Blast from the past weapon pack

[supple pumice]

Winchester Model 8 .35 Rem

Winchester Model 62 .22 pump

Westley and Richard's .425

Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1903 carbine 6.5x54mm

Springfield M1898 .30-40 Krag

.45-70 rolling block rifle

I know EW can't use the exact models but something close would be awesome.

Not sure where each would be classed, I'll leave that up to yall.

[calm thorn]

Finally! someone else mentioned a Westley Richard’s! I felt like the only one

[frigid dawn]

I have seen a .35 pump and they are so cool!

[supple pumice]

.35 Rem would be nice to have in game

[frigid dawn]

How about a 38-40 Winchester model 1873, heck I have one of those IRL

[supple pumice]

I like the 1873. I have one in .45 Colt with the octagon barrel. Havent used mine for hunting just a nice piece for the collection. If they add another lever I would prefer either a Winchester 1895 or Marlin 39A.

[rapid egret]

I'd like an old fashioned .303 personally

[supple pumice]

The sporter in game doesn't do it justice. I doubt they would give us a reskin though. Old surplus like this are very common hunting rifles and can be picked up for fairly cheap around where I live. .303 is one of the best cartridges I've shot personally. Love the full length forestock.

[rapid egret]

i literally grinded for my 1st g1 red deer with the .303, just the best

[supple pumice]

Same for my Whitetail g1. The .303 just feels better than most of the rifles of that range in game. I have it in most of my loadouts.

[rapid egret]

yeah theres something about it thats just different, easy to handle, for me at least, i love it, i customized it to look older kinda

[rapid egret]

the m1 looks good though, just has a little too much recoil

[supple pumice]

The flat trajectory and smooth action animation makes it really nice to use for long sessions of whitetail.

[supple pumice]

The M1 is nice, I just prefer bolt action and levers in the game.

[rapid egret]

yeah the 303 is my favorite gun, even though the semi autos are nice, i think they overshadow the rest of the guns

[supple pumice]

Completely agree. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple other semi autos( M1 carbine, Model 8) but would really like some unique rifles like above. I just like having lots of options to change out and run from time to time. I'll probably always go back to the .303 though.

[rapid egret]

more guns = more fun

[frigid dawn]

How about a Winchester 94, or just a buff to 30-30

[supple pumice]

30-30 needs some love.

[frigid dawn]

I know, I’ve had a lot of fun with them IrL

[supple pumice]

Same here but in game it just feels underwhelming. I would like to see it buffed

[frigid dawn]

Yeah, it’s a smaller sized bullet but it’s fast, plenty enough to drop a deer.

[stiff heart]

The rolling block and M1898 mmm mmm! EW make it happen!

[stone sandal]

excuse me!? I've been suggesting a .318 WR for like a year at this point

[calm thorn]

I was talking about the 425

[dapper breach]

Idea, a lebel or a kropatschek

Classic tube fed milsurp, one very famous, one not really so famous.

[supple pumice]

I was trying to keep it towards guns that had a storied hunting past. I've seen both of these but were they used much for traditional hunting like the rifles above?

[dapper breach]

That's a very fair point, and tmk the lebel barely made it into ww1 never mind doing anything after

[supple pumice]

Don't get me wrong the lebel has an awesome history and story for its development. A fascinating piece of firearms history.

[dapper breach]

In which case, ideas 2 and 3, a sharps, or a trapdoor Springfield

The classic Buffalo rifle, and a very popular frontier rifle.

[supple pumice]

Springfield 1873 is an absolute classic. I didn't add it because it was on a few other post I had seen.

[dapper breach]

Dood, add like a 50-90, and you'd have a fine class 9 rifle

[warm river]

The title of this weapon pack is fantastic!

[supple pumice]

Thanks

[late ibex]

.280 remington or any of the Ackley improved cartridges preferably bolt action rifles. 7mm08 would also be a great addition as well. There's many cartridges I could bring up but I personally think theses are some of the greatest options in my opinion.

