.22 rifles 25 or so

I don't duplicate much but I do have a couple of M1 Garands and a 1903 Springfield, all in 30-06. I had an Eddystone Enfield but it was rechambered to 338-06 some 30 years ago. I got carried away with the 8mm's, 8mm/338 Win Mag, 325 WSM, 8mm Rem Mag, 8mm Mauser

I had (2) .22's but when I opened the safe the other day there was just (1) .44!

Who wooda thunk!

Question -off subject?

I have many calibers in multiples. My question is will the old calibers be DISCONTINUED what with the plethora of new calibers/bullets SOON? Curious as so far I see little to limited reason for most of the IMPROVEMENTS?

Thanks.

yep, count me in

That's really really bad.

You should be ashamed of yourself!

I refuse to answer the question on the ground that my truthful answer might tend to incriminate me.

Become a politician, then there is no such thing as a truthful answer!

I don't need to become a politician. I'm a lawyer!

.22 LR - 4x
.222 Rem - 2x
7x57R - 2x
7x64 - 2x
.308 Win -3x
.30-06 - 2x

and I had three .375H&H rifles but am down to only one now.

Not doubled on anything but too many individual calibers.

I have a Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in 7x57, and I also have a Brno Model 21 in 7x57.

They have different personalities.

Wowser !! That makes me feel way better about the 4's & 5's of a few rifles & cartridges that I have.
A particular stainless Ruger Mark II 338 Winchester is one of favorites. Some of my Rugers certainly operate very smoothly and group very well. I use the Ruger bolt guns substantially more than the others.
