What should be next?

Post by Cleveraction » Sun Feb 20, 2022 6:38 pm

Just finished my fixer-upper gun cabinet with 6 spots. I have a .22 (B22 BNS-SR), .223 (M400), .243 (REM700). 6.5CM (Mossberg MVP Precision), and a Henry 30-30. What should take the last spot? .17? 22-250? (I have enough smalls). 306/308/45 70? I don't shoot much that big. An 870 to round it all out? Might just have to find another fixer-upper!

Perhaps a Henry Big Boy either Steel or Classic in 357. Nice looking cabinet BTW.

Well, I'm looking at a CZ Bobwhite G2 SxS in 20ga. Something like that would look dandy in his cabinet.

A great cabinet calls for a great American shotgun like a L.C.Smith or Parker.

First - shotgun. 20 gauge. With today’s ammo a 20 gauge is yesterday’s 12 gauge so a 20 would do nicely. Pump.

Second - 17 hmr. Because they’re fun. Fills the spot between .22 and .223.

Third - .270. Almost as versatile as a 3006. Less kick. Takes game up to elk.

Sorry - I saw three empty spots in the cabinet and figured I’d fill them all. 😉

First, a good all round 12 or 20 gauge. I would go pump 870,500 or nova

Second, i dont see any pistols. And for that i highly recomend ruger mkiv or smith 617. My preference is the 617.

Third, a defensive hangun that can double as a range gun. DW. Gurdian in your choice of 9 or 45
