buttstockIt's complete, but not finished with-yet. I think its more fun looking for some guns than it is shooting them. I like the history of the rifles, and the cartridges. That's why I got a 9.3x62. After that, I sold some rifles (270 Win, 7x57, 30-06, 45-70), as it didn't make sense to have them when I got the 9.3x62, which should take care of all large game I'm after in the US.
On my search list... (it may take years, I'm in no hurry)
Shiloh Sharps #1 sporting Rifle in 45-70
Texas Longhorn Grover's #5 pistol in 44 mag
Colt SAA in 44 spec or 45 colt with 5 1/2" bbl
Beeman .177 air rifle (model 300?): offhand practice.
Danish model 52 surplus rifle in 30-06 (for the history)
accurate .54 cal flintlock, (Mortimer style)
Scope:
a good 4x (thinking of IOR Valdada or Nikon Monarch)
I'm sure that will change in a week or two.
