Henry Rifle Forums

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.

Marlin 30-30... of course

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.

Man Randy. Now I gotta think about this one and my thinkin gear has gone dorment since Aug 1st.

Ha! This is pretty easy for me as every deer I have ever shot with the exception of one was with the same rifle....
