What is your deadliest weapon???

[Josh P]

Not sure there’s a bird I’ve killed with any other shotgun than my Nova pump. Waterfowl, a turkey, doves…all of that has been with the same 12ga. Plenty of squirrel in there too, but not exclusive to the Benelli.

The Lee Enfield has accounted for more deer meat by volume, if not by headcount, than my others. Though I suspect the new 9.3x62 will be catching up this fall.

I've probably killed more stuff with a 10/22 than anything.

Kind of a trick but fun question.
Mine is a Remington 12ga 870 shotgun - accounted for over 1000 ducks, pheasants and quail
2nd is a Gamo pellet gun - 256 squirrels in my back yard and counting.

What say you?

Probably two rifles I no longer have:

Cogswell & Harrison .375HH. Wonderful guns and I've had several. One in particular was my backup gun for Africa on about ten safaris. As all of you know, when you bring a 375HH, a large bore, and a small bore, you inevitably shoot 90% of the game with the 375HH out of convenience. It surely has killed around 40 animals in Africa.

The other was a Dakota 7x57 single shot. (I now own its identical twin) That gun has been everywhere with me, bear in Canada, elk in New Mexico, Pronghorn too, deer in Wisconsin, and of course dozens upon dozens of plains game animals in Africa: kudu, hyena, dozens of impalas, warthog, duiker, zebras, and a lot more.

Honorable mention, I got a Marlin .22lr model 60 when I was eight years old. Between 8 and 14 years I'm sure that gun about 20,000 rounds and buckets of miscellaneous creatures.


All a man needs in this world is a 7x57, a 375HH, and a 470NE. Everything else is just a specialized derivative of what those three accomplish.

@Sideshow
My deadliest weapon is my big mouth
I can use it to build people up
Or
Tear them down.
It continually gets me in the shit because stupid people ask me stupid questions and they usually don't like my answers but hey that's life.

When it comes to rifles tho all my favourites are deadly if'n I do my part. So I can't say one is more deadly than the other.

Black Nylon 66 22lr - I hunted racoons to sell when the price was at an all-time high. When the price fell, I move on to other pursuits with the rifle. I wish I still had the rifle but it is still in the family.

Mine is my wife when you get her pissed.

The one between my ears.

@MS 9x56
Im glad you have something betwixt your ears mate.
Last time I had a hearing check, when the Dr looked in my ears all she could see was a sign saying space for rent, undeveloped and never occupied.
I guess there's not much between mine then.
