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

I like my 110 year old Winchester 1903 22 auto and my 110 year old Winchester 1907 in 351 and if I can ever see well again I have the ammo I loaded in 351 to try out.

I inherited one of those from my father. He paid $1.50 for it in the '30s. The original "scout" rifle.

Don’t have the top one anymore. It’s in another friends safe now. But still have bottom two. Tack drivers they are!

Nice Krags kaywoodie. Of course I like the one in your friends safe best.

Nice Krags Woodie.

This thread is the cure for the common Creed!

Last Krag i had was a 1899 carbine,super nice shape,a Krag collector thought he needed more then i did. I still have a few trap door springfields, i hunted with when i was a kid. Don

My cure for modern rifle boredom has always been the model 38 and 96 Swede Mauser.
Beautiful craftsmanship, wonderful accuracy and a very balanced cartridge.

I wish I'd have bought a Ijungman 42 when they were affordable...

Thanks fellas. I wish I had more time to shoot them. Like I said earlier I would be loading cast bullits for them. I’m off this morning to mend fences.

A really nice Norwegian Krag in that 6.5 x 55 would be fun. But your right, those Swedish Mausers are very nice. Rumor had it although I never saw it, than one of my old hunting buds/gunsmiths rebarrelled a ‘95 Winchester into a 6.5 x 55! That would be a hoot! Originally a 30/06. He’s been gone about 7 years now.

Who did you pizz off now???

I got lucky. We found cow hwy and stopped up that hole! Son in law and daughter did most of the hard stuff. I got chainsaw and grandkids to help me clear cedars out of the fence and ROW. Stopped up additional locales too! Damn 100+ y o fence.

Shiloh Sharps and bp are never boring. MB

Indy, I have that exact same rifle, also bought by my father back in the 20s or 30s. It's one I'll never sell.

I'm about to get my 1934 Springfield '03 rebored to the circa 1905 9.3x62 Mauser. I'm having a 1918 Springfield rebarreled to .256 Newton. And the icing is going to be the 9.5x57 project.
That'll hold me on old for a little while, as long as I keep working the .270, .257 Bob, 6.5x55, 7x57, 8x57, 30-30, 35 Rem, 35 Whelen, and that old 30 Gov't 06 on the side.
Jumping forward a few decades I have some .243s and a .358 Win, and a .223 Rem.
I do have a .270 WSM, but that's about it for new stuff in the last 50 years or so - don't feel like I lack for anything...
Cheers,
Rex

Another old levergun.

This one ain't too modern. 1949 M70 in '06.

Got one of those, Mine is a 30Gov't06 from 1937 won in a big buck contest by my grandfather. Great old rifle and amazingly accurate with Hornady 150gr SP Interlocks and IMR 4350. or H4350 and 180gr SP's.
