Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's your most recent firearm acquisition?

Model 70 Winchester Featherweight in 30-06. Bought off a forum member that listed it as used, but should have listed as “ new in box”. A beautiful rifle

Bergara approach in 25-06. Waiting on a bergara 280ai

Ruger American .243, along with 100 rounds ammo; won it at a Ducks Unlimited banquet. I've promised it to a grand-nephew next time I see him.

Pre64 Model 70 in 30-338 followed me home today... Learning more about the round now and trying to find ammo is a challenge. Debating reaming it to a true 300WM. It's on a 458 frame from 1960 so I think it should work pretty well.

Will likely replace the G19 for a 45 or milled 19X.

But this is my most recent girlfriend:

Not the most recent, but the most coveted.........

Remington Tac 14 on sale from PSA. Just in case.

And a case of buckshot.

Great gun.

Colt Huntsman 22, S&W K22, Marlin 30 30 mint, Rem 1148 12 ga, Mossberg 152, & Marlin model 60. All within the last two weeks. I have been busy! GW

Picked up another one of these since I wore out the old one:

I bought one in 20 gauge a few years ago. I let my boy shoot it first and he was about 8 at the time. I was just starting to tell him to hold on tight when he hit the trigger. It flew out of his hands and landed on on a rock pile. Went from new to obviously used in one shot. It has a few deep scratches in it from that be he was a good sport and shot it again. I need to find a good shell holder for it that keeps about 6 rounds next to the action. It stays loaded with #3 buckshot and brenneke slugs.

Damnations

Got one of the 16" ruger go wild compact 243s to be my new lion gun once the atf lets my suppressor out of jail. Its gonna wear a 1-6×24 leupold patrol 6hd. Also slapping together a .308 savage ultralite clone, only difference will be the barrel, a 16" carbon six barrel, which is the last part im waiting on.

Ammo has been my focus lately, local deals mostly.

Not a new gun but did get a brand new 7 mag Shilen barrel for a Savage rifle. Of course, haven't shot it yet.

Got a new Ruger M-77 Hawkeye Alaskan in .375 Ruger. Added a new Tract Toric 3-15x42 scope. Now, I need to find something and somewhere to hunt with it.

Been over 2 years since getting my last firearm, a mauser M18 6.5prc. I'm pretty confident I'ts my last acquisition.......this caliber is dang impressive.....deer just drop right there.

2 at the same purchase.
I purchased a Savage 22lr in a youth model to train my grandchildren with. Oldest is 5.5 and getting him ready for his 243 he will hopefully shoot a deer with this year if he confirms his accuracy.
And, I purchased a Ruger SR22 pistol for my wife.

And that’s all that matters Life is to short not to be HAPPY
