I like the OP's answer.

I have a couple. An old Rem. 742 circa 1971 in 30-06. That one was my Dad's that I inherited in 1996 when he died. I bought one of my own in 1976 and sold it a few years later. In the interim I had a BAR in 7mm RM. I shot a lot of deer with a 30-06 Rem 742. I also have a Mossberg 4x4 in 30-06...

Good read.

Very cool. I have always had an affinity for Enfields.

We didn't have that but I got an "Expert" badge with M-16A1 in Army BCT. I failed to qualify "Expert" with my personal weapon twice in 17 years of active duty/NG/USAR service. First was as a Rifle Company Commander with the M-1911 issued to me. The one I was issued probably went through WWII...

Shooting a tie for high .22 rifle score at Boy Scout Summer Camp in 1971. I had usually shot circles around other kids and adults in informal competitions before that but I met my match at Summer Camp. I earned my Rifle and Shotgun merit badge.

I'm not a criminal because I was only convicted three times? I'm paraphrasing but that is how it comes across to me.

I accumulated ammo over the years when I was working in anticipation of retiring. Figured after I retired I would have less income to buy ammo. Now that I'm retired, while I have the time, health issues have limited my range time but my intention is to shoot more this year.

I have used them in the past with no problems.

I'm glad I bought my son's 336 back in 2016 for $275. It was in pretty good condition. I re-finished the stock before I gave it to him. It's a 1971 and shoots sub MOA groups at a 100 yards just like my 1971 336. I told him if he ever wants to sell it I will buy it back.

I'll take the Marlin 336 in 30-30 everytime.

I found that was pretty accurate also.

I have only shot one deer with my PA10 and it was with Federal Premium w 168 gr Berger Hybrid Hunter bullets. Perfectly placed shot but no blood trail. I'm using Barnes Vortex w 168 gr TTSX now but still experimenting with other loads.

I saw something about Finland building more ranges the other day but it would still be less than what they had 25 years ago. https://news.yahoo.com/finland-shares-border-russia-plans-062226690.html

We had firearms all over the house growing up. No one died.

Did you get that from Grabagun? I got notification on one like that from them a couple of weeks ago but post Christmas I'm tapped. Congratulations! Edit: Sorry, I didn't read the 1981 vintage.

My Dad had one of those Win 1400s. He used it for years and I don't know who ended up with it when he died. I had a Rem 1100 and we always had debates on Rem v Win but neither of us had problem with our respective shotguns.

I don't live in NZ so my PA-10 .308.

Seeing this list makes me feel like my gun safe is the island of misfit toys. I have a PX4 40 S&W and love it. I have a couple of Mossberg rifles that are accurate and reliable. I see a lot of derision of these online and usually it is "I saw it on the so and so forum" yet most haven't ever...
