Do you like single shot guns?

[barnabus]

Do you like other who like single shot guns? Does it bother you if someone has a different oppinon of what they want to shoot or how to shoot?
If this forum is open minded, then let's not act childish and cut down other shooters or their equipment. If anyone wants to, they can research for themselves and make up their own minds based on there needs and budget.
They might ask for your ideas and not take your advice. Don't hate them for that.
It would be nice to talk about the subject without conflict. Mine's better than yours is like four year olds trying to win. What? good question. At the end of the arguement no one has changed their mind and we all lost something.

I like “most” single shot rifles. My favorite are Sharps of course! I don’t like Rossi.

[Brass&Lead]

All rifles matter!
The aroma of black powder is just an affirmation of when you let slip the dogs of war.

I love single shots. Especially T C Contender pistols with rifle scopes. Have one .22 with a Weaver T36. A 10 inch .357 with a 4-16x. I shoot 148 grain Lyman wadcutters in it. I'd rather shoot single shots than any semi-auto. In fact I don't own a semi-auto.

I like single shots because, you know normally you only get one shot at a deer. If you miss they’re of like a streak of lightning, so you take your time and place that boolit where it will put the animal down humanly. Not blast away
Spraying the area with lead and wasting ammo. If i hear a single shot late in the evening, its usually because the true hunter has placed that shot and is now gathering his prey and processing it. One shot one kill.

Now that is a break action I could love.

Thanks. I wasn't sure that the Mods would appreciate the attempted sarcasm in that statement. Truth be told, I love and have mulitiple single-shots. I have one in each handgun caliber for which I have four guns and 1000 rounds of ammunition stored. The .38/.357, .44Spl./Mag, .44-40 and .45 Colt are easy, but for .32 ACP, .38-200, .455 and .45 ACP you have to be a bit more creative and John Taylor is "da Man" on the Infamous Bunny Guns.

I love all that I have (single, bolt, semi, pump shotgun, etc.) and lust after many I don't yet have.



Ed

I resemble that remark. Strongly!

[Scrounge]

I do have an auto. 1909 Model 8 Remington, 30 Rem. Just that one though. Honest.

Owen

Wrap it up and send it to me, and I'll save you from that evil status!

Anyone else feel like single shot preference is ingrained in them? I've loved them ever since I was 12 years old and I don't even know why. Didn't have any outside influence in it. Seriously hate my procrastination on buying several when no one wanted them in the 80s.

i luv the single shots. i have 2 tc encore's that are rifles(20vt, 444, 500 linebaugh) and a ruger #1 in 270. i have a 45-70 handi. you could say an 1898 spr armory in 30-40 krag that is a single shot too( i did a 102k redfield aperture sight and forgot about the nail). i shoot most of my bolt actions in single shot even tho i can load more.

[GOPHER SLAYER]

I guess you could say I love single shot rifles since I have 14 of them. They range in caliber from 30 to 45.
I also have two 22 calibers. A Winchester low wall and a Stevens 44-1/2.

[skeettx]

Yes, and like the Ruger #1s and the Martini Cadets

Mike

and cheating, I love my Rem 40-XBBR single shot rifles

[Woodbridge 30-30]

I to love single shots. I grew up shooting NEF shotguns as a kid. Shot my first handful of deer with a youth smooth bore 20ga. In fact my mom still shoots a deer darn near every year with that old thing, she's a little woman and the youth stocks fit her perfect. As many others have mentioned here, I've grown to love Handi rifles. I shoot 45-70 and 30-06 but have been on the hunt for a 44 mag since I already load for the wheel guns.

Yes, I love single shots. Rifle pistol or shotgun, I like them all and hunt with them. Having a ball with a 7.62x39 in a NO1 at the moment. Even the pump guns I adore are treated as single shots. They just store my extra ammo in the tube instead of my pocket

I am fascinated by the huge array of single shot actions. No other firearm action type has as many variations and some of the finest rifles made are single shots.
I enjoy studying their designs and strengths and what they do best. Whether a simple low cost break action or a very fine falling block design they are all interesting and cool !
I don’t own any of the high end models but I do own many single shots, mostly rifles some shotguns and even a few pistols. When I find a interesting single shot design I don’t own I kind of put it on a bucket list and keep looking and usually find a way of getting one even if it isn’t in the best of condition and enjoy restoring it myself.

I also like repeating guns of all types and own many but single shots are my passion.

I prefer single shots over most rifle and have a few here No1s, Martini cadet, high wall, Sharps, Brochardt, cpa, Hepbutns, rolling blocks. along with several 22s. Ironically for 25 years or so I was a NRA service rifle competitor with the M1A/M14 garand and at the end AR 15 and 10. From one end to the other here.

[Drm50]

I was always more hunter than target shooter. Single shot was not a handi cap to me. I have several Rugers, Savage and a Rem RB. Other than Savage 219, I wouldn’t own the newer break open rifles. They have no class.

[rking22]

Does a TCR83 qualify as “newer”?
I have been chasing a decent Stevens tip up pistol for reasonable $ for years, just want to experience it.

[gnostic]

Single shot trap guns are state of the art. I have a factory tricked out Browning BT-99 that I'd go 100 straight at 16 yards regularly....

[ogre]

I love them. I have two Rugers in pistol calibers and one RRB. I wouldn't mind it if a Ruger No. 1 in .300 H&H Magnum fell into my lap.
