savage .30-06, .300 H&H, .358 Win and .35 Whelen for me. I'm wanting to add a Bob and Norma if the right deals ever come along.

How about a 25/20 a 30/30 and a 35 Remington?

I've always thought a .25-20 would be neat but never made it happen. Love the .358 Winchester, and have various .30s. I'll likely get a .356 before anything .25 though.

I have 250/3000. 300 savage and 35 rem.

Doc

Yes

I've got the 'trio' in a pair of Sevens for the '5's (250 and 358) as well as M77s in both 30s (30-06 and 358 Norma). Got no '20' or '40' but do have several 45s.

My Set:
250 Savage (700 Classic)
30/30 (Savage 99), 300 Savage (700 Classic), .308 (Savage 99 and Kimber Montana)
350 Rem Mag (700 Classic)

.250 Savage (c. 1985 Ruger M77RL Ultralight, purchased new)
.257 Roberts (c.2013 Browning A-Bolt II Medallion, raffle prize)
.30/30 (c.1975 Marlin 336c, gift from parents in 1976)
.30-'06 (c.1987 Ruger No.1B, purchased new)



.357 Magnum (c.1980 Ruger Security Six, 6" Stainless, gift from father)


No .35 caliber rifles, though.....

Why?

I have a .375 H&H

Play your looney cards; four 375s didn't prevent the need for 35s.

That's probably true. I have had .35 caliber rifles in the past -all based on Model 1903 Springfield actions with .35 Whelen barrels screwed in to them. I should have kept at least one of them!!

Well, lets see...I don't have a .25, but I can cover others...
.223, .270, .308, .30-06, .323, .35 (358 win and the Colonel's),
and a .458...that is all for now.

...yep...and I think the calibers are a perfect complement...

.257 Weatherby Remington 700 CDL for long range....

.308 Winchester Remington Model Seven Stainless/Synthetic all-around shooter

.350 Remington Magnum Remington Model 7KS heavy hitter..

I have several other rifles in .308 and .350 but those are the two I use the most for hunting... I was hoping to buy a .250 Savage 7KS from one of my friends but he sold it before I knew he wanted to part with it...

Bob

.358 Win


All in Rugers Hawkeye/MkII

250 Savage, 308 Winchester, and 35 Remington.


and an 06.

25. 30 and 35 combo

25 acp, 30-30, and 38 special.

That combo will make you a legend in Durham.

Yes...almost !

25-06
30-06, 300wm
36 calibre....9.3x62

Yes. I have the .250 Savage and the .35 Whelen.

Among several .30 calibers [.30 carbine, .308 Win,.30-06 [5], .308 Norma (2)] the .30-06 remains my favorite. With the first two choices, a heavy bullet .308 would be easier to match trajectories with [if that is an interest].

257 Roberts

308, 30-06, 300 Win

35 Whelen

A true sign of loony would be breaking it down into 0.025's

For example....
20vartag, 225 win, 250sav, 275rigby, 300anything, 325wsm, 350g&h, 375h&h, 400whelen, 425wr, 450ne, 475turnbull, 500ne.

That level of rifle loony probably requires medication, though....

I have a 25 and 35 true combo. It is a Sako short action with a 257 Roberts barrel and a spare 358 Winchester barrel. Both shoot great but I admit the 257 barrel stays attached more often than not. With that combo and the way I hunt, I didn't think I needed a 30 cal.

250-3000, 257,Roberts.
308, 30-06, 300Bee
357 magnum revolvers.

My "big" bore is a wee 444.

I don't have a need for such, but if I did sometime, I would get what I think of as the American Trinity:

25-06

35 Whelen

Agreed I need help, what type of Medication should I take.

257 Roberts; Remington Model 30S, FN Custom
30-06; Remington Model 30 Express, Husqvarna 640, M1 Garand,
35 Remington; Marlin 336 '61

I've got a 25-06 and a 257 roy. I have 30-06, 30-30, and 7.62X39, and 35 remington.

