I keep hearing about the positive attributes of K95's. I really need to try one myself. Of course, it could lead to another mass migration of money out of my bank account!

If you were to purchase 4 single-shot rifles, what calibres would you choose?

I like that style even more. Now for me just to actually subscribe to it, with a .308 in my case.
Built that in miniature as a 5.6x50 Mag some time ago, now another forum member’s.
I recall seeing you post pics of her before. That's a very nice rifle and the stock is gorgeous. Theere's no flies on that Mauser either.
Well my next single shot is gonna be in 7x65r…. I have lots of bullets, I already have the dies, just need to find brass(and I might have found some locally, I’ll know Friday), next is to get some qd rings and a good light weight scope, 4x, 6x or a 2-7x gloss with German no4 reticle and I should be set!
Dgy.
7x65 Lapua brass is about, i got mine from prophet river, Hirsch per likley has it too,

This is interesting,
I’d have to go with,
22 Hornet
45 Colt or 44 Mag (something I could cast and do well with in the woods)
7 PRCW (not Hornady version but the wheeler version based on the 6.5 prc case)
9.3x62 or 375 Ruger as my heavy hitter. (There is a 9.3x62 lefty I keep my eye on in EE incase I win on a lotto ticket just a little bit):

Don't want another singleshot 22, been there done that. PITA on a gopher field. I really liked the Varner I had, but, it was a PITA in the application, good bolt or straight pull action suits me better, with a big capacity mag.
Also have a 300Rook on an H&H sidelever action, that gun is fun, far easier to operate than a falling block or top lever, although , a Baikal underlever can definitely compete with it for ease of use. I'd be happy with either style of them in nearly all of the cartridges I currently have other guns in, if that was a little cheaper to buy than they are. And yet, a falling block is better to use off bags on a range than a break action.
As to cartridges, I have a 218Bee, no desire to change that, in a Stevens 044-1/2.
I have a 7-08 in a #1, it'll do the bulk of what needs doing for hunting, I might be just as happy with a 6.5 or 7x57R too.
I have a 30R Blaser, essentially a 7.62x68R, it'll do what needs doing for the bigger critters in N America and elsewhere, comtemplating buying a used 30-06 in an 1885 or #1 and rechambering the existing bbl one day.
I also have a 300H&H, in an 1885, it really is a sweety to shoot, but the 30R will do what it does.
For a big 5 gun, I'd go 450-400NE, 200-400gr loads in it, it is pretty versatile, but, I don''t need it, have to be a 10-12lb gun too, been there, done that one.
But, for a range gun, I'd like another 32-40 or maybe a 32RKS or Miller, in about a 12-15lb gun, it would be on a 44-1/2 Stevens.
