Tube Fed Pump Rifles

BattleRifleG3 · 10-27-2003, 10:15 AM

I figure it would be cool to have some rifles out there that feed like shotguns, figure it would make good use of rimmed cartridges. I know there have been some here and there, but maybe we need a whole new product line. What would you want to see in a pump?

I voted for the 30-30 just b/c it is my favorite round for where I live. I'd give it a try I suppose.

BTW what is a 357 Maximum. I've not heard of it I don't think.

357 Maximum is a higher pressure, longer version of 357 Rem Mag. 357 Rem Mag and 38 Spec will fit guns chambered for the Max.

Nebbie an not familiar with pump guns, but I seem to remember that they have some limitations of pressures on the action. Remington produced some in a .35 but that was a long time ago and dropped the line.

What is the most potent pump rifle, now days or is that the reason for the quiz? Just not any tube fed High power pumps out their.

.44 Magnum personally..but .454 Casull would be tempting

Remington does special runs of their pumps in 35 Whelen, a necked up 30-06 with a little more oomph.

I think it was Rossi that used to have a slick 38/357 pump rifle.
