45/70 built on a Siamese Mauser action, Douglas bbl, Timney trigger. Load light 458Win Mag loads (2175 fps) for it with 405gr JSP. No scope. My "go to" rifle for anything what needs shooting.

Sharps 45/100/550 w/36" Badger bbl, long range Tang sight w/shielded front sight and bubble level. Extreamly, almost scary, accurate with BP handloads and cast Postell style bullets. BPCR 200-500yds and Buffalo target at 1000yds.

Winchester 94 Trapper in 45Colt. Tracking and brush rifle. The 16" bbl is handy and the handload 240gr JSP's are very hard hitting.

Remington 700 long action, mid weight bbl in 300 Win Mag. Awesome long range power, Swarsky 10-25 X 45mm w/ mil dots. single set trigger.

Want to include muzzle loaders?

Just bought a Remington 510 Targetmaster from a buddy who had his divorce finally finish. Paid $40 cash and forgave the $100 he owed me. Probably make that my new squirrel rifle!

Got more but those are the regular use rifles.
