    One more firearm...or are you done?

    I'm pretty much set with handguns and hunting rifles and shotguns, but for self defense and of course the Zombie Apocalypse thinking about buying two Daniels M4s (one for each son), a 50 Barrett for myself and a Zabala SxS 10 gauge (have a gunsmith shorten the barrels to 22".

    45 Super and 250gr

    45 Super is an awesome caliber for a woods gun. I shoot Buffalo Bore 255g hardcast at 1100 fps out of my Springfield V16 Longslide which was designed for the 45 Super. Bought it new over 20 years ago :) Had the Springfield Custom Shop tune the trigger and do the front and back straps

    460 Weatherby, Ryan Breeding

    Is this a Ryan Breeding custom rifle? Is it built on a GMA Magnum Mauser Action? If so I'd have Ryan put a 24" 505 Gibbs barrel on it. Then you'd have something!
