Greetings,

I have a friend who collects single shot rifles, primarily old western U.S. models. He loves the looks of the SS rifle but when it comes hunting season, he grabs a bolt and off he goes.

I've also got numerous friends who own beautiful SS rimfire rifles but very seldom take them into the field after rabbits and the like. They always take a bolt or an autoloader (I hate the term 'semi-auto).

No judgement of right or wrong here, just an interesting observation.

Sooo.... do you use your SS arms as hunting/shooting tools or are they more of a collecting thing for you?

I'm a terrible collector as I'd take the most gorgeous, rare SS rifle straight into the field and see how she performed.

Do you have any SS rifles that you simply refuse to risk in the field?

Regards to all.
