    does an AT-4 or LAW rocket count? i carried them and fired them frequently, so does that mean i owned it or just got the joy of playing with them

    Here is a company that others have liked. I have had no purchases from them. Unfortunately 50-70 is real high cost round, You may want to get into reloading them yourself..

    But then how many rounds do you ever intent to shoot in it to make the cost of the reloading gear pay off??????

    I've wanted to try one of those. They look like a nice rifle. I've seen them with wood stocks I think.

    I've turned into a single shot nut, in the last 2-3 yrs. In long guns, I have 2 leveractions, and the rest are all single shots. Here's some pics of my "coolest", depending on what I'm doing.

    I still have my H&R topper jr. 410 that my dad bought me in 1979..... It was my first gun that went BANG !!!!! I still love that old shotgun, and my son has used it alot... I just wish 410 shells weren't so dang expensive to shoot because it is a blast....

    Being a collector of T/C Contenders,and Encores,it is hard to pick a favorite caliber-----to make an big noise on the range,----I have a Encore/Katadin,chambered in 45-70,with a JP Howitzer Brake on it....usually clears the benches on either side of me----lol
    Then----most of them want to try it..
