Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters What is your Loony Index?

If that's not a Purdy,
It sure is purdy.

DD, I hope you don’t use those elegant guns on those swamp porkers. It’d be like driving your Ferrari down a mud road. 😀

I took a VH Parker 20 and turned it into a tribute to the best bird dog anyone could ask for. This is Gunner's Gun bp diesel station locator
A Lefever Optimus 16

Wonderful pieces!

I do hunt with them on occasion, but not pigs. Quail mostly, a gentleman’s pastime. My dad taught me many years ago how to avoid damaging a fine scattergun. One of my primary bird guns is a Win 50 purchased in ‘63 as my Xmas gift. It has a small scratch in the receiver and a couple of petite marks on the stock, but otherwise looks new. Full size p’up couldn’t haul the critters it’s killed in one load. Because it’s an average Joe gun, much like the Ithaca 37 I do whack 4 legged critters with them.

Index? Well I have special ordered a rifle and then traded it for a new rifle before shooting it and then gone back and eventually bought it back again. Lol

Gotta try one of everything. Bought rifles because I had dies or ammo for it.

I am as loony as any of you I imagine...

And for some reason shotguns are just tools. Got a parkerized, synthetic Stevens 320 20 gauge and a crappy old single shot.

I wouldn't turn down a beautiful and expensive shotgun of course but there's just not the mystique for me that a rifle has.

About the same with handguns.

I don’t have much use for pistols.

Seems like there was another Gent that had that same bent.

So I heard, and there were rumors he was pretty handy with a rifle.

The chances of disclosing the amount of ammo etc. is "slim to not at all likely!"

Said i never had much use for one. Never Said I didn't know how to use one.

A good man, and a great shot. He had only one flaw, he chased crazy women. Was that character by chance any relation, Dan?

Then he found out pistols or more accurately, in his case, revolvers are sometimes the most useful firearms if you know how to use them.

Might be. My Ex was one I wish I’d never caught.

😂😂😂

Steve, rocks don’t count, sorry.

I’m puzzling about one possible aspect of this discussion. Does one get extra credit for shooting a muzzle loading cartridge rifle? As I recall some loony named Pope thought that up.

DD


PS: I have one BTW. It’s a Highwall with an octagon barrel, big assed Unertl scope and chambered for .38-55 basic brass. .40 caliber...

Went by the name of “Roy” IIRC 😮

Well said.

I am a general gun loony, though hunting rifles would rank first and hunting shotguns a very close second. (The only problem with shotguns is they don't come in as many different chamberings as rifles.)

But I also have decent array of handguns, and know how to use them.
