In everyone's opinion what rifle caliber must you have one of in the safe? I'm gonna go ahead and exclude 30-06 due to the versatility of handloads.
Ummmmm...you mean INCLUDE .30-06, I assume......In everyone's opinion what rifle caliber must you have one of in the safe? I'm gonna go ahead and exclude 30-06 due to the versatility of handloads.
If I include it then that'll be the only caliber people chooseUmmmmm...you mean INCLUDE .30-06, I assume......
In which case, I agree as I believe every red-blooded 'Murican should have a Garand or '03 Springfield. Preferably both!
We will give you a pass for a P17 Enfield too....
Massive bonus points for a '41 Johnson!
Uhhhhh.....there's probably a good reason for that.If I include it then that'll be the only caliber people choose
22lr
223 Remington
308 Winchester
30-30 Winchester
For me that covers pretty much every thing...
Get out the flame thrower ..
Wait for it ...
So for me it's (almost) the same:
223 Remington
308 Winchester
but ..
ok, light the flamethrowers now ...
7.62x39 is the new 30-30
so mine is 7.62x39 and NOT 30-30
[dons flameproof suit]
ok, flames on ...

I agree with the .30-30, I just don't see it's advantage as time marches on through the 21st Century. If the idea is it's great for lead bullets, lever action rifles, etc. the introduction of magnum revolver cartridges put the .30-30 to pasture. A .44 Mag or .454 Casull rifle has more power than .30-30 does and can be used with lead bullets just fine.Get out the flame thrower ..
