I'm another who prefers the older stuff.
Most of my scattergunning the last few years has been with a 16ga double triggered SxS.
Most of the practice and plinking I do is with a 110+ year old Marlin 25-20WCF and a newer rebored Marlin in 38-55. Both shooting home cast bullets. Been playing with 1959 JC Higgans 51-L (Husky HVA action) 308 lately. Got 180 gr cast bullets up to 2350 with decent accuracy, the .310 groove dia. and worn and oversized throat took some playing to get there.
Both the deer I shot last fall fell to 250-3000s, one a 1953 M99R and the other a 1975 Ruger M77 Tang Safety. They may get the call if I draw the antelope tags I applied for in Wyoming this fall. An early M77 MkII 257 Robert has taken the lions share of my game the last several years though.
Currently only own one handgun, no plastic gun this one though. Again, cast bullets through a 1911 does everything I ask. Have been thinking I could make use of a 45 Colt Blackhawk though.
The AR just doesn't see much use.
