HI everyone, this is my first post here. Saw the title and it started me thinking of how many different rifles that I had used to take big game in my 65 years. I can rember some 27 different guns used. Of course some were used multiple times to take game in different years. Here are the ones that I can rember, probably missed a few too!

1. 218 Bee
2. 7MM mauser
3. 7MM Mag.
4. 270 Winchester
5. 30-30 Winchester

Best regards, John the toolman.
 
Very cool list, Mr. Toolman. More than a couple cartridges there you won't find at Wally World. Looks like you've got some interesting stories to tell and I'm certain it would be very interesting to hear some seated by a campfire some time.
