After posting my rimfire rifles I decided to post my centerfire.Not as many as my rimfires but they suit my
needs which is mainly deer hunting.The only one in the bunch that hasn t taken a deer is the Sharps and I hope to fix that next year.
Shiloh Sharps 1874 military rifle 45/70 cal
Uberti/Cimmaron 1876 Winchester carbine 45/60
Winchester 95 saddle ring carbine reissue 30/06
Ruger no 3 44mag
Sako Bavarian carbine 308
I have to agree with you on the no3 , it carries easily in the woods and the 44mag cartridge suits the gun more than any of the other chamberings.If Ruger had of chambered the no 3 in 44mag and 357mag when it first was produced the no 3 might be still made today.I think a lot of people were turned off of the no 3 because the 45/70 chambering gave the gun a bad rep as a brutal kicker.

I agree. Would love one in 38-55 or 375 Win, or 32-20, or......
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
