What is your deadliest weapon???

Not sure there’s a bird I’ve killed with any other shotgun than my Nova pump. Waterfowl, a turkey, doves…all of that has been with the same 12ga. Plenty of squirrel in there too, but not exclusive to the Benelli.

The Lee Enfield has accounted for more deer meat by volume, if not by headcount, than my others. Though I suspect the new 9.3x62 will be catching up this fall.

I've probably killed more stuff with a 10/22 than anything.
 
Kind of a trick but fun question.
Mine is a Remington 12ga 870 shotgun - accounted for over 1000 ducks, pheasants and quail
2nd is a Gamo pellet gun - 256 squirrels in my back yard and counting.

What say you?

Probably two rifles I no longer have:

Cogswell & Harrison .375HH. Wonderful guns and I've had several. One in particular was my backup gun for Africa on about ten safaris. As all of you know, when you bring a 375HH, a large bore, and a small bore, you inevitably shoot 90% of the game with the 375HH out of convenience. It surely has killed around 40 animals in Africa.

The other was a Dakota 7x57 single shot. (I now own its identical twin) That gun has been everywhere with me, bear in Canada, elk in New Mexico, Pronghorn too, deer in Wisconsin, and of course dozens upon dozens of plains game animals in Africa: kudu, hyena, dozens of impalas, warthog, duiker, zebras, and a lot more.

Honorable mention, I got a Marlin .22lr model 60 when I was eight years old. Between 8 and 14 years I'm sure that gun about 20,000 rounds and buckets of miscellaneous creatures.


All a man needs in this world is a 7x57, a 375HH, and a 470NE. Everything else is just a specialized derivative of what those three accomplish.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
