A .270 Win. Can't imagine why anyone would be seen using one of those...

Not bizarre, but the 303 british enfield in Maine.
I hunted with a mossberg500 Muzzleloader barrel for a little bit. Mine's the only one I've seen in the woods.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

The woods and the water recharge my batteries.

I shot my first deer with a Winchester 94, 30-30. The serial number indicates that it was manufactured in the late 1940's. Not all that old really, but the oldest that I've used.
Friend has a 1903 Springfield 30-06 and German WW-II 8mm Mauser. I don't think he's hunted with either.

I shot a bison in Colorado with a .45-caliber muzzleloading rifle built in the early 1800s in Scotland. One shot with a paper-patched 500-grain cast bullet at 50 yards killed it in its tracks.

Met a guy on trail during elk season carrying a Chinese SKS bayonet and all. At that time I had only seen FMJ 7.62X39 for sale.

When I lived in deep east Texas for a couple of years in the 1970s, I worked out in the woods just about every day. During squirrel season, I think I saw just about every variety of rifle or shotgun that could possibly be used to harvest a squirrel. I have no idea what many of them were--never saw them before nor have I seen them since. I suspect that it would have been pretty much the same east of the Sabine River over in Louisiana. I'm sure that all of those old guys are dead, now, but they were surely a colorful lot!

Lever Action Winchester in 45/70 out on the Westend near Forks,WA.
Owner of rifle stated if he shot an elk out of season the game warden wouldn't even come out to check as he would think some logger was blowing stumps with High Exlosives.

Elderly black fellow hunted back yard squirrels for the pot with a 1873 Springfield Trapdoor, loaded with 410 shells.

An original Smith carbine was about the oddest rifle I've ever hunted with. I only took it once. I figured that was a bit more of a handicap than I was willing to accept while deer hunting.

I once met a guy carrying a Barret 98B. He was red-faced, pouring sweat and gasping for breath like he had been running. Since I was coming out of the woods for the day and now I was a bit curious, I noted that I thought he had a little bit too much gun for whitetail in woods like this and he said it was his first year hunting and the salesman had indicated this was one of the best guns, when he said he wanted the best, etc etc.
I had to fight not bursting out laughing, but I really don't like to discourage attitudes so I told him that he might want to get a lighter rifle and showed him mine and told him what the Barret was really for.
I hope he did and I hope he didn't have a heart attack lugging that around.
