Different goals. 1. I like levers. 2. No tools takedown, as long as I got fingers, I'm good to go. 3. I'm right handed, right eye dominant, son is left, left. 4. Should be compatible with banging around in trucks, small planes, side by side, ATV and being dropped in a creek. Rain, mud and snow...

Safeties? How about a folding hammer that just cannot contact the firing pin and no real energy since it is dropped.

What? In this whole thread nobody mentioned the O'Connor Steelhead Cases from the mid 1980s??? What is old is new again. They were awful expensive back then. And all the steel cases fired by the Germans, Russia and later Warsaw Pact? And others around the world.

Or if you are a lever guy, a Browning BLR with a 375 Taylor barrel. A 300 grain Barnes at 2500 is the same, whatever rifle it pops out of. So one rifle with 3 barrels. 300 win mag, 338 win mag and 375 Taylor. I guess I could build a 416 Taylor and sell/give away my 458 Lott. I like my set...

If only my son was a righty.

As I remember the story. The Browning Safari was made in Belgium. Then the tooling was sold to what is today Serbia. The Interarms X, Charles Daly, Remington 798 and Zastava, were all built there. I just gave away a 375 H&H in the Remy 798 to a nephew, a good rifle. Scored an elephant for...

Well, this thread triggered me to join. For the BLR you can currently buy takedown barrels from Midwest Gun Works and the Gunparts corp. I bought a BLR in 300 win mag. Later I purchased two 7mm Rem Mag barrels. Jesse reobored one to 338 win mag and the other to 375 Taylor. The 338 handles...
