Son came over today to give me a hand with some things and started looking at my single shot rifles. Guess i didn't remember how many I had accumaled over the years. Have the first two I got years ago from my grandfather, a cut down 84 Springfield and a 1878 Sharps "Old Reliable" falling block. He gave me a couple of large canvas bags filled with inside primed 45-70 BP cartridges. This was like giving a 14 yr. old the key to the candy store. Shot up several hundred of them through the 84 Springfield. Thankfull I kept a 100 or so and didn't shoot them up.

This started me with accumalating SS CFs for hunting and varmit shooting. Now have added to the above with the following: Sav. 219s a 30-30 and a .22 Hornet opened to a K Hornet, 85 Win. 38-55, Ruger No. 1 45-70 (retirement gift 23 yrs ago) and a TC Hunter 87 with both a 30-06 & 22-250 barrel setups. None of these save the Sharps are collectors, just fun rifles to both shoot and hunt with. Now if I could just get my NEF .22rf to shoot more accurately I'd have it made.

My SS battery is very small, A Ruger #1V in 220 Swift, and an old C Sharps 45-120, but a couple yotes have fallen to the Swift, and a dozen or so deer and pigs didn't like the 540 gn. Paul Jones creedmoor bullet from the Sharp's.

Have a Savage 219 in .25-20 with a .410 barrel from a 220, a T-C G2 Carbine with .22 WRM, .410, and .25-35 barrels, a C. Sharps 1885 high wall replica in .44-40, original Win High walls in .38-40 and .30-40, original Low Walls in .25-20 WCF and .22WRF, Ruger #1s in .30-40 (1S) and .243 (1A), and a Win Model 68 in .22 WRF. Think that's all!

Still working on my toy collection, added a Win 1885 Safari in .300H&H to it yesterday. That puts me at two Browning 1885's, one is a .223 highwall, the other was a 22-250, been converted to 32-40.
Then there are two Rugers, one is a .32-30rem with a Canjar, the other is a 1H in 450-400NE.
And the other is a Stevens 044-1/2 built into a .218bee.
And a H&H .300rook
The 32-30 and the 32-40 and the bee have RKS octagons on them.

209jones, I envy you your .300 Sherwood H&H. Is it a hammer or hammerless break-action gun, or a falling block? There was recently an article in either "Rifle" or "Handloader" on that cartridge. A good one for sure!

I have a TCR with 223, 243, 7mm Mag, 30-06, and 12ga slug, a sportered RB in 43Spanish, a RB with 34" 45-3 1/4, Martini Enfield 22lr conv, #3 in 45-70, #3 w/#1 270bbl and wood, #3 w/#1 22-250 BC stock, #1 338, #1 SS /lam 416 Rigby, and 2 NEF 270's, a spare #1 action, and a Brn Lo Wall hunter 45 colt, still looking though, want something 50 cal!

Heck! I don't even know how many I have... let alone what they are... I used to have 30 or 31 Ruger #1's but I sold a bunch off. 'Bout the only unmodified #1's I have left are the K1-A's... (.35 Whelen, 6.5x55, and .250 Sav.) and those are all N.I.B.

Got a call from my 'Smith the other day and he asked for ammo to testfire my 6.5x54 1-A. So that one's about done.

Thinking the next one will be a #1 in 8x68S... I have a .300 Winnie I don't need and an 8mm bbl contoured blank... OR I could give him my action, and my Pac-Nor barrel blank (1~8" twist) and tell him to make up a 7x65R.

I have Browning B-78's in .300 H&H and a .405 Win. in the works. And Browning/Winchester 1885's in .225 Win., .22 K-Hornet, .22 Hornet (Soon to be converted to .25/20) .243 Win., 7mm WSM, .325 WSM, .38/55, and .45 Long Colt. (And a .223 on layaway to make a 6.5x47)

Aaaaaaarrrrggghhh! My head hurts.... There's more, I just can't think of them...

I kinda like the single shots too. I've got 4 flinters from 40-54 cal. Two caplocks 40 and 45 cal. A few Brownings, a 1885 BPCR in 45/70, 1885s in 38/55, 260 Rem, 223 Rem, 45/70 125th Anniversary with an Unertl 4x scope, Ruger No.1 in 243 Win, Stevens #44 in 25-20 SS, and an Uberti 1874 Sharps in 40/65. I think thats it. But there is a gun show visit today.

A rolling block that I mail ordered as a kid in .43 Mauser for an outlandish price of about $15, including two boxes of Dominion branded ammo. A 510 Remington Targetmaster void of finish compliments of my deceased Father-In-Law. I may have that one modified for my granddaughters. A Shiloh Sharps #1 in .40-65. A TC G2 Contender .223 16.25" carbine for handy vehicle carry. Two Ruger No. 1s, an AH .25-06 and a 1S-C .45.70. I am in the market for a nice Savage 219B in .30-30. The Contender barrel in that caliber is an option, but it seems like I almost have to "wear" that rifle as opposed to reach, aim, fire. The stock's pistol grip doesn't wear well with me. Jack

I have Ruger #1's in 25/06, 2-7x57,.405 win.,300 H&H, 264 win.,7mm Rem. mag., 6.5x55 Swedish,30/40 Krag and 250 Savage. 30/30 and 303 British is next.

Encore in 9.3x74, No.1's in 270, 300 H&H, 9.3, and 450-400.
Think there needs to be a 375 H&H to join them... Well, need might

I surely dig that custom #3 in .358. Bet you could KILL something with that!

Thank you. Actually it's an old picture and I've since had it checkered by Tim's Classic Checkering. Looks much better and grips a whole lot better. 24" Shilen barrel. It's a shooter.

Wow DMc, 1As in 223 and 7-08!!! How did you find them?
The wood on that 7-08 is fantastic.

One listed a Rem. 510 .22 rf. I got one for my 8th birthday and 65 yrs. later still have it, both of my kids started out on this rifle too. Still a very accurate rifle.

Mtngoat....do i see MGM's caliber stamp on the Octagon 6TCU?

who did the wood? looks kinda like some stockwork i've seen by shearer...

Correct MGM and Donald shearer did teh stockset. I used to shoot Silhouette with his son and grandson!

New to this forum - thought I would share a photo of my .375 H&H #1. I had the barrel machined down to reduce the weight of it to about 8 lbs and did the stock out of American Black Walnut.

That's pretty yummy

Here's 2 of my three. My original Sharps 45/110 and my new Shiloh Sharps 44/90. My 3d is a High Wall in 45/90
