    Always liked the idea of the 35 Whelen but never could justify one.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Just get a 9.3x62, slightly better, somewhat easier to find and Lapua makes brass.
    That's justifiable right there.

    Justify and firearms in the same sentence, is extremely oxymoronic.

    Hi @akaroa1.
    What is your left handed .44 mag?
    Maybe I do need another rifle after all.
    Nice collection by the way.

    Left hand 44 is a H&R 44 single shot .... so really more not exclusively right handed, than exclusively left handed.
    Very short barrel and Gunworks maximus suppressor and use with sub sonic 240 XTPs .
    Accurate and effective to 120 ish on deer.

    And I forgot to list !
    .32 Special Winchester 1894 ... older than all the rest of them combined !

    Ive got firearms in Nz and Canada, 7or 8 in each location.
    .22, .22 mag, .17 Hrm, .17 hornet, .17 fireball, 20 vartarg, .222, .223, 6x45 (.223), 6x47 rem, 6mm rem, 2506, .260, .264 win. 7x57, 300 H&H, 300 win, .358 win and 9.3x62.
    due for a cull out, might just keep, the cooper's and Sakos, and the 358 win & Kimber .260, too many too close in performance,

    If I wrote a list of all my guns I'd probably frighten myself and find some I'd forgotten but a 7x33 sako is the most unusual.

    @Spudattack if I was to go after the big stuff in Africa I'd love one of those .416 Rigby in a double.
    Got to shot one at cans in Arusha. Wow recoil was like a solid push. Shot four rounds and could have easily done ten.
    Just lovely. The PH got taken out by poachers not long after I left. Shame nice guy wonder what happened to his guns
