Your "Woods" guns?

[oremike]

<sigh> I guess I grew up watching too much Lone Ranger and not enough Miami Vice.

 

[PNWguy]

Well it's settled then.. since the woods is a shooting gallery belt fed is best.

 

[Wombat of Doom]

If I was fearing for my life from Grizzlies .454 all the way. Forget those puny rounds you are arguing about.

Here Is my Woods gun Henry 44 mag lever action big boy Steel 16 in carbine length

 

[oremike]

My wife's not much for going walk about, but she has the Rossi equivalent carbine for a camp gun. Well that or her Stoger 20ga Coach gun loaded with #4 Buckshot.

Lol that Haratage 22 single action Pistol just might come in handy after all

 

[CountryGent]

Exactly. A 10mm autoloader, be it a Glock or XD or 1911 platform, offers certain distinct advantages over a wheelgun in any caliber.

Funny side story, I am aware of at least one automatic in .41 Magnum. The Desert Eagle, in the early models, were offered in said. A friend of mine had one. I don't believe they are produced in that caliber any more though.

The only gun that I have ever shot in 41 mag was a Tarus revolver

Just ordered some rpp cloverleaf peep sights for my henry will show and tell once they come in

I got black with the green fiber optic

In Alaska, it was a 4" Ruger Redhawk in .44 mag, loaded with 340 grain +P+ Buffalo Bore.

If it's a pistol somewhere else, it's probably a stainless S&W 1911 loaded with 230 grain ball.

But usually it's a rifle, and then it depends on what I'm feeling like.
1894 Marlin with good .357 ammo.
1895 Marlin with hard cast .45-70 loads. I had a great 336 Marlin that I built, but in a moment of business desperation, I let a customer talk me out of it. I'll be chasing that gun again forever.

But there's also the milsurp collection that likes to go out, there's the sporter milsurp or two I still have.
The 03a3 with the 19" barrel or the various mausers.

So many choices. Oh, then there's the .30-30 Savage 99 I'm rebuilding...

Too many choices.

Too many choices? Impossible. Can't have just one!

 

[MountainBear]

Too many choices? Impossible. Can't have just one!

Correct, can't have just one. But when it's past 30-40 options, then I get a bit indecisive.
All my guns are there to carry and shoot. The closest thing to a safe queen I have is an 1898 Krag, but even it would be a sufficient woods gun...

 

[DunRanull]

Krags are sweet... is yours a carbine or full-length rifle? A friend has hunted Colorado deer and the occasional elk for years with a Krag carbine.. makes a good horseback rifle.

 

[MountainBear]

I have two. One is a full length rifle, the other is a sporter with an old Lyman 34 sight...

 

[DeanfromOregon]

Glock 20 for me too.

same.