[stone sandal]

I know we have a 6.5 in the game, but that thing is a shadow of the king.

6.5x55 Swede, a lightweight rifle but one of the most well loved and broadly used cartridges in he world. Everything from springboks to moose and from Sweden to Africa this is one one the most popular hunting rifles in the world

[stone sandal]

This is a .303, but this rifle also comes in .45-70 and any rimmed cartridge will work. .348, .30-30,.32-30, 9.3x74r (please more 9s )

[stone sandal]

Bumped up for the sake of variety

[stone sandal]

More lever action rifles would be great, some of us just like the old school weapons

[frigid dawn]

I want some of the old pistol caliber stuff. Like 38-40

[stone sandal]

.44-40 is actually a beast of a deer round

[frigid dawn]

A .357 would be nice, also a Galileo scope

[stone sandal]

A WM Malcolm style scope would be cool, lever actions for the pistol calibers would be really cool

[frigid dawn]

Winchester model 1873 should be there next lever

[stone sandal]

Here's a .454 lever action, a Spikedriver

[tired plank]

I think I included a 454 Lever-action on #1070045518002147458 but I can always double check

[stone sandal]

You did, that was the first rime I thought about a .454 lever action, I'm thinking about ordering one now

[stone sandal]

Why were none of these in the poll? There was so much wasted potential

[stone sandal]

Bump, these guns are still extremely interesting

[stone sandal]

Old school guns like these have so much more class and style than modern ones

[dapper breach]

Idea for an old fashioned airgun

[pure ledge]

Bighorn armory for that 454? Only other one ive seen is rossi

[stone sandal]

Yup

[stone sandal]

Bumped again

[merry pewter]

.45-70 rolling block would make bison hunting more fun for sure.

[stone sandal]

Here's an old school bear rifle. .348 Winchester has a solid reputation for taking down bear moose and bison up in Alaska and has diehard fans for African hunts too. You can mount regular scopes and dot sights on the reproduction models but it's still a classic lever action

[stone sandal]

Bump

[stone sandal]

Yup, more old school classics

[frigid elbow]

Sharps 1874 and Winchester 1895

What about that one four shot double barrel Hungarian rifle from capandballtv?

[calm thorn]

Is this what you’re talking about?

[frigid elbow]

Km fairly sure

I remember it being the same caliber for all 4 barrels, and they were stacked more squarely. Lemme find the vid

https://youtu.be/CUuqdAQmt2Q?si=DRcNj8Lgs5gxp2DT

[tired plank]

Another example of a 4 barreled rifle was One rare variant of the Lancaster Pistol, made for the Maharajah of Rewa as a hunting weapon, took the form of a four barreled rifle. (https://firearmshistory.blogspot.com/2014/01/oval-bores-and-colindian.html)

[dull aurora]

I’m curious about the 425 bolt action

[stone sandal]

Fond this, a .425 WR falling block rifle. This is just made by WR themselves so they can chamber it in any other cartridge they work with

[crystal jasper]

Rifle look familiar ?
Well it's a Westly Richards single shot falling Block. Though I'm not sure of the caliber of specific one, I'm sure of who's holding it. It's Sir Frederick Courtney Selous himself. Personally if we recive either the falling block or the .425 WR Mauser action take down rifle (or both) I really hope EW considers taking inspiration from his name for the rifles names in game

[stone sandal]

Mr. Selous was very fond of the WR calibers and his favorite was .318 rimless, with .425 a close second from what I've read

[crystal jasper]

Maybe we can get a weapon pack titled "The Selous selection" with some of his rifles, like the .318 and .425

[stone sandal]

Omg yes, I'd be ecstatic for that

[crystal jasper]

Maybe if we ask EW really nicely lol

[stone sandal]

Or explain that we'd pay well lol

[crystal jasper]

I think that's the best incentive for that pack to be made

[stone sandal]

Bump
