[Northern Shooter]

Great idea for a topic.

Oldest Ammo: 45-70
Oldest Firearm: 1951 SKS

Newest Ammo: .308
Newest Firearm Model: WS-MCR.

Hoping to add some older milsurp rifles to the collection.

Oldest cartridge 303 Brit, oldest rifle 1896 LEC 1 - and yes, it shoots wonderfully, also kicks marvelously.

My oldest chambering for a rifle is a Powell SXS rifle in 16 bore pin fire from 1865

View attachment 608889

wonderful piece

Inspired by the assumption by antis that 223 is blowing your lungs out, and grandfathering/prohibiting means....easy button. Every year in Kanada many animals are taken by cartridges and rifles over 100 years old.

Alternatively, people find ways around injustice.

M1898 Springfield Krag dated 1903, 30-40 Krag is probably my oldest. And is unfired.

 

[HuskyDude]

(Husqvarna M25/ 1908-25) 32-20Win

458wm

As for actual rifle ages other than original releases rem pumps in 300sav and 308 all of my rifles are fairly new as in younger than me. My last pair were 783 rifles

Oldest rimfire could be my 9mm flobert or my Husqvarna 20 single shot 22 or my early win9422. Not sure of actual dates.

My shotgun collection is much more detailed

Mine would be Snider, martini Henry or 50-70, (I think Snider is oldest) not much for newest cartridge but might be 17 Rem.

 

[Turkeyslayer 1300]

Cartridges

Oldest .303 Brit or 7x57
Newest .300 H&H

Oldest Rifle

EAL .303 on a mid 40s receiver or Brno 21 from 1949

Newest rifle

AE Winchester or Model 70 XTR both from approximately 1983

I have a Winchester 94 made in 1896 or so in 38-55… that has to be the oldest lol!
As for newest, hmmm 9.3x62 that I believe is newer than 30-06 and 7x57… it is a Ruger no1 S that isn’t that old!

 

[LittleBoyLefty]

It’s close for my ‘oldest’. Winchester 1894 3o-3o Trapper, followed closely by Winchester 1895 3o-o6. Close in rifle models I guess, not age of cartridges.

Newest, probably a Tikka in 6.5 Creedmoor.

 

[209jones]

Had to look at the age of the cartridge, 300 Rook, which is about 1874 according to Wikipedia, gun is an 1887 built H&H.
Newest is a 6.5CM
Next newest is a 30R Blaser, released in 1991.

 

[medvedqc]

caliber 9.3x62 1903 and for the rifle a savage lever action take down from 1923 in 300 savage.

newest caliber 375 ruger 2005 or 2006.

 

[Pete04]

11.15x58R Werndl 1867 Austria is my oldest.
.416 Ruger 2008 USA is my newest.

 

[reomack]

Oldest rifle and cartridge would be a P-14 in 303 Brit, Newest rifle is a custom built on LH Zastava M70 action chambered for 280 Remington. Could have chambered it for 280AI but I hand load and have always felt like the 280 loaded to 270 Win pressure doesn't leave much on the table compared with the AI version.

Oldest cartridge: 7x57 Oldest Rifle: 1910 Ross
