The only thing wrong with a rifle is if it's not accurate. The true hunter does not feign at using any appropriate hunting weapon, when the circumstances require. Those that choose only to hunt with a single weapon, whether it be rifle, bow, handgun, black powder, or any other, only serve to cheat themselves of other opportunities. If that be their desire, to each their own. Just don't criticize others for following their own dream.

I remember when if your handgun hunted it was considere4d a "stunt."

Not any more, just crazy! lol

I love my handguns, rifles too. Wouldn't chose a handgun over a rifle to fight a war.

I just picked up a Marlin 1895 .45-70 which I have been wanting for a long time. A lever action rifle has the same appeal to me as a single action revolver. I also added a 24" .308 Win and 26" .25-06 Encore barrels to go along with the 15" barrels I already have in these rounds.

Congrats. 7x57 is a great cartridge & the m-77 is a great vehicle for it!
I'm in the ranks of the sinner too (in more ways than one!). Still have a few rifles around though they don't get used much. The exception is my Marlin Guide Gun if 450 Marlin. I love that gun! On the 12th of Sept I'll be leaving for a 10 day wilderness moose hunt. We'll take a boat about 20 miles accross a lake into a wilderness area, then backpack in 3.5 miles to set up camp. It's a limited draw wilderness area (probaly near 100 sq miles, one month season, & 10 tags given) & antler restrictions say 50" or better or 3 brow tines. Can also take 2 black bear each if the opportunity arrises. My partner has no moose tag for the area so he's black bear hunting only. Should be a blast although moose #s are down because the brown bear population is WAY up.
Anyway, the Guide Gun in 450 shooting 420 hardcast at 1825fps is what will be going with ,me on this trip (4&5/8" BH in 45 Colt will be on the hip just in case).

Is the road to heaven paved with handguns? Can long guns be cobbled along the way? Sounds metaphysical!
