Cartridge Selection

[SJB358]

Here are a few of the rifles I have in the safe. I started laughing out loud a little when I saw them all lined up. Kinda hard to believe I came from a family of one rifle hunters. Father had a 30-06 Browning he hunted everything with, and my grandpa used a 300 Savage.

(L-R) 22-250, 243, 264WM, 270WSM, 7WSM, 300WSM, 30-30 Win, 338WM, 35 Rem, 358 Win, 35 Whelen, 45-70

Here is a picture of the others cartridges I have collected from JD and a few others thrown in there.

(L-R) 22-250, 243 Win, 25-06 Rem, 264WSM, 264WM, 270WSM, 280AI, 7WSM, 7RUM, 300WSM, 300WM, 30-30 Win, 338WM, 338 Lapua, 338RUM, 35 Rem, 358 Win, 35 Whelen, 45-70 Govt

Man, can you say sickness! The worst part is I want a few others... Jeeze, I am not sure where it starts and stops, but oh man, what a ride...

I know there are a few of you rifle cartridge hoarders out there too! Sorry for the seemingly ridiculous post, but I took the day off from deer hunting and Christmas shop, wellllll, you can see I got done early! Scotty

I just noticed I left out my 7RM and 308, but you get the point!

Very fascinating, Scotty. Very fascinating.

Nice looking line up Scotty, 3 35 cal cartridges, a man after my own heart I believe the saying goes :grin:

p.s. you have room for a 260 Remington :lol:

There is room for a BIG 358 as well. The 260/6.5x284 isn't lost on me either. Just not looking right now. Really, I think I am putting in the time to find the 348 Win I have been wanting for so long as well... The WSM collection I want is complete, minus the 325, but that'll be another down the road kinda buy.

I do have to blame you all for the addiction, so don't expect Christmas cards from my wife this year... :twisted: Scotty

 

[6mm Remington]

You are very sick Scotty! :shock: I did not see a 6mm Remington or a 25-06, or a 280 Remington, or a 30-06! :twisted: :evil: :twisted: Oh my gosh, you do not have a 30-06, now that is just wrong on so many levels! Shame on you!

Mike, your the #1 on the list of this fascination-------- All those excellent QL products and pictures of pretty M70's... Yeah, I couldnt't take it. Scotty

David, you actually did see a 25-06 in the bottom picture. It is a left over from the M700 CDL I had. No 30-06 or danged 280 though... Jeeze, can you not see that smoking hot 7WSM there.... Right between the 280AI and 7RUM! Holy smokes!

Ah shoot, I just remembered, I forgot the 7x57 Mauser as well.. Dang it.. Scotty

What???? No Christmas card! Consequently, I'm looking for a new safe; I ran out of room. I discussed it with my bride, and she coyly asked, "Just how many rifles do you have?" Man, I was nearly trapped! So, I muttered, "I haven't actually counted them recently." "I'll bet you can make a pretty accurate guess," she responded. These sneaky women can sure make life tough. Well, once I have the new safe in place, I'll do another count. She didn't buy my story that in the dark confines of the safe, rifles and handguns tend to reproduce. I don't know how!

Glad I can help Scotty

I sense a cartridge line up thread starting.

Stay tuned to this station.

 

[SJB358]

Sweet, looking forward to more of them. Heck I might have to redo it, just remembered I left out the 44 too

Very cool Gerry. That is truly an all around line up. No wasted effort there at all. Scotty

 

[FOTIS]

If limited to 2 only (God Forbid) I would go 257 and 378 or 416 Bee.

As for now...I need a wide angle lens to fit them all in! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
