How many of you also have a rifle matched to your handgun calibre?

I have a Marlin M1894 .44 Magnum and a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 and a S&W M629 .44.

I really want a marlin in 480 if they make one or if I can find one anywhere. I am definately picking up a Marlin lever gun in 45 colt.

Used to have a Winchrster 94 in 44 mag with my Ruger SBH. It prompted me to carry the carbine into the woods far to often. I had confidence issues with my handgun skills so I sold the carbine and bought a Contender. Havent used a rifle since.

Nope

I have several lever guns but right now the only that match are a Rossi 92 in 45LC. I did have a 45-70BFR and I have two Marlins in 45-70

X 2

I have carbines in: 22 LR, 22 Mag, 22 Hornet, 22-K Hornet, 22 Jet, 25-20 WCF, 256 WCF, 30M1 carbine, 32-20 WCF, 32 H&R, 38 Spl. /357 Mag, 41 Mag, 44-40 WCF, 44 Mag, 454 Casull, 460 S&W, 500 S&W. They are all a blast to shoot.

cfish2, Marlin listed in their catalog but never made a 480R carbine; however, Rossi made them for a short period.

Doc

I've never understood the point. Cowboy action shooting?

fun to use your favorite pistol caliber where pistols aren't allowed and my rossi 92 is a heckuva home defense rifle.

Yes - have a 6.5x284 bolt action rifle, and awaiting an XP-100 build in the same.

I have a 7-08 in both bolt action rifle and Encore pistol.

I have .223's in both AR and XP-100's.

I have 6.5 Grendels in both AR and Encore pistol format.

I have a 300 Blackout AR and a 300 Whisper Contender pistol.

And I wouldn't be opposed to some straight-walled calibers in lever actions to compliment my revolvers...but then again, I have a gun problem

None for me.

X2

Make that X3

I use to but what “I” found out is that I had two sets of dies and two different loads for the same caliber. I would have done better buying different calibers for the start. This is JMHO

I shot the same loads in my BFR and Marlin and in my 92 and Rugers.

I forgot my Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull and T/C Encore Catadyn carbine in .460. I shoot .454s in the carbine.

Marlin Guide gun and Contender in .45-70.

FA 83 in 454 and a Puma in the same. To the gent who asked why, it is simple for me. Being that I put a curved metal butt plate on my Puma, and being that full house 454 loads with said butt plate are enough to make a grown man cry, it ensures I always have a stash of medium loads for my 454. And given that those are better for my wrist anyway in my FA, my Puma is part of my health insurance policy ;^)

And everyone has a 22LR combo, right??????

Craig

.22 LR and .223.

Lemme see...
.22short & Lr
Hand: Naa mini, ruger MKII, Heritage RR
Long: NEF youth break action, Marlin 60
.22 mag
Hand: Naa mini, Heritage RR
Long: Henry (oct barrel, sweeet gun, get one if you haven't yet)

.223
Hand: Kel-tek plr-16 (a hoot to shoot)
Long: Ruger mini-14

.38/357

Smater of fact, outside of shotguns, I dont' have a long gun that I can't shoot the ammo out of a hand gun. I do have a bunch of handgun rounds without long guns to match: .17hmr, .380, 9mm, .270, .45c, .454

why? why not?

db

Forgot completely about 22's - lots of both

And forgot another combo - Rem 700 .243, and a recently acquired Weatherby CFP in the same...it's bad when the new purchases are forgotten, huh?

.22 long rifle: Ruger Single Six and Henry Leveraction

.45 Colt: Uberti 1866, Armi Sport 1892 and several Ruger Blackhawks and New Vaqueros.

.475 Linebaugh: Ruger #1 and BFR.

.50 Alaskan: Marlin 1895 and BFR

I just wondered. I would like to get away from rifle hunting... except for those really long shots or where I need really big gun at longer than 200 yard distances.

.22 Ruger Single Six and Marlin and Savage rifles. This is causing too much thinking.

22 RF
6BRX
7mm WSM
50 ML

SC, I forgot I had rifles. Oops to many guns. I have my BFR 45-70 and a Marlin 45-70. I have a 223 barrel for the contender and a half dozen ARs in every configuration, And of course several 22 pistols and several 22 rifles. Oh and does an AK pistol and an Ak count?

S&W 629 Classic 44 magnum and a Rossi 92 in 44 magnum.

Okay, y'all with doubles! Can you shoot the same load through both configurations with satisfactory results, or is it like Duane said and that you need to load differently for each? If you need to load them differently it would seem to moot the point, IMHO.

My 45-70 MArlin and BFR will shoot darn near equal to one another using any and all loads. They both shoot the lever evolution round very well and my handloads. The 223 I don't know yet as I just got the barrel and haven't had it to the range.

Same cal.

Yes: .22 rimfire, .223, and 209X50 muzzleloaders. You have seen pics of all of them except for the ML Rifle:

6.5x47L



22LR

454 Puma and 454 Redhawk

nope x4. not even a 22

Ernie I assume that is a McCree (SP??) stock. That is a nice looking rifle.
Dura coat??

McRee Rifle stock
Cerakote
Thanks! It shoots great too!

Marlin guide gun & Contender in 45-70, G2 Contender with rifle stock and 26" barrel, 14" Contender in .223, and I just bought a Taurus Tracker & a Henrey lever action in .22 mag.

45 Colt Puma, 45 Colt SBH Hunter and 45 Colt Redhawk

lets see all i got are a couple 22 lr rifles and pistols nothing else matches.

I bet it would be possible to have a marlin 1895 chambered in 45-70 to be rechambered to 480 ruger because the parent case of the 475 linebaugh and the 480 ruger is the 45-70 case so I suppose its quite possible just a matter of finding a smith to do it.

I think Puma offers/offered a levergun in 480R. That might be fun.
