Alright, "the Choosing the best deer rifle thread got me to thinking." (I know could be trouble)
But anyhow, How many different firearms have you used to take game with.
I'm talking any game, Large, small, or foul.
I have hunted most of my adult life, and have used a number of different firearms.
Some I've hunted with, and never seen anything while carrying such weapon.
Some I hunted with a while before I actually bloody them, some I was successful with on their first outing.
Here's mine, hope some will add theirs.
So let me see, these I was successful with.
Rifles;
Marlin 30-30... of course
2 Marlin 35 Rem.
Marlin 308 MX
Marlin 444
Marlin 25 MN 22 mag.
Rossi 92 357
Savage Stevens 200 223
Savage M 170 35 Rem.
Ar-15 223
Rem. 1903 30-06
Shotguns;
2 Rem. 1100 12 ga
Rem. 1100 20 ga

Re: Successful Hunting
Similar thread on Marlin owners and like I said there I cant list them all because it would run to hundreds. Having lived on a farm most of my life and with no closed seasons on most game in Aus the opportunities are almost endless. A steady stream of family and friends looking to hunt sees a new combination available almost weekly not to mention the 2 dozen that reside in my safe.
Throw in a few annual varminting weekend get togethers where everyone wants you to try their rifles and I will just say the smallest rifle I have used is a 14cal wildcat on fireball case and the largest a 50BMG.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
