    Old - I was going to say 45 Colt, then realized 22 rimfire was older. Ruger Mark II
    New - 7mm-08 - Rem. Model 700 Classic

    With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
    What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?
    (I seriously doubt you can come up with any plausible answers that you will like...)

    Here I was trying to recall whether the .45-70 or the .44-40 is older - and of course it doesn't matter because Hickory is right.
    My oldest would be 22 short.
    My newest would be 17 HMR.
    Pretty interesting that oldest and newest would both be rimfires.

    .22 RF and .40 S&W.

    When I started reading this I wondered how many posts it would take before someone got around to the .22 RF. I couldn't believe it wasn't in the first or second post.
