What truly obsolete chambering would you like to see make a comeback?

[Slooshark1]

Oh yes and I want the. 35 Newton in a Winchester Model 70 Extreme SS.

I know its hard to find 25rem brass, but 38-40rem is simply 38-40WCF by another name, and it is still made by both Winchester and Remington

Not even close. the 38-40 wcf is a bottle neck cartridge...38-40 Rem is a straight walled case that is quite a bit longer than the WCF.

I would like to see the manufacturers come out with every round that I can not get to go with my collection.

375 ruger! Well, actually not really.

Turnbull Manufacturing can fix you up ... there'a a couple of 50-110's there, a standard '86 for $ 15k and a deluxe '86 for $ 30k. Pricey, but nice !!!

For a few bucks less, they will custom build you a 475 Turnbull on a '71 action for around $ 5 k. (Really nice case colours ! )

I have looked at that website more times than I can count. I have seriously thought about the 475, but if I'm going to spend that kind of money, I'm going to go for the original chambering.

50-95 WCF doesn't have enough oomph for ya?

Sadly, no... Hahaha. It's an interesting caliber too and I have thought about buying a 76 in 50-95 many times. But my 45-70 has more power. Plus, the 76 action isn't all that strong. I might buy one with those prices from marstar though. That would be the cheapest option for a 50 cal lever gun.

Great thread, Ardent. Not to hijack here, but I have just seen Marstar's specials in 40-60, 45-75, and 50-95 on this thread and I am keen to pick one up if brass is available. Anyone know who has any of this brass in Canada (Starline would be a good bet as manufacturer I suspect). Anyway, if this thread puts an obsolete chambered rifle in my safe I feel your work here will be done.

x2 on the .350 Rigby mag. I don't know why, but that cartridge has always appealed to me. I think if Rigby's had introduced it with a 310 gr. bullet at around 2,350 fps, instead of the 225 gr, then released it to the trade it would have become a lot more popular. Of course, an original Rigby Mauser would be the perfect platform.

 

[handofzeus]

.351WSL or .25 rimfire and .32 rimfire.

 

[hifiwasabi]

I second 25-35 and .250 Savage.

[SuperCub]

.250 Savage.

Yes, this one could really compete with the 243 if ammo was more available.

 

[Highwind]

Be nice to see the 7-30 Waters with Lever Evolution ammo; and a 25-30 with Lever Evolution ammo. They would make for a good caliber for those moving up to center fire cartridges and hunting deer. They'd be a flatter shooting cartridge then the venerable 30-30 and mild on the recoil.

 

[Highwind]

38.72 Winchester - or even a production run of ammo.

 

[Ardent]

375 ruger! Well, actually not really.

[kevin.303]

25-20 and 6.5x54 ms

 

[banko32]

9.3x64 Brenneke

 

[Slooshark1]

X2 on the Brenneke!

 

[tootall]

14.5x114mm or 20x138B would be my picks.

.41 Swiss rimfire, so I can get that thing out of the closet.

577-450

These three.

 

[southernman]

5mm rimfire,
