I think I'd like 'em all. Right now I've only got 30-30, but that'll change, eventually, as things settle down. It's sufficient until then. so put me down for 30-30: easy on ears, shoulder, & wallet - deadly on the deer.

A 270 would be nice. So would a 45-70 in 1895.

I wonder what the most popular topic was?
I know the most popular reply..."It's covered in the FAQ's..."!!!

.38-55 if you're talking about for handis, .270 if you're talking in general.

I'd say the 45/70 and .357 Max get the most attention.

45/70 and 45colt/454 chamber

captpaul · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:26:01 AM »

45/70

Jimbo47 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 06, 2010, 03:54:03 AM »

Just off the top of my head, and having spent way too much time on this computer, my guess are these!
357 Mag/Max
45-70
223
30-30
243
7mm-08
308
270
30-06

Shotguns
It would be a run away in the 20 gauge Ultra Slug Hunter followed by the 20 gauge smoothbore Pardner.

45-70

ham7777 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2010, 06:01:49 AM »

1. 45-70
2. Any .30 cal
3. Any .7MM cal.
4. 38-55
5. Any .22 cal. (center or rimfire)

And that's the truth. Ham7777

gaileyr · « **Reply #18 on:** January 14, 2010, 06:00:25 PM »

It may not be the most popular. But I like the 444 Marlin.
