My 45-70 guide gun and it will most likely stay that way as my choice of DG rifle if I should be so fortunate is .416 Remington( but I don't own that one yet.)
What in THE hell are you shooting out there in the mountains LODJ?! :lol: Sounds like an interesting collection, can you post pics of any of those rifles?
The biggest in my gun cabinet at the moment is .72 cal. 12 Ga slug barrel for my mossberg. Shoots real good out to 100 yds or there-abouts. dont have the dial calipers handy to measure but i think its .72. I'll let you know if i find out different later.

"Interesting" is about the right word. I've never had much money, but I've been at this a long time. Found out early on, that the stuff too strange for anyone else gave me the best buys. There was a time when surplus Police Special Martinis were cheap. Paid $75 for mine and found a guy who rifled it for $35. That was back before rifled shotguns were common.
Most all my stuff has a story like that. I came into a nice Franz Sodia combination gun when a fellow I knew got hired unexpectedly as a deputy in a very rough county. He had about a day's notice to get a service revolver and I had a Smith Model 58. The Sodia was a WWII bringback in his family for which ammo was unobtainable so we swapped.
Ran across a Savage bolt model 23 in .25-20. The stock had been "inlaid" with junk coins and epoxy and the action had been drilled for at least three different scope mounts so the price was very right and $25 more bought the dies and about 400 new brass.
Found a consignment Marlin 336 in a shop. It had been rebarrelled to .25-35 Imp with a medium heavy varmint barrel and restocked for a lefty with decent walnut with a rollover cheek piece. The sharp cheekpiece makes it completely unshootable for a righthander and I wound up with the rifle, mounts, dies, and some formed brass for the going price at the time for a new 336.
I'll see if I can get off my butt and take some pictures.
