My .257 AI is such a pretty gun. Purple heart on the forend and grip cap. Brass in between the walnut and the purple heart, and between the walnut and the recoil pad.
This year it dumped a forked horn blacktail I jumped out of its bed in a clearcut. 2nd jump and the crosshairs settled, and dropped him in his tracks. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Id like to hunt deer or elk with with a big boy one of these days 458 lott 500 nitro ect. just for the reaction when someone asks what caliber of gun your hunting with.
Had a Ruger #1 in 458. Took it out squirrel hunting with some friends :chuckle: The look on their faces was priceless. The laughter after I missed the first squirrel carried on for hours.
Always wanted a Titanium Mountain rifle in .260 Rem.. They don't make it anymore so I'll probably never get a chance. But, man how I would love to take a 450# plus high mountain boar with one.

Josh. You got the R8. Beautiful gun. Did you get it through the R&G club there or else where? And if you don't mind what did you pay? I am looking at a R93 right now.

I skipped the rod and gun and ordered through frankonia since my rod and gun would have to order a blaser through frank anyways. I originally ordered the rifle in in R93 but because I wanted 7x64 and not 30.06 like everyone else on the planet and also because of the retooling over to the R8's the gun was going to take 6+ months to make. That coupled with the news that Blaser is discontinuing the R93 in 2013 made me switch over to ordering an R8 which my buchsemacher was able to get me just shy of 2 months. After the VAT it was 2594 euros.
There are aftermarket barrels available now for the R93 since the patent ran out last year but blaser will stop making parts soon. If i were going to get a blaser R93 i would get one of the makura take downs because they take all the same R93 parts but they are a nicer grade of wood for the same price. they are super nice.

You guys will probably think I am weird, but the 1874 Sharps Buffalo Rifle.
I agree with you, or a .45-70. I think it would be awesome to take a big animal at long range with a buffalo gun.

Not at all. In fact I had a friend that waited about 3 years for a new one on order. Received it and went to North Dakota and shot a buffalo. Something he always wanted to do.

I however, having grown up handling a lever gun, have always wanted to get a browning BLR in something like 308... I think that would be a Sweet Gun! But all in all, I could never pick just one... too many cool guns!

Anything high powered with a Huskemaw scope on it. After seeing that show Best of the West where they are shooting really long range with there Huskemaw scope I want to try one of those out.
I would be afraid to ask how many animals they wound on that show. :twocents:

i have an old double barrel cap and ball i would love to hunt with but I'm scared to death of it so it just sets on the mantle my great great grandpa bought it new way back in the day. i don't think its been shot in over 100 years. i know one of these days I'm going to take it to a smith so i can get a little more info on it. then maybe i can shoot it
I'd be all over that. Take it in today.

I have a Browning High-Wall in 45-70 that has only been to the range a couple times. Otherwise, she just sits in the safe. Would love to Whack an elk with her. But, been archery hunting for over 32 years and just haven't taken her out during modern.

Good friend of mine has an original. I have shot it, but he has killed several elk with it over the years, know he only hunts with revolvers, but he still shoots the Sharps often. AWESOME gun.

I read a book one time that talked about the commercial hunting of buffaloes in Austrailia...it was a long time back. The preferred method of hunting was on horseback, and to get the buffalo to charge you. When the buffalo was right along side of you, you would use your rifle like a pistol, and shoot the buffalo in the head. I can't imagine the type of rush that would be! :yike:

I have a 1910 Mannlicher 9.5 x 57. (.375 Nitro Express). Was gifted to me and intend to someday work up some ammo and at least shoot the beast. Would be nice to take it on a hog hunt this spring.

I've got a .280 rem heavy barrel for my Encore I'm thinking of running this year if I can build up the muster to not roll the .300wm....feel free to talk me into it. I'll have to decide real soon between a couple scope options.

160 grain bullets get up to the .500's BC. Hit's like an 06 with flatter trajectory and less recoil.

I would love to hunt Canada moose with an original Model 71 winchester in .348.
You read my mind! That's #2 on my list..
Model 88 Winchester in .358 is my top choice. Between my Dad, Grandpa, and I we have every caliber of 88, Pre and Post-64's as well as the carbine's, except the .358.
