J-BAR #18287 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 This is surprisingly difficult for me. I don’t have a lot of firearms compared to many of you, but I’m pretty satisfied with what I have. Maybe a Winchester Model 52, .22 LR target rifle. I shot on the ROTC rifle team in high school. The top shooters used 52s; I could only afford a Remington 513T. I was jealous. Nothing like scratching an itch that has been there for 55 years!

DocWard Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Speaking of elephant guns, another possibility would be a Winchester Model 70 or a CZ 550 in .458 Winchester Magnum. Just because I think showing a friend a rifle and saying ".458 Winchester Magnum" sounds cool. NOT ".458 Win Mag." It needs to be said in full.

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'd look for a good Swedish CG63 target rifle with diopter sights 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. $600-800. But I have to admit, those two 1885 Winchester High Wall in 375 H&H sure was pretty....You could always load it in BP and lead bullets to pretend its a hopped up 38-55/375 Winchester. They wanted $1100, but on last day of year, cost sale store wide.... A decent original Model 71 is way outta $1000 budget......I'd want it with a proper period Redfield Peep sight and a box of Winchester Silvertip 250s.

Lawdog Dago Dom Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I know a small town police department that swapped two Thompson's, identical to the one Dantankerous posted, for new light bars for three squad cars. The chief said he hadn't seen them used in 30 years, but they used light bars everyday. I did get to shoot one before they were gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
