Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR When is it time to say enough is enough.....

I love my .50-90 Shiloh. The big guns are fun with black powder

Never sell. Take them all with you in the end.

Glad to see the 99 in the group. My favorites!!

The 99 is a .300 savage and I also had a .22 HP when I was a kid but it disappeared when I was in the service.
The .444 Marlin short tube second from the top I carried when I Kayaked the Yukon river in 2000 after I retired. It kept the hunger away
The .44-77 forth from the right is my favorite hunting rifle as well as the trapdoor Carbine.
The 50-2.5 and the .45-2.4 are my go to for the matches and I still use the .50-2.5 when the conditions get tough at the Quigley and the Baker MT big hill. It never let me down. The 400 rounds I carry for the .50 are empty when I go home.
All the rifles have a special place with me and I wont part with them till I go under.

Did the same thing starting ten years back! I've got one 50/90 left with a new Badger barrel! Wish it was gone! Just could not sit at the loading bench akin to what I could 30 years back. Those rifles keep you 'humping' if you're gonna shoot them; takes more work than many realize! Now...I shoot my 6.5 x 47 Lapau and the 6MM Dasher. No recoil and accuracy many wouldn't believe! Hey....quit humping that snow coming soon. We don't need to do sh.t like onto that any more! Take care!

I turned 80 this summer, and have already down sized. If you have kin that would like certain ones, get them to them now. If you have a wife, save her the frustration of what to do with them after you passed.

I missed several family heirlooms after my brother's wife sold them after he passes.

Otherwise they will be auctioned off with the estate if the executor doesn't care

I have 5 years on you but I'm only 26 between the ears and I still shoot them all but more of the lighter calibers since I had retina separation twice now shooting the large capacity shells. Going in later today to see what they can do to fix the eyes so I can see better again.
Those rifles already have the finger prints on them on who want them. The whole clan shoots except my Wife. She is my coach and spotter.

Good to see you still looking down at the grass my friend. Hope all is well on your end.
I see that you're down sizing to the girly calibers LOL so am I LOL.
I have 2 .38-50's already in these last two years

Stay well Rick.