I have two 250 savages for the 25's. My thirties are a 30 Newton, a 300 H&H, and a 300 win Mag. I don't have anything in 35 but would love to find a 35 Newton. I do have a 375 H&H and that had to count for something, right?

I have a mess of Ruger #1's, ranging from .218 Bee through .475 Turnbull.

I've got a 257wby, 2X 300 savage, 2 30/30s, 7 30/06s, and a Whelen. The Colonel gets the most use but I like them all. A good friend swears that a man can never have too many 22s or 30/06s, I think he's onto something.

Let me think -

Remington 783 with swap barrels, .30-06 & .25-06

Remington 700 completely blueprinted, custom marvel in .257 Roberts Ackley Improved (for some reason this is my third rifle in this chambering, and the second on this action, which I consider my favorite cartridge.)

Remington 700 with swap barrels, .308 Winchester, .22-250 Remington and .22-250 Ackley

Garand in .30-06

Browning M-95 also in .30-06

A really peachy keen .35-348 Winchester Ackley Improved on a Siamese Mauser

One Browning M-71 Carbine in .348 Winchester - within 0.010" of being a .35, so close enough for government work.

Contender pistols with .30-30 and .30 Herrett barrels, and that palm pounding, knuckle busting, "Oh my gosh, do you know you're bleeding?" .357 Herrett. Proving a fool and his money are soon parted.

I skipped the 35 and went 375 but I would like to have a 35 Whelen.

250 Savage







300 Savage






35 Whelen

25-06 Remington 700, M77 flatbolt .308, .358BLR, 35Whelan Rem Classic. But mostly now I use one of my 7/08's.

I have a few:

.25-20, .32-20 and .357 Magnum.

.250 Savage, .30-40 Krag and .35 Remington.

.257 Roberts (3), .308 Winchester, and .358 Winchester.

.25-06, .30-06 and .35 Whelen.

.257 Weatherby, .300 Winchester Magnum, .358 Norma Magnum.

Also the metric version:

6.5x55, 8x57 and 9.3x62.

Guess I'm just not good at having even intervals. 22, 24, 26, 27, 30, 33, 37..

I guess my 27 is the 28 and my 33 is the 35. Or maybe my 37 is my 35.

Had to think about this a bit but here they are:

25-35, 30-30 and 35 Rem for the leveguns

25 Souper, .308 and .350 Rem in short action Remingtons

25/06, 30/06 and 35 Whelen though the Whelen is soon to go along with a few others that I no longer use regularly.

Perhaps I should add a .358 Hawkeye to this pair, but for now I have a small ring Mauser '98 German Guild rifle in 9x57MM

Downsizing has left me with a 257Roberts, 7/08, 7x57R/12ga and a 358Winchester for big game rifes. If I got really serious, I could get it down to the 257Rob. and 358Win.

There is also a RAR in 30/06 as a loaner gun.

I got askeerd of the big bores, what with them maybe over penetrating. Sold all that stuff. Even the new High Wall. All I have now is the RF BB gun. -sniff- Probably won't go to Africa now.

Jeez, this thread lead me to realized I'm seriously lacking in the .30 arena.

keeping it simple with my Remington 14's in 25 Rem, 30 Rem, 35 Rem, and the 32 Rem to boot.

I have a 25-06 FN Mauser

.308 and the Mauser .35 see the most action. Bought the .35 as a "beater" and fell in love with it.

Have a Flaigs custom in .375 H&H that was willed to me by a former boss. The Fajen stock it was in was broken, so it temporarily resides in a 798 stock until I can afford an appropriate walnut stock for it. Shot one Pa whitetail with it "just because"....

As far as the 25's. My favorite is my old .25-06.. Have a .250 Savage, but only keep it because it was my father in laws..

Lots of .30's from the old .30-30 thought the 300 Wea.

No 35 but have both a .340 and .375 H & H>..

I favor a 223, 243, 257, 264, 284, 308, & 338 cal combo.
