Wildcats from the .450 Marlin

@Boyd Brooks
Sort of sits between the Whelen and the Norma so it only has the cool factor. A lot of work for not much gain. Me thinks I will just stoke the Whelen up and go and shoot stuff and have fun. I have 2 Wildcats so that will do me.
Good ideas tho for someone.

I am anti-06. Anything it spawned is demon seed to me. If I was offered a choice between a .308 Savage Axis, and a Mark V in .30-06, for free, I'd take the Savage on principle alone. Growing up, I had an uncle, that was all he spewed, 30-06 this and that. It would skin the deer on impact, and carry the meat half way to the truck. It could take down F-15's and destroy Abraham's tanks in one shot. I'm embellishing a little, but 30 years of hearing that chit, I developed a disdain for it like no other. He put Leupold right there with it.

Besides, if I wanted a .35, I'd use the .375 Ruger case. My fired .375 Ruger case holds 100.8gr H20 to the brim.
 
I was thinking for a marlin with a tubular magazine. And we can’t forget that everything has been done at least once.
When I made the post, the tube fed guns are what I had in mind. The BLR and bolt guns, there isn't much need to wildcat anything. Of course the one wildcat I did, Hornady took credit for.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
