Anyone else get recently interested in a different type of firearm?

[bushmaster1313]

For some inexplicable reason I've recently been on the lookout for pre-WW2 20 gauge pump shotguns.

Anyone else have a type of firearm that has recently caught their interest.

I know what you mean. I can't remember what prompted it, but a few months ago, I became interested in Webley revolvers. I figured out they're too expensive for me pretty quickly and decided I could scratch the top-break itch by picking up an old Iver Johnson. I think I'm up to 5 or 6 now and recently moved on to Iver Johnson shotguns. I got myself a single shot Champion, but talked myself out of a SxS Hercules. I'm afraid I'm not done with the single shots yet.

New Interest

It seems that the only bright spot in 2020 is the rekindling of my interest in side by side shotguns for hunting upland game. In my youth I used a nice Ithaca SKB SxS for pheasants, but then I ended up going to pump guns. For some reason, three very nice SXS shotguns (2 Parkers and a Connecticut Arms RBL) have come my way this year. I've put one of the Parkers to good use already on the skeet range and in the pheasant fields over my Brittany Pointers.

I guess I'm just the opposite. Been looking for a replacement for my EDC 6906. Right now the CZ P-07 is in 1st place, just hate $600+ price tag. Joe

I was on the HighSchool and College Rifle teams.... and Summer Camp Rifle Instructor.... after graduating from Law School I started shooting handguns and rarely picked up a .22 rifle

About 8 years ago.... I got a CZ 452FS in .22mag..... as a walking in Penn's Woods varmint rifle...... sighting it in at 100yds and shooting it regularly that summer .... seemed to reawaken my interest in .22 rifle shooting......I've found it very relaxing to spend an hour or two at the Club shooting .22lr at 50 and 100 yds from three positions and off the bench ...... mostly stock sporting models CZs and Rugers scoped and iron sights.

I've been interested in one of those small shotguns, usually used for bedside or some type of home protection tool. Like a five-shot pump or semi-auto loader, but I've been told by someone who shares my retirement checks and annuity investments that I really don't need any more guns. I haven't looked very hard, just interested, but I really don't see a lot of pre-owned ones. I have an old double side by side and and old pump, .410s, but I've never had an opportunity to shoot them to check their patterns. Plus, they're just too long for an in-house gun.

Horse and Rider

The Winchester Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle. I recently acquired
one, 2019 Brand New in the Box, and I am just intrigue with it!

Very well made, Simple to Operate, Simple to Clean, very Accurate.
I immediately gathered Reload Dies, and empty brass cartridges
to reload. Immediately bought a 2020 NIB Leupold Scope for it too.

This Winchester has the Controlled Round Feed with the massive
external Claw on the Bolt.

One very unique thing about it is Field Stripping the Bolt. With
the Bolt in the Action, put Safety in middle position, take out
Bolt, push in the Bolt Lock button, Unscrew Firing Pin
Assembly, and it's apart for cleaning. Unbelievable!

I have shot this Model 70 a lot lately! My Reloading makes it
cheap to shoot, about $23/bx 20 compared to $70+/bx 20

Over the years I have only owned Remington Model 700's (my
Rem Mdl Seven is a League by it's self).

Wish I had looked closer at Win Bolt Actions before.

Wrong time to be looking ....but a few years back I came across a used Mossburg Model 510 .20 gauge "Youth model"...... 18" factory barrel OAL is about 35" LOP 12" 3+1 plus 6 more on the stock. Its become our universal house shotgun...... IIRC cost me about $300 OTD at a local gunshop

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I did recently buy this Savage Axis 223.
A while back I sold off most of my Centerfire Rifles, only keeping my 30-06 Carl Gustaf.
Lefty that I am, I have owned a number of Savages.
They are usually excellent shooters although a little plain.
As in Ugly!

All firearms catch my interest. From matchlocks(that I still do not own one, yet) to the famed(but still under development) caseless ammo firearms.

To my shame, I have to admit not owning a single pump action shotgun(in any caliber). I blame JMB and is "auto five"(of which I do not own one either. All my shotguns are 12 gauge and side by side ) for this.

But. I ain't dead yet.

 

[Babysitr]

I got an itch for a lever .22......just fixed that with a Winchester 9422XTR.....hope it's what I think it is......you pump shotgun guys had better look into a winchester M12.....you'll be amazed

Scratched that itch with a Uberti made Winchester 1873 clone. Around 30 years ago.

 

[samuelrp]

I'm recently interested in a .22 revolver, RUGER single six or similar to blast away at the farm.

 

[SRG]

Constantly........

 

[VAPA]

Yep, my latest craze is single action revolvers, I have been seeing Heritage revolvers at gunshops for years and finally decided on a 22 LR/Mag combo, weird safety and cheap alloy frame but it's pretty accurate and fun to shoot.
Decided to get something a little better so I won a Ruger single six 17 hmr on Gunbroker, took possession of it yesterday, appears that it will be fun also.

 

[Echo40]

I'm all about different kinds of firearms...

Romanian Tokarev TTC (7.62x25 Tokarev)

Taurus Judge Magnum (.45 Long Colt / .410 Bore Shotshells)

Mossberg 590 Shockwave (12 Gauge FDE)

Right. Got no dime though.

Single shot fireams have captured my fancy in recent years. The mystique of just one round fired accurately and doing the job is quite a switch from my previous "firepower is everything" attitude.
