;D
just wondering what gun you wouldn't even think of getting rid of.
I have great success with my pump 270 winchester.
1st year ever hunting 1 doe on the last day, next year a spiker and last year a 5 by 6 buck. Man was i excited as I got the first shot of the first 15 minutes of the first day. Bang I ran over and the sight of that white tail got my heart racing. I have the bragging rights this year of the 8 regular hunters i go with as nobody else even got a buck. 1 guy got a small doe. My dad erased the pics of the deer off his dig but took some of the rack to show all.

the sixth tine is just started above my hand but otherwise a nice practical buck.

BO,
Nice Rack ;D ;D, serious though, looks pretty impressive. would like to see a pic of the whole Deer if you can find one. Congrats!!!
As for which gun I'd never think of getting rid of???????????????? ALL OF THEM ;D ;D Well except my old Muzzle loader, but it still looks good in the collection 8) I have this strange belief that one can never have to many firearms ::) ;D

Nice collection there steve. I was I had half that many guns. All I got is a 22, my 270 and a 12 guage for ducks and geeese. Speaking of that I cant wait to go for some nice northern greenheads. Man is that ever fun.
-
I took that pic yesterday after cleaning and wiping them down. They are now locked in the gun closet and will be sitting idle until I return. :-\ No Deer, Goose, Duck or Turkey hunting with them this year :'( Maybe I'll get to take the Bow out for an end of season Deer hunt in Westchester Co.
Good luck to EVERYONE this Fall

My favorite gun has to be an Ithica Model 37 Featherlite 16-gauge shotgun with a 28" barrel that my father gave me when I started deer hunting (in Western NY you can only hunt with shotguns, pistols or blackpower guns). My dad actually won the gun in a big buck contest before I was born. He used it for a few years then gave it to my oldest brother when he started hunting. When my brother gave up hunting my dad took the gun back and gave it to me when I started. I've used that gun for deer, grouse, turkey, everything but waterfowl.

This one is a special favorite of mine. I inherited it from my Father-in-Law. He was an avid chuck hunter.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/brfixit/sako.jpg)
It's a 1950's vintage Sako Vixen in 223 with a Simmons Aetec 2.8-10x44mm. A fine old firearm that shoots ragged 1 hole groups at 200 yd. It's light and easy to shoot with my 1.5lb trigger.
I do replace and upgrade my firearms every now and again (when I get the urge)...this one stays with me ;D I love this gun!

Here are some pics of my Model 12 winchester. serial # 115108. It was bought new in 1915 by my grandad. Maybe R G can tell me what its worth but its not for sale.

Nice guns...pretty common though...price range from $195 @ 20% to $495 @ 100% depending on condition and who's buying.
Skeet models and smaller guages run $400 - $1500... again depending on condition.

i will have to get a pic together but my father has given me his guns and i have a couple of my own.my deergun is a 30-30 marlin hands down,i also have a couple other guns that are awesome but dont see any action otrher than a bi-annual cleaning.winchester 32 special that was actually my grandfathers.and a 300 savage that is probably the fastast shooting lever action i have shot.rotary magazine and a very short stroke make for a quick reload.probably my favorite gun (obviously not for hunting reasons)in my collection,but no longer belongs to me ,is an H&R 20 guage single shot shotgun my father bought me when i was 10 yrs old and a couple years back i was thrilled when my son turned 10 so i could give it to him!!there are a few others but they are nothing special!!
-
I like by Remington 870 Express Mag. Good upland bird and goose gun, and I have a rifled slug barrel for deer hunting. ;D
-
Hey Bobber Stop
Im pretty sure that my gun is the exact same
Check out woodduck from the pothole
Yours is in imaculate condition

