I don't own one currently the main reason is the price. BUT were I to come across that here local for $375, then I would quickly remedy that situation. I have shot plenty of ported rifles and shotguns over the years, and don't see a thing wrong with them. That sounds like a great deal, you better sn...

At the risk of sounding even LESS cool than I am, let me opine! I grew up shooting an old fiberglass bear recurve. We didn't have a lot of money and whenever I ran out of my allotment of .22's, and 12ga (which was pretty often) I would drag out the old bow. I have taken A LOT of squirrel, rabbit, an...

I have family and friends in LE, and they are very pro-civilian carry/ownership/etc. I know several others, and have heard them talk about a lot more that are completely against us poor civilians having guns. It is sad, but most of the US vs THEM mentality seems to be coming from them. My experience...

I have always felt that for each job there was a proper tool. I hunted deer growing up with a bolt gun, even in to my late 20's, but before that my little marlin 39a golden mountie was my squirrel, rabbit, varmint gun. It points and shoots so natural that it is second nature. About the time I hit 30...

Definitely been a pleasure. I do a lot more reading over here than on most of the other boards I am on, not because of anything other than I enjoy the feel, and don't think I need to put in my $.02 that often. This is the nicest board I have ever had the pleasure to be on. Hobie and everybody here a...

Something you may want to give some though to while its taken apart and you're going to refinish it, is the bevel on the lower edge of the receiver. That's one of the things that was changed on the post-64 guns. The earlier ones had a more pronounced bevel, and were more comfortable to carry in the...

Wow guys, thanks for the ideas, love the pics too. This is making me very excited about my little project. Tore it all down last night, and am going to run the barrel and receiver to the smith today to get the barrel shortened (he said he would get to it in the next week). It was the first time I ev...

I have a lot of guns that I really like, but my absolute favorite would have to be my little 39 mountie. Grew up shooting mom's 67, wore out a firing pin in it by the time I was 14. It was one of the first guns I ever refinished. Till this day it is one of the best shooting guns I have ever held. Bo...

Was hunting off Catoosa in Morgan Co, long walk in following an old loggin trail in the dark, at lunch I hadn't seen a thing so I decide to head back to the truck. Since its light I take the short cut (about 1/2 the distance) I scramble up the bluff and head across a big wooded flat, step over a log...

OK a little while back I came across a little rough 1970 something 94- 30/30 that was in need of a lot of TLC (ugly stock, no finish on the receiver, much of the blue worn off the barrel and tube etc), it just followed me home somehow.... you guys know how it is. When I found it I was thinking about...

TCB in TN

Well, I have both and couldn't argue against either. (.308 in the BLR and 336 in the 30-30). My 77 336 is a good shooting thing, it don't have the range of the .308 but its plenty accurate IMHO. I also love my BLR. Don't see myself letting either one go. I got my 336 in good used shape for about $22...

Just came out in video this week. Never got to see on the big screen, but rented it last night and I have to say it is a great movie! Very funny and really love the guns. The mare's leg is awesome. Makes me want to go ahead and get the stamp and make me one.

Welcome from a fellow teacher and gun enthusiast! What do you teach? I live in puberty's abyss! (6th grade math) here in middle TN.

Thanks guys, like I said don't see many of the straight stocked ones here local, so getting an idea on a fair price is kinda hard. I reallly love the straight stocked rifles, grew up with a 67 mountie and just think that is what a rifle should look like. BTW I know about bidding insanity. Have been ...

I was curious about decent pricing for either of the two GB auctions we have plenty of pistol grip 336 around local but don't see many straight stocked ones. Have a couple pistol gripped ones already, but was wanting to have a straight stocked one to go with my 39A Mountie. These both look like nice...

I love both my short actions also. I am thinking about a long action 30-06, but the guys who spoke of them said they just don't feel right? I have never seen one anywhere to confirm what I have heard about them. The one big thing that caught my attention the 1st time I picked my .308 up was how smo...

