7mm Rem Mag Ruger M77 Mark II is my main hunting gun.

.300 Savage model 99 is the brush gun, and my favorite. It was my G'pa first new gun, I think I traded him a case of Hamm's for it (see favorite beer forum).

Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag, for fun, home protection, and killing my eardrums.

 

I have rifles, yes. I would like to get a handgun at some point, probably just get a 9mm semi-auto.
The only rifle I would like to get is a semi-auto 308 with a scope.
Slight cleanup, but might be better off dumping this whole thing, and trying again-

 

Thanks Jared for deleting my post

You want a 9mm handgun? You've prolly shot it many times and it's an excellent balance between accuracy/stopping power vs size/weight -- there's a shooting range on North Whidbey we could shoot a few handguns during the G2G to help make your final choice.

 

Yeah, I've shot 9mm, 22, .38, and a .45 handgun, all semi-auto. A friend of mine has a .50 Desert Eagle, didn't know he had it till he came into work with a black eye. Seems those guns have a decent kick to them, and he managed to catch himself with it.

 

From what I know of guns, The Desert Eagle is the Baddest **** around.

 

Warn me, I about spewed

...rented a Desert Eagle at a firing range and nearly took my forehead off. Ya' have to get set for those monsters and they still rock 'n roll, yeowch!

 

i was at a shooting range once, and I saw someone try to shoot one, one handed, he got kicked out on the grounds of stupidity, because they have rules to certain guns and you have to handle each with care of course, and that means controlling, he probably disloacted his shoulder.

 

Is it gonna flame me if I say you guys are losing forearm and upper arm strength? I fire one in Az. and it didn't seem THAT bad. It has a hell of a kick but then again, I got really big forearms...

 

It don't bother me, I'm retired, weak and gettin' weaker every day. Time for a healthy beer for rejuvenation.

 

Well, You may be retired but I'd HATE to step foot on your property without permission!

 

I only shoot varmints, lol. We'll get to know each other at the G2G...

As a young sailor I used our .50 cal mounted on the USS Kitty Hawk on Yankee station, and years later during a stint as a landlocked sailor the M-60 (7.62mm) in Marine tactics training in Saudi. (Was getting too old for that krap.) Both are a lot of "fun" but those .50cal rounds are so danged powerful I'd only use them in war or punching through trees to get at the durned wily coyotes.

Anybody use a .50cal now? Target-shooting must be real expensive!

 

Actually I was going to get something .50 cal but I couldn't afford it at the time. So (as MARTY says) I wished about getting a .45

 

Nothing fancy just a pre '64 Winchester 300 H&H magnum.
