Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Do you have a 25. 30 and 35 caliber combo

I've got a 257wby, 2X 300 savage, 2 30/30s, 7 30/06s, and a Whelen. The Colonel gets the most use but I like them all. A good friend swears that a man can never have too many 22s or 30/06s, I think he's onto something.

Let me think -

Remington 783 with swap barrels, .30-06 & .25-06

Remington 700 completely blueprinted, custom marvel in .257 Roberts Ackley Improved (for some reason this is my third rifle in this chambering, and the second on this action, which I consider my favorite cartridge.)

Remington 700 with swap barrels, .308 Winchester, .22-250 Remington and .22-250 Ackley

Garand in .30-06

Browning M-95 also in .30-06

A really peachy keen .35-348 Winchester Ackley Improved on a Siamese Mauser

One Browning M-71 Carbine in .348 Winchester - within 0.010" of being a .35, so close enough for government work.

Contender pistols with .30-30 and .30 Herrett barrels, and that palm pounding, knuckle busting, "Oh my gosh, do you know you're bleeding?" .357 Herrett. Proving a fool and his money are soon parted.

I skipped the 35 and went 375 but I would like to have a 35 Whelen.

250 Savage







300 Savage






35 Whelen

25-06 Remington 700, M77 flatbolt .308, .358BLR, 35Whelan Rem Classic. But mostly now I use one of my 7/08's.

I have a few:

.25-20, .32-20 and .357 Magnum.

.250 Savage, .30-40 Krag and .35 Remington.

.257 Roberts (3), .308 Winchester, and .358 Winchester.

.25-06, .30-06 and .35 Whelen.

.257 Weatherby, .300 Winchester Magnum, .358 Norma Magnum.

Also the metric version:

6.5x55, 8x57 and 9.3x62.

Guess I'm just not good at having even intervals. 22, 24, 26, 27, 30, 33, 37..

I guess my 27 is the 28 and my 33 is the 35. Or maybe my 37 is my 35.

Had to think about this a bit but here they are:

25-35, 30-30 and 35 Rem for the leveguns

25 Souper, .308 and .350 Rem in short action Remingtons

25/06, 30/06 and 35 Whelen though the Whelen is soon to go along with a few others that I no longer use regularly.

Perhaps I should add a .358 Hawkeye to this pair, but for now I have a small ring Mauser '98 German Guild rifle in 9x57MM

Downsizing has left me with a 257Roberts, 7/08, 7x57R/12ga and a 358Winchester for big game rifes. If I got really serious, I could get it down to the 257Rob. and 358Win.

There is also a RAR in 30/06 as a loaner gun.

I got askeerd of the big bores, what with them maybe over penetrating. Sold all that stuff. Even the new High Wall. All I have now is the RF BB gun. -sniff- Probably won't go to Africa now.
