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

[jeff270]

.303 savage.

 

[brybenn]

450/400 3" nitro and the 25/20. Two calibers I truly need!

 

[Gibbs505]

350 Rigby and the 318 Jeffery

Do you mean the 318 Westley Richards (Rimless Nitro Express)? If so I'd agree with both.

333 Rimless Nitro Express, or Jeffery! That would be nice!

30 40 Krag not obsolete but awkward to find

Had a good time shooting up my old stash of this stuff in borrowed S&W revolvers. Tried seeing if it was still being made in Brazil and was told no matter how large the order, it's done sadly.

I teared up a little when I read this..... I just dropped $200 just to get 2 boxes of 50 for my JL Stevens Favorite....

Is anyone actually chambering new rifles in 257 Roberts? As if my 243 obsession isn't enough...

Sean

Yes.

For example, Ruger is currently offering its No.1 International (full-stock) in .257 Roberts.

.375 wannabe.

256 newton sounds pretty slick

Only1 request for the 25/20. Come one guys. Its' one fun, mild mannered cartridge. Great starter center fire for kids.

It really is a fun cartridge, I still have Grampa's '92 Winchester carbine and shoot it a bit.
However it is starting to get tired... would be nice to put a new barrel on it...

I'd grab a Rossi 92 in .25-20 if they'd bring it out fer sure. I'd gladly get a non-takedown M94 Miroku/Winnie
in .25-35 if these come out as well.

Id asked at shot show a few years back if there was plan to offer any of the small game calibers in the 92 clones/repros. Was told there was not enough interest

Very good Thread ARDENT. I had a Beckwith 4 Bore at my Range Yesterday...My Cousin resurrected it...it's beautiful..if anybody wants a pic deerdr@nbcsmail.com. We also fired a 100 cal Cannon that my cousin made from scratch.

.303 Savage, just because i own the gun, but can't find the ammo!! Gun was my wife's grandfathers, i inherited it, never bothered having it checked out by a gunsmith cause i figure ill never get to shoot it
