Kibler Rifles What Caliber or Gauge

[cebusey]

I'm curious, if you were at a gun show, flea market, local gun shop, etc...
And there was multiple, complete Kibler rifles for sale, what caliber, smooth or rifled or what gauge would you be more likely to buy? Or other folks be more likely to buy?

SMR: .32, .36, .40, .45
Colonial: .50, .54, .58 Smooth or Rifled
Woodsrunner: .45, .50, .54
Fowler: 20ga or 16g


Thank you for any and all replies.

Completed colonial .58 smooth

I’d think an SMR .40 in extra fancy would be a hot seller at a gun show.

Completed colonial .58 smooth

I completed a Colonial .58 smooth not long ago. It shot patched balls and bare balls pretty dog gone good.

Thanks for your reply.

Don't know about the other folks but for me it would be the Woodsrunner cal. 54.

I’m holding out for a Woodsrunner in .54. Not interested in the fowler- I just don’t like that barrel profile.

SMR: 40 cal For an all around target and competition gun.

Colonial: 58 rifled elk thumper (however, I'm filling this slot with a different 58 that will be about 2# lighter)

Woodsrunner: 54 cause elk thumper.

Fowler: 16 ga for small game and birds including turkey. No interest in shooting balls out of a smooth bore (of all these stated choices, this is the one I'm near sure to buy)

Usage and needs would be the determining factor for me.

To fill in my gaps I would get:

20 gauge Fowler
32 Cal SMR
50 Cal Woodsrunner

 

[BigAl52]

Ive got a Woodsrunner in 50. I keep watching this guy @B P Maniac Shooter Shooter having way to much fun with his smoothie and now I think I need one to play with. So Im thinking about a 20 ga since I would shoot those big round balls out of mine

Thanks SeaRun, appreciate your response.

 

[Appowner]

You're correct, usage is a big factor.
Thanks

Probably the primary factor when it comes to caliber selection. Wouldn't want to go after a Brown Bear with a .22 no matter how purty it was!

Gun Slough not sure where your located. But in April their is the Tennessee Longrifle show in Knoxville. There's always a few SMR and Woodsrunner guns for sale. I don't think Kibler goes to Friendship anymore.?
Besides it's always nice to handle a gun before you buy it.JMPO

In January there is a gun show in Alabama. Put on by Calgary Longrifles. Small show but all traditional Longrifles and such. Information is on the American Longrifle site. Check it out..

I have gotten over cancer and chemo and at 76 needed a light rifle so I got the SMR in 45. She is a real peach.
