Gunsmithing (no politics)
Caspian Sea Monster:
The GP100 family is superior to anything S&W has ever built and I will defend that statement to the death. I really want a Bowen GP-44 in .45 Colt with a 4" barrel. The P-series is really nice too, I loved shooting the P89.

You have clearly suffered a blow to the head. The Smith 686 is the finest revolver ever made by man.

I went with .458 Win Mag because it's the biggest cartridge I can build a rifle on at my school, and if I'm going to make an Africa rifle, I am going to make THE Africa rifle.

I'm always interested to hear folks choices, I am sort of a student of the African cartridges. I have gravitated to the .375H&H over the years myself.

The 10/22 is certainly the iconic american 22. It's gotten pretty junky over the last ten years, I dunno if you guys have seen the newest ones with the plastic triggers and peel-away latex paint all over the receiver.
The thing that really keeps them going is that they were so popular, for so long, the aftermarket is insane. You can improve literally every part of that rifle, and in fact a couple companies make clone receivers to start from.
I put a Kidd trigger and bolt in mine, threaded the barrel into the receiver, and topped it with an old eotech 512. Absolutely the most fun you can have for the money.
GarandMarine:
Noxx I admit I haven't done a ton of research into Africa rifles, I just like the sheer amount of hurt the .458 is putting out, and there's also the fact that it's an artillery shell. I also have a friend who has one, and she talked it up enough to get it stuck in my head haha.
