I need to expand my rifle collection. I basically have 3. A Ruger 270 with Leupold scope which is my go to rifle. Also have a Whitney lever action which belonged to my great Uncle and a Remington lever action. I just don't understand the world of rifles and there is too much information on other stuff in my brain already

I've got several Ruger #1's, and I like 'em. 30-06 and 25-06. Also have a LH Ruger 77 in .270 for my grandsons, and it is a tack driver. Lot of gun for the money

Ruger makes great rifles, pistols and very decent shotguns. I have some of each.
Mills, you only need to get one more rifle... a scoped Ruger 10/22.

The rifles are as much an addiction as the shotguns. Rain has foiled me in getting her sighted in today but maybe in the am and hunt in the pm. I must admit it came out nicely and will probably be my last as the smith is retiring.

I added a Parker 10 Gauge Lifter made in 1880, Grade 0 32" Twist Barrels #3 frame 2 5/8" chambers that I purchased from member Jay Oliver. I shot my biggest Tom Turkey I have ever killed this spring with it. It weighed over 23lbs. I'm very happy with this addition and hope to add a 28 gauge Reproduction to my collection in the coming year.

In my lifetime I’ve been hung up on the old Ruger tang safety Model 77’s , Ruger #1’s , older Remington 700’s , pre 64 Winchester Model 70’s , Kimber 89 BGR’s and Mannlicher Schoenauer’s . To say nothing of the Marlin lever addiction LOL’s !

Craig I have collected pre 64 M70's for a very long time have a couple of Ruger #1's, a custom and a 450/400 NE. One gun I regret selling even after 30+ years was a #1 AB in 7X57. My latest custom is a full Mannlicher stocked 6.5 X 55.

Got my newest to me Mannlicher Schoenauer MC Carbine in 06 Thursday . I’ve developed a soft spot for the 6.5x55 over the last five years , I’ve had no less then five Swedish unmessed with Mauser’s . Still have three of them now and also have a CZ 550FS in 6.5x55 . I’ve been drooling over a Cooper Mannlicher stocked rifle in 6.5x55 as well .
