Poll: Torn between two wheelguns ...

[CountryGent]

These are two that have been "back burnered" for a loooooong time. But I've sold off some guns, and have another automatic on the chopping block, so circling back.

Option One: BFR in .30⧸30 WCF

Why? It seems quite corking to go so gonzo.
No, really, why? No, gonzo is the reason why. Well, they seem like very nicely made wheelguns and an interesting evolution in the single-action design. And I like shooting wheelguns and I have to imagine shooting metallic silhouettes with one will be hilarious. I've got a decent amount of .30⧸30 put aside to feed a Winchester 94. (There is next to zero chance I'll get back to big game hunting any time soon, but who knows what the coming years will bring, and handgun hunting is interesting. Never say never.)

Option Two: Schofield in .38 Special

Why? I like classic guns and have an endlessly reoccurring fascination with top-break revolvers for reasons I never have and likely never will understand.
No, really, why? Eh, that covered it. Looks like a fun plinker and I've got a buttload of .38 Special ammo to burn up.

Price-wise is irrelevant as they are both floating around a grand, give or take.

Anyway, I am not set yet, but figured kick it around.

Schofield all the way.

I voted for the Schofield copy....Just seems more useful and fun to shoot , than a .30-30 caliber revolver.

[CRBMoA]

Schofield is the correct answer.

 

[Wood Worker]

I want to know the recoil of the 30/30 pistol.
You could even reload those with black powder, or equivalent, think of the fireball.

 

[chukar]

Yet another for the Schofield.

 

[CountryGent]

Visions of wackiness fill my mind ... SBR a Schofield.



Naw, I'll be good. Well, at least on this front. (Giggle)

In all seriousness, the more I think about it, from a strictly "fun" factor, I have to agree with Schofield.

Out of the two, I pick the break top.

Would something like this scratch the itch?

Delightfully gonzo. It looks like Salvador Dalí painted a Peacemaker and streeeeeeeeeeeetched it out.

Who makes this contraption?

Uberti, they also make a break top.

If you're thinking BFR, let me say, Freedom Arms Premier.

Cimmerron also makes one in 38/357 I looked into a few back.

 

[titsonritz]

Schofield for sure. If I was going with a stupid big wheel-gun it would be .460.

I think that's the best sentence that I've read in a long time.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Schofield for the win, and it just so happens I know where there are a few ( and a few more) in the various calibers, including .44, which would elevate you to super cool status if you ask me!

For old school spitting of .38's I've been looking at this...

The BFR also comes in .45-70. That would be my choice.

You talking original or replicas?
