If You Lost Everything

[crs]

From the above commentary, things must be mighty slow in our shooting/hunting world.

MMMmmm, time to go move the lawn sprinklers to a dry spot.

 

[TOBY458]

Bolt Action 22LR. (Marlin or CZ)
Bolt Action 223 (probably CZ)
Bolt Action 30/06 (Win 70 or Sako 85)
Bolt Action 375 H&H (Win 70 Alaskan or Kimber Talkeetna)
Bolt Action 458 Win Mag/Lott (Win 70 Safari Express or Kimber Caprivi)
Browning BPS 12 Ga Shotgun

This would handle most anything you'd ever run into.

Of all the things i have lost in my life....
it's my mind that i miss the most.

Yep!!! But at times I think good riddance.

 

[Randy F]

After I sober up and remove myself from the fetal position, for where and what I hunt, I would have to replace my 30-06 first.
Then go get another .375 Win 70 Alaskan since I fell in love with that too.

 

[WAB]

The two calibers I would have to replace immediately would be .275/7x57 and .375 H&H. There would be a lot of internal debate on the specific rifles.

 

[Rob404]

My 1988 Remington 35 Whelen
My 1936 Austrian Mauser in 338 Mag
My CZ 404 Jeff
My CZ550 308 full stock

@Randy F and @TOBY458
Why the 375 Winchester Alaskan and not the Safari?

Light and just fits me better. Wouldn’t turn down a safari either, just a personal fit thing…I bring it up and it’s right there.

Sorry. No insurance coverage for that.

 

[meigsbucks]

Ruger Alaskan in .416 Ruger (possibly my favorite rifle)
I don’t yet own one, but a Blaser R8 with 9.3x62, .257 Wby and .300 Wby barrels.

 

[Tom Leoni]

After I have all the town's church bells toll, hire me some self-flagellating mourners and some weeping, wailing women, spend a month fasting and wearing black from head to toe for the loss of the rifle in my profile pic, I'd probably buy myself another classic single shot. Maybe an Alex Henry.

 

[Newboomer]

With no budget restraints:
Mossberg 152 22lr. and unlimited ammo to replace the one I had as a kid.
Win 70 6.5Cr.
Win 70 Safari Express 375HH.
Remington 870 3" 12 guage.
Presses, dies and unlimited components.

And just for giggles, a Rigby .275 Highland Stalker.

 

[Ridgewalker]

Hmmm…start with another boring Mdl 70 30-06, then same in 375 H&H.

 

[375Fox]

Not exactly rebuilding my African hunting guns, but the very first rifle I’d replace would be my tikka t3x in 223. I’d feel lost without it at home.

 

[chashardy]

I would buy another John Rigby & Co. Big Game chambered in 416 Rigby.

 

[Strausser]

S&L 68DL 6.5x55 and Swarovski.

 

[GuttormG]

A good 375HH with adjustable comb, 2 scopes in quality QR mount (1-6ish for stalking and one larger German for low-light conditions).
A good full-size 22LR bolt action (that means Anschutz 1416..) with a good scope.
Ammo and hunting for rest of the money...

Maybe the 375 would be a take-down, kind of tiered of hauling the big Pelicase around
