#2 What Rifle calibers do you own POLL

[DadSmith]

This is the 2nd poll to add more rifle calibers.

We will do a run off after awhile to determine the top 10 rifle calibers.

Always interesting to see poll results. While there are national numbers, there are also regional variations (due to hunting law variations, game variations, geography and other things).

BTW, not to get too sidetracked, but I've felt sorry for some time about the loss of INGO poll data after the last platform upgrade. Have thought many times about reposting some of the classics to regenerate some data and spur new discussion.

I don't see bacon as an option

Please post pics of your bacon caliber rifle. Please include some target pics to demonstrate accuracy.

 

[Hookeye]

Used to have 7mm and .300 mags.
None of the others.

 

[Mark-DuCo]

I also have a 7mm-08, but it wasn't listed in either poll.

I didn't know it was a real gun, I am just a target for bacon.

Not as many people have taken the 2nd poll though. On a % basis, 762x39 is in 3rd place, and 45-70 actually has 243 beat for 10th.

[VERT]

I don’t own any of those. I feel so left out

Very true and a solid observation. I'm also heavily into AK-74s. While 5.45x39 is essentially vaporware everywhere these days, my buddies out in the PNW have long had a very hard time sourcing 5.45, even before covid and the Biden ban. I remember guys asking if there was a single round of 5.45 for sale at any gun stores across Idaho.

Running 2 polls will inevitably make it harder to interpret the data accurately. I looked at the 2nd poll, but I didn't take it because I didn't own any calibers on the 2nd poll. If there are several others like me, that means that everything on the 2nd poll will be skewed slightly higher in the rankings when looking only at percentages of the total.

 

[Nugget]

Excellent point. I guess I didn't figure it was possible for anyone to not have at least one on each poll.

Not going by %. In the evening I'll go through both polls as I have been and post the top 10 via votes.

[Bstarkey_46947]

7.7 x58 count?

 

[DadSmith]

7.7 x58 count?

Maybe run a military surplus caliber poll?

 

[BigMoose]

Yeah none of those.

But I have always been wanting to get an M60 Tank with 105MM

Thats 105×617mmR, which is still in service with US armed forces, though the M60 is gone, the round is still used by the M1126 MGS, and the future M10 Booker
