Best all round Australia calibre

And I guess that's why our gun collections are ever growing.

I look at it this way. If the polies relieved me of all my firearms bar 1, I would hang onto the 12G. Yep it is a compromise but is capable of being used for most of my hunting, with limitations.

I'd love to know if anyone ever as actually stuck to the line "I'm only ever going to have the 1 gun"

[Lorgar]

I was only ever going to have 1 rifle.

That was quite a few rifles ago

That's all you'll ever need, one of each... 1 each of a 22, 223, 243,25-06, 260, 308, 300, 303, 8mm, 338, 375, 458, maybe a big boomer 50cal+

Actually, you may need a few 303s and 8mms for their historic value, and a spare 223 and 308 as you're likely to need spare, and a few 22s as they are just damn good plinkin fun...

Ah forget it, just buy at least twice the safe space you need at the time and fill....

[Lorgar]

Not that it will ever happen, but if I could add a .50 BMG to the safe that would do. (I actually meant it this time )

My .22LR for the range, 7mm-08 for hunting, .50 cal target rifle for Ohhhh Yeah!

Realistically though if I ever get a dedicated target rifle I think I'm more likely to get a .223. Not quite as exciting as the .50 but...

[Jessie]

Someone needs to come up with modular safes that you can just add on extra sections as you buy new toys

[Atter]

Call Browning and get on it. I'll buy one

[1290]

I actually meant a 500J or 505MagGibbs, 100gr vs 240gr powder per load compared to the Browning....

[dayzmagnumhunter]

I will have one of those safe as well

You'll have to go pig hunting with jthunting to get your .50 cal fix

How bought a slug and buckshot combo shell? That would fit the bill.

[ployer]

Do they do such a thing? That combo shell?

[Blackened]

They do.

Winchester do a couple of different options in their PDX ammo.

I forget variety name but one is a 1oz slug with 3 large shot in it. Another is a 'defence' cartridge that's something like 12 small shot and 3 "stopping" discs.

I think they do a few others, something for you to look into if interested anyway.
