I think the .257 Roberts, 6.5x55 and 7x57 should be included in any Looney's battery and probably a 6.5 Creedmoor to keep up with modern times. And maybe a .250 Savage and a couple of more Euro cartridges like 7x64, 6.5x57 etc. And rifle wise, there should be at least one single shot rifle included.
Yep. You ain't a loony without a 6.5X55 Jerry

Your local firearms emporium has your phone number on speed-dial. At one point, 3 of them did, and another the gun counter people recognized my voice on the phone before I said who was calling. I am trying to slow down a bit. (I didn't say I was succeeding.) Tom

That's a sign!
I have theoretically slowed down too, Sold quite a few rifles this summer, primarily those I hadn't shot in years--and wasn't likely to, such as my .416 Rigby.
My "rifle bank account swelled--until I bought three in one week, including a 7x57R drilling....

If you decide your stable needs cleaning out, do a good job of it, and six months later it is again overflowing- you might qualify..

A rifle loony should have at least 1 walking varmint rifle(L461 Vixen)
A rifle loony should have at least 1 varmint rifle(big heavy 22-250 or such)
A rifle loony should have at least 1 243 in some type and heavily resist 6.5 manbun.

No, never have held or shot a 99 or a Winchester lever gun.
But I have a Marlin 1894 in 41 mag
and a Henry big boy in 327. Both altered with aftermarket aperture sights
No Creeds of any caliber, but have three 260 Rems.
No Enfields, but there is a Springfield 03 in the back.
A couple wildcats....22-243 AI, and 6-284
You left the Ruger #1 off your list. Every aspiring Looney needs a #1. Mine is 7mm STW.
Oh and 22 LR, yes there is the requisite 10-22. And the looney qualifier is a Rem 572 pump.
Yeah there are handgun loonies as well.
No 9mm, 38, or 357.
But you might find four different Ruger revolvers in 327
and again in 41 mag

It's not the rifles you have, but the rifles you've owned--both in the so-called "real world," and in your mind.

If you have 900 pieces of brass for a .25-20 Win., but only one rifle so chambered....you might be.
I am..........disturbed.

Yep! Learned that one....
However, some years ago I bought several boxes of unfired .280 H&H brass, on the off-chance I'd run into an original rifle in good enough shape. But a decade later had not, so sent it along to another rifle loony....

I was coming to my senses for a while...when we knew for sure we were moving to South Carolina I took most of my guns and all my reloading stuff out to my sons in Missouri. I only kept the twelve or fourteen long guns and 25 or 30 handguns I feel is a basic selection. It’s been about six month...I’ve only bought one more gun since arriving here and only have three on the current “must get” list as well as a few “hhmmmm’s”
I can do this....I know I can.
I’ve always felt that every real American male should have one firearm for every year of his age.

Currently in Colorado, their is an estate of over 2000 firearms being sold off a bit at a time. Over 1300 of them are bolt action rifles. A dealer is selling them for the estate a 10-20 at a time.
That's loonyism......
