MIG25 said:Other than nostalgia, why would someone acquire a NEW rifle in 44-40 or 300 Savage when they have been superceded by the 44 Rem Mag and 308 Win?
I didn't see the 9.5x57 ?
9.5x57 (375x2-1/4 rimless nitro express) is different than the 9.3x57
Meh, most listed here are well worth being forgotten, so I will nominate the 30-30. Who under the age of 85 buys 30-30 any more? Yet its a sweet little round thats quite good.
Funny in the crazy posting here no one was touting the 30carb or 7X57. Try finding much ammo for either these days. Let alone SPs for the 30carb.
I like your thinking, but still think it can be forgotten, but a sentimental favourite. Wish someone still sold them.
But your assessment of the 9.3x57 is spot on!