My custom Remington 700 in 7mm STW is definatley one of my favorite guns. Black and grey laminated stock, 26" heavy, fluted stainless barrel, custom trigger, Sako extractor, topped off with a 6-18 Leupold. I'm especially partial to it lately as I bagged a nice 20" wide 8 point with it at at 245 yards Monday in the opening minutes of the PA rifle season. ;D
-
I can't pick just one I would not part with any of them!!!! Mossberg model 500 12ga is always in my toolbox for just in case, it gets used on doves, pheasants, woodchucks, sporting clays, foxes, and whatever else. My .22 ruger handgun with a 3x scope is an awesome plinking gun. My son loves the ruger 10/22 for plinking. The marlin .22 mag has eliminated tons of woodchucks. The ruger 25.06 with the heavy barrel in stainless has also accounted for numerous woodchucks and a few deer. The Savage 7mm mag with the syntheic stock is a great lightweight all day deer gun. The Remington 870 wingmaster magnum with a hastings rifled barrel topped with a weaver 0-3 variable scope is an awesome shotgun area only deer gun. The way I see it guns are like money you can never have too much!!!!
-
i hunt most of the time with my browning 30-06 auto loader. when i,m in areas where i can get close to the deer, i use my 30-30 marlin leaver action. i love that 30-30 and would not part with any of my guns.hows that saying? from my cold dead hands.
-
My fav is my 25-06 browning a-bolt, i can pretty much pound in nails with it.
-
ive got a bunch but the guns that i would never get would be my modle 94 winchest in 30-30, my remmington 870 wingmaster 20 gauge both given to me by my grandfather, by yugo sks 7.62x39 that i got for christmas last year and my mosin nagant model 91-30 in 7.62x54R made in the izbech ( forgive me for the spelling) factory in russia in 1944, i bought, well my dad bought but i saved the money, 69 dollers. next i want a savage 99 in 300 savage and a sig. 380 and c/z 7.62x25 tokerave
-

-

-
i think thats it my grandpa has one and i shot a few rounds and man was it smooth he said he would help me out with one as soon as i got my permit cause their a little pricey but well worth it
-
ya there expensice i hope you reload you own ammo because it cost like $50.00 bucks for 10 rounds not very cheap, a guy leat my dad shoot his at the local shooting range one tim it dident go over well with his carpel tunnel
-
wow thats alot but i have a buddy that reloads so maybe he can hook me up even teach me did your dad shoot the 4" or 8"?
-
i reoloade for 30-30 and 30-06 my grand just lent me his smith/ wesson 45 aut o rime for a few years,the auto rim is ecentily the same as 45 acp exept with a rim, the the die kit says its for both but the shell holder doesent allow for the rim on the auto rim so i cant reload for those yet >:( >:(
he shot the 8 inch, the guy who owend the gun said one night he really made the neighborors mad, he took the gun out back and shot of 6 rounds one handed as fast as he could
-
its a good thing to know im sure it saves alot of money

TC Encore .25-06 15" Barrel The 25-06 is an excellent choice for Whitetail, Mule Deer, Antelope, and similar sized game. It offers very flat shooting for ranges up to and a little over 300 yards. It is also a very capable varmit round. I generally load 120 gr. for larger game, and between 75-90 gr. for a varmit round. Since the TC Encore in 15" Barrel Length is considered a pistol, I generally in the past have carried this along with the harder hitting 7mm Weatherby Mag, generally loading a factory round of 160 gr. IMO, the 7mm Weatherby Mag is capable of knocking down just about anything, with incredible amounts of energy!
-
One more thing. I have yet to hunt in NYS with centerfire. I was raised out west, and hunted there primarily. I'm anxious to get into the hunt here in NYS especially with the regs allowing for centerfire rounds.
-
I have 2 favorite guns. one is a single shot 12 guage from NE Firearms, great gut for squirrel, grouse, turkey. The other is my Remington 870 express magnum 12 guage shot gun with a 1 1/2 x scope on it.
-
Have to add one more gun to my list of favorites now that I got my permit. My .357 magnum by Astra. :D