TCB in TN

Not just a lot I can add to the above. A buddy had on in .243 that I loved to I decided I needed one. That was back in 93. It was a brand new .270. It was very stiff action wise, but a good oiling and cycling it about 500 times, and it began to smooth up. It was an excellent shooting and handling ri...

I really like this guns site but it's amazing how' y'all manage to forcefully insert conservative/anti-Democrat political ieology into almost every kind of discussion. If an anti-gun plank hadn't been inserted into the Democrat platform it might not be that way. There are certainly PRO-gun democrat...

I have had the BL22 and the 9422, and shot the Ruger, and think all are great guns, but for me you just can't beat a good 39A mountie. Now don't get me wrong there are things that I would like to change (Stainless, 16 1/2 laminated stock, and back in production) but I still think it is the closest t...

A 38spl will do a good job. Lets face it the .38spl and the 9mm are for all intents and purposes the 9mm and the .38spl +P+ are ballistic twins. (I picked the two following loads because they are what I have loaded here at home.) A std 9mm 125gr runs about aa80 fps for about 383 ft/lbs of energy. A ...

I understand that coyotes are predators but so am I.

I have no empathy for coyotes, they ...

A pea shooter in the pocket beats a cannon in the car! Not saying the .32 mag is a pea shooter, but the analogy holds. IMHO one should carry the BIGGEST cal that 1, they can shoot accurately, and 2 comes in a package that they will carry regularly. Cause if you don't got it, it won't help you!

IMHO this is going to have a huge impact on the other new congressmen and senators, especially those who ran as a conservative democrat. They will have to be very careful to not tick off their base, this will likely mean a move to the right, which will leave the lefts position exposed.

Had one in .270, shot great, but had a bit longer throw than I like. Now have one .308, and she is a keeper. Shoots straight, handles nices, pretty to look at! Can't complain a bit! Probably the only gun I own w/o sentimental value that I will not part with!

I don't know if I would like to do that or not. I have hunted some big hogs, killed a few with a knife, and even live caught several.

Ironic that the U.S. 'allows' more gun ownership, but has extremely strict restrictions on suppressors - not sure what that bunch of laws is supposed to accomplish, other than make shooting ranges more dangerous, and cause more people to wind up needing hearing-aids. That comes IMHO because far to ...

A Marlin 39A Mountie is my favorite. It's heavier and the action is firmer to work than the Henry, 9422 or BL-22. It feels more like my centerfire lever action rifles than the others which is why I like it so much. Very accurate and not picky about ammo types or brand. Ditto, I have owned the 9422,...

Love my little mountie, but have thought it would be fun to have an even shorter version. Also would love to have a little straight stocked, 16in 30-30. Have seen a couple over the years, but have never been able to get my hands on one. May have to end up settling for a Winny (if I want a straight s...

I like both, typically I think the Smiths look better, and feel a little better in my hand, but Rugers are a little beffier built, and I have found them to be real good shooters. I have also found that Rugers are typically a little less expensive (at least locally). Either should do you right! Pick ...

Grew up shooting a Marlin 39a mountie and a Winny 94/22. ALWAYS picked the Marlin if I had a choice. When it comes to the 94 vs the 336 I like the 336in everything except the stock. Like the straight stock on the Winny better, but in my experience and in my opinion the marlin is the better of the tw...

My fav. is the Marlin 39A mountie, they just fit me. I have a preference for all of the Marlins over the Winchesters, mainly because of the feel of the action. I do much prefer the straight stock to the pistol grip (which is harder to find in the Marlin). I have and really do like the little straigh...

I love my little .308 BLR its a great compromise between the traditional lever gun and a bolt rifle. I have seen them local go in the $500-550 range. Not cheap, but certainly a fine rifle for the money.

Had a couple over the years, and they are OK for what they are Decent enough plinkers, and as said before they are not a Ruger, but are accurate enough plinkers.
