Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Bored with modern rifles...........

AWW come on you guys are used to it by now !!!! been a slow time this wnter,only got about 4" of snow cant go out and play with the snow toys !

I’m guessing you don’t really care for old lever actions, huh?🤔🤔🤔

That is an awesome collection! Simply amazing!

Springfield '03s and Win M70s are kinda not modern.

I traded off a super nice 03 springfield last week! made 4-17 the month we got into ww1,it still was in cosmolene,went to a military collector.

Man, thanks for the pictures. I’m in awe....

Don,

Your brother still have that 1895 with about 46 feet of barrel??? LOL! That’s a cool rifle!!!

One fun toy I have is an old, shooter grade Savage 1899F in .22 HP from 1918....which wouldn't shoot ANYTHING besides the .228' Sisk 70 grain bullets, which can be hard to find. It wouldn't shoot any .224 inch bullet, despite trying dozens of various weights and lengths at various velocities. It would keyhole any other bullet, .224" or .228" at any speed. Instead of selling it I lined the bore with a 1/10 twist Douglas .224" bore.

The gunsmith did an awesome job and it is impossible to tell that the original bore was drilled out and lined with a new barrel. It shoots several different bullets just fine now.

I just love these things! I like this old sporter style configuration whoever made it. I have 2 others. They are just fun. If I had any sense I’d load up cast bullet loads for em! If I could find the time to shoot em.

I've got a bunch of ammo for a Krag and nothing to shoot it in. Hasn't been a big priority but would love to shoot up that ammo someday dumping rocks across some canyon.

They excell at rock bustin’! 😁

Do you use Ballistol Bob? Your guns are all top notch, but also seem to have a happy glow about them.

Can't forget the little guys:




BRNO No.2, Winchester (Miroku) .22LR, Remington M12 .22LR

Or the big fellas:


.50 Browning from when I was "waist gunner for a day" on a B-25

Highly modified version of same:



Krag single shot conversion, .22 Maximum Lovell, built by Hervey Lovell his own self, circa 1937.

Equally impressive to your collection, is the facility you built to house it! My nomination for the Eighth Wonder of the World.
