Variation on the old cabin thread: Northern small town hardware store chamberings

[Ardent]

I end up in a lot of small northern towns in the off season job, just hit a new hardware store in a town an hour south of the territories, a thousand people sized town lots of conventional Canadian hunting activity locally. Limited Grizzlies present, lots of moose, some elk, tons of black bear, two of the three Canadian deer species, wolves and yotes. Won’t say the town yet incase folks know the place as it’s the only ammo stop to my knowledge.

There are,

-Two Rimfire Chamberings
-Thirteen centerfire chamberings
-Two Shotshell Gauges

Whatcha figure?

 

[saskbooknut]

Shotgun 12, 20.
Rifle .308, 30-06, 30-30, 7 mag, .270, ( .243?) and maybe .303 British

I love those small town hard ware stores that have been around forever, things you find on the shelves can be amazing and cheap

 

[conor_90]

What town?



Edit: Okay I read the whole thing now hahah

Seems like a good selection in this mystery town.

 

[flashman2]

So that leaves three CF cartridges that aren't ones already guessed.

.300 WSM, .270 WSM, .45-70 (there has to be a box of Leverevolution in there.)

No .308 yet 7-08 is genuinely surprising. I don't know which surprises me more - that they have 7-08 or they don't have .308. No .30-30 is surprising too.

Now though... not being there could also mean it was the most popular and is sold out
Are the 13 they had all they CARRIED or all that was in stock?
