    I think your right bar the 300 win mag...The win mag has a belted case and the neck is a bit shorter

    Im thinking the big lad is a 300 remington ultra magnum

    Also, it's a .220 swift rather than a .25-06,and fairly sure second from the left is an 8x57IS

    Rebated rim is what gives it away.

    Last two are 8x57 and .30-06 unless I'm mistaken.

    my guess

    30 06 , 8x57 , 6.5x55 , 303 , 308 , 220 , 223 , 17 , 22.

    i could change the 220 for a 204 maybe but i'll stick to my first guess


  • Registered Users Posts: 652 ✭✭✭Hezz700


    Well done to all

    30 06 , 8x57 , 6.5x55 , 303 , 308 , 220 , 223 , 17 , 22.

    I think i'll have to make it tougher next time and throw in something exotic.;)

    I thought the 8X57 would'nt go so quickly.

    If ya got something you think will have us scratching heads, stick its up.

    Dwighet, Ya need to get out more:p:D

    Nice one Kramer, this should be fun.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    To the first one:

    .22WMR; .223 Rem; .308 Win; .50 Beowulf; .270 Win; 7mm Rem Mag; .30-06 Sprg; .338 Lap Mag; .50 BMG

    The .338 LM could be an 8x68S either, but fairly sure.


    For the second row:

    .22LR; .17HMR; .22 Hornet; 6mmBR Norma; .222 Rem; .223 Rem; 6.5x47 Lapua; .308 Win; 6.5x55 Swedish; 8x57IS; .30-06 Sprg; .300 Win Mag; .375 H&H Mag; .50 BMG


  • Registered Users Posts: 652 ✭✭✭Hezz700


    It wasn't me.

    I think the fourth one in your first list is a .500 S&W and not a .50 beowulf, cos the beowulf has a rebated head.

    I'm wondering about it as well Hezz, but based on COAL, since the Beowulf is designed to feed from a .223 magazine.

    When I saw the thread title, the first thing that came to mind was that someone had put 'just a bit of fun' down on their fca1 as reason required. :D

    IWM, great stuff. 100% correct on the 2nd picture.
    A couple wrong on the first though. I knew there'd be trouble identifying at least one of those little buggers :D.
    Good attempts though......


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,399 ✭✭✭dwighet


    IWM.....I thought I didnt have a life at all...But you take the cake;);)

    Well done..
