Done. Let us know when you can....

86er

I commend your decision. I have never been afraid to make a gun into the tool I need it to be in spite of value, looks, etc. If I don't like shooting it it is worthless to me. Congratulations on taking the steps to make your gun a good shooter for you!

and this nocturnal nuisance strolls in! Oh well.....

Based on a bunch of information on this forum here and there I was lead to believe the all copper bullets are longer than their composite cousins in the same weight. Today some customers were loading "on the spot" to try different 45-70 loads on some cull bison. I was not there but I got a...

I did not want to hijack someone else's thread about the Stoney Point products being great. However, I wanted to let you guy know about this inexpensive option for shooting sticks/tripod For a couple of years we have been purchasing picture stands (aka display stands) at the local arts and crafts st...

86er

Here is the tripod I referred to in my previous reply. Folded up with the doorknob for reference and extended for standing shooting position.

The Vari-X 3X9 Compact is 33mm.

I'm with OI on this one. I tried a Bore Snake and got excellent results. I went and purchased on for .22, use one for .45 and one for .50. In combination with a foaming bore cleaner I get good shiny barrels with about 3 or 4 passes of the snake. That's all the barrel cleaning I'm into anyway.

86er

I very much like the Stoney Point Magnum sticks like ScottT describes. They are light and portable. For a couple of years we have been purchasing picture stands (aka display stands) at the local arts and crafts store or sometimes on sale at Office Depot. They are foldable tripods with extendable leg...

I ended up 70 something % towards Thompson

I messed around with the 3 thing safety too. I agree it is safe and with some forethought I can disengage it quietly, but slowly. I still would not condone moving from place to place with a round in the chamber, however if you're going to this is one of the safest systems to do so. Right about the o...

86er

I'll FedEx them to your street address today - otherwise I will be gone for 2 weeks.

86er

I agree that the 3 position safety is, well safer. I can see keeping it quiet if you are conscious about it too. However, I don't condone moving around with a round in the chamber, EXCEPT for dangerous game. A rifle like a 375 Ruger is at home in dangerous game country. I don't think that is the rig...

86er

Is it just me or are these things horrible contraptions? A few years ago we were filming a bear hunter in a stand. The bear came and when the hunter flipped the safety off the racket sent the bear running for the woods. I had another similar incident where a fallow deer was just feet from a ground ...

OK Sore Shoulder : I can send them tomorrow if you'd like.

Slogan makes a sling they call the "Bow Sling", however I have used it to great success on a number of rifles and shotguns that did not have sling swivels on 'em.

We have only two people confirmed so far. 3 including me. There are more openings, so borrow from that retirement fund, have a garage sale or spend your anticipated tax return ! I hope to see at least two more levergunners on this trip!

86er

Thanks for the correct year of manufacture on this.

86er

Thanks 2ndovc - and I'll see you on your turf on Monday the 24th of Sept.

86er

Jazman: you're a little far from me as far as shipping. FedEx ground is $9.70 from me to you. If you will do $34 even I'll send 'em.

86er

Anyone else ?

Looks like the Herter's bow is 52# and 27 1/2 inches.

86er

There are 15 arrows total. Each is 28" shaft length not including tip or nock. Includes 100 grain field points. Fletching is mostly Quick Spins with 3 Blazers and 3 standard 4" veins. Camo colored. I am no longer using aluminum arrows. $25 for the 15 of 'em. http://i108.photobucket.com/alb...

RSY : The new guitar that will replace this one will eat up a lot of funds, and I have been getting along fine with one for 2 decades. Just trying to soften the price of the new one.

86er

I do not reload, but I shoot with a guy who did what you're looking into. He plucked the plastic tip out of bullets and tried two different filler: accraglas and epoxy. He felt the hard filler would assist expansion and hold and seal better. They worked fine on paper but as far as I know he has yet ...

I have for sale my Takamine EF440C Acoustic/Electric. This is a discontinued Takamine, but one of their best! 15 years old in perfect condition. Has Graph-EX equalizer, pre-amp. I am having a custom guitar built by Zagar so this one must find a new home. $550 delivered in hard case. $500 w/o. http:/...

Some of the most devastating one shot knock downs I've witnesses on bears and moose came from 35 Whelens, some 7600's but all shooting 250gr ammo.

86er

The 30-30 cartridge in LeverEvolution is much more impressive than the 45-70. I get better ballistics than the LeverEvolution in 45-70 with my Grizzly Cartridge load of 405gr Kodiak @ 2000 fps.

86er

I commend you for going with a scope. If you're going to hunt with the gun or are obsessed with getting the most accuracy a scope is a huge help. Hey it comes off if you change your mind for some reason.

86er

You're welcome!

86er

Depending on your intended use I recommend a 30 or 32mm objective. The low light capability is greatly reduced with a 20mm. If you get great glass, a 28mm is a compromise that will probably get you through. Our bear hunts are in thick woods and the animals are active just before and up to dark. Many...

86er

We have two definites and two maybes. One NY'er maybe and one N.Carolinian maybe. We can take two more shooters if anyone is interested. Four if the maybes can't come. PM me if interested.

86er

There wasn't much meat damage regardless of cartridge. The lung shots ruined a few ribs, that's all. Even the shoulder shots put a .30 hole in one side and if they exited the hole was about .50.

10 fallow deer were killed today with a 30-30. Tried different ammo. Shots out to 100 yards, none further. 150 gr Remingtons accounted for 5 deer. 4 went down immediately with a behind the front leg shot. 1 into the shoulder shot resulted in the deer running 50 yards and standing to be shot again be...

I support the teachers. The notion that "How can you be sure the gun won't fall into a students hands" is ridiculous. First, the gun is concealed - the students are not likely to know the teacher has it. Second - some sort of training would help the teacher with gun retention. Lastly, how ...

Mike D. - Oh yeah. 4 holes.

This needs to be done on a Monday . How's the 8th of October?

Any details and pics?

Is this gun for sale?

86er

I need this gun for a project. Could be .257 Roberts, 25-06, - any .25 caliber including wildcats. Action doesn't matter too much, single shot like Ruger #1, Bolt Action like Browning, etc. Good working condition - don't care about nicks, dings, sights, even a broken stock. Must cycle and function. ...

You guys better behave and comply with family obligations! OI - Toni said to tell you all her customers are welcome back and we will make a point to accomodate you if you want a deer later on.

I converted a WWG Marlin scout mount to fit my Win 1886. I very much like the Leatherwood Hi-Lux 2X7X32 scout scope. For a very reasonable price is has performed flawlessly on my 45-70 with very stout loads and the optics are comparable to my Leupolds. When I travel I always bring an extra scope tha...

Mine is from 1962 - but I got it in 2006. It has quickly become one of my favorite rifles.

Guessing, the bear weighed between 225 and 270 pounds live weight. The shot was fired from 15 feet up in a treestand. Upon inspection, the bullet hit under the chin. It broke the neck and shoulder socket, tore out one lung and gashed the heart, went through the liver and stomach, broke the pelvis on...
