As Mater would say, sounds like "fun, fun."

Idiot

Don, this ain't a bad time of year to do some shooting and other fun things. The calving's over, the cattle are in the second range, the run off has come and gone and the mud is drying out, things are greened up and growing and cuttings still a little ways off, and the morning chill is burned off at...

Idiot

The Ruger you mentioned is the best of the bunch and over the long haul will be the best value. The Ruger 77 MarkII action morphs the best features of the Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 and the 98 Mauser actions and combines it with a modern accurate barrel and decent stock. If you feel romantic, the Re...

Darn hard to beat Wal-Mart. If I can't get ammo from Wal-Mart, or a local maker, I reload, and reload, and reload.

Idiot

But, I don't ride motorcycles, so I don't have anything to compare it with. You know when you make this comment: "If you have to ask, you'll never understand." , it makes me wonder if you can't put your own reasons into words, so rather than trying you cut down the asker. Joe Now Joe, I o...

That is a really nice early shovel. They are not seen everyday. Thanks for the picture.

Like earlier suggested, CR-10 - here's a link http://barnesbullets.myshopify.com/prod ... eaner-8-oz .

I use CR-10 per the directions, then run a wet patch of Hoppe's #9, followed by a dry patch , and I'm done.

Idiot

The difference between a 16" and 20" barrel firing 150 30-30 Winchester ammo is right around 100 fps, which results in no practical effect. And as Hobie stated the bore expansion ratio is much better in the 35 Remington than a 30-30, so the velocity drop should be even less. As far as nois...

Idiot

Heap good story - something to learn from. I am a gun show jerk. Often, when someone tries that with me, I get my facts straight, circle the table and wait until it's full, then go back and ask a whole lot of questions, taking up a whole lot of time, before exposing the thief in front of as many peo...

Idiot

Because they're retarded. I can't imagine why anyone would shot anything other than a 30/06, 22LR, or 12 guage. And while we're at it, why does anyone still use leather when Kydex does it all?

Idiot

Regarding rifles, when I ain't shooting Marlins or Winchesters I'm shooting Weatherbys. I don't own a 257 WM yet, but in coues deer country, I can't think of anything better.

Of course not! No coloring outside the lines here.

Idiot

A lot of ink has formed the words "the 348 Winchester is equal in velocity to the 30/06 when using 180 grain bullets." That is likely true. However, the 348 Winchester's ability to use heavier bullets of greater diameter make if more practically powerful on big beasts up close. A 30/06 can...

Idiot

Hey pal, that's an excellent rifle, chambered in a very useful cartridge, offered at a good price. Don't be stupid and stingy - buy it.

Idiot

I, on the other hand, like hockshops, or at least some hockshops. Usually a good variety of guns come and go through their doors, including rare and discontinued models, in all types of conditions. I find them to be the best place to find that old Marlin, or Pre-64 Winchester, or Abilene, or whateve...

I got the joke and laughed a little, but the blatant disrespect the golfer had for other golfers is not indicative of all golfers. I know it’s easy for stupid people to pick out just one golfer, who is obviously wrong and a thief, no less, and then paint other golfers with same broad brush. Golfers ...

Big bull elk verses tough 200 grain Hornady .348 SP bullet leaving the muzzle at 2,500 fps through the boiler room - my money's on the bullet. :D I have shot these bullets through tough "medium" that I won't identify - and they have always proven to be plenty tough. To feed my M71, I've go...

Idiot

The Hornady bullet is plenty tough enough for elk. The correct Hawk bullet (visit their website) will perform well on elk as well. Hey, a well placed Remington Cor-Lokt 170 grain 30-30 Winchester bullet will knock down any elk walking the forest. Use either bullet, get close, hit it right, and you w...

I wouldn't buy that thing no matter who made it; ain't in my book of interests.

If I'm out of bacon grease, I spray some WD-40 on some old chonies and wipe 'em down with it. I only clean my guns when they need cleaning, which ain't alot.

Idiot

Sure, why not. Half the stuff I own comes from Wal-Mart, and most of the stuff they sell comes from China. The same can be said about Sears and Home Depot as well - the other two places I shop. My Chi-Com made Remington 870 knock-off shotgun is just as well made as my 870 knock-off made in American ...

Idiot

I've settled on 150 grain bullets because I can then match my reloads to factory loads that are most available at Wal-Mart in my area, which is 150 grains - dogs, deer, javalina, antelope, and other medium sized game that needs killing won't know the difference.

Is it fit to take my six-year-old grandson? We watch westerns together, and enjoy the shooting and such, but don't want him hearing mother $#%@^&! and such as that. Jeff Not a lot of cussing - I can't remember any. However, it is dark and a bit bloody and graphic in parts. I took my 13 year old...

I just got back from watching the new True Grit. It was okay, certainly entertaining, but flat. The movie appeared to more a series of well acted scenes, than an movie with a story holding it together. There were three flaws I couldn't get by, one was this: it is the job of the director to present R...

Yep, got two of them. One is a USRA Winchester 30-30 with no safety, no rebounding trigger, no scope friendly angle-eject, no nothing that makes it any different than the ones Winchester had been producing around the beginning of the last century. The other is a Marlin in 44 Magnum, with a safety, c...

I STRONGLY recommend bullet casting..or at least the purchase of cast bullets for the .348. We're not talking about a rifle/caliber combo you get into to shoot 1 hole groups.

Idiot

Do yourself a favor and pick up a Lee FCD for 348. They used to be a standard item (when the Brownings came out) but don't know if that is still the case or not. Even if it is special order, get it anyway. It will save you a lot of crumpled cases. The geometry of the 348 case is suceptable to the f...

Several years ago, on the topic of full buckhorn sights, I wrote they were almost worthless because they covered up most of the target. I, of course, was roasted over hot coals for this statement and I later, in a rare fit of humility and deceit, apologized and said I was wrong for making such a bla...

Idiot

A hundred rounds of new brass will get you at least 5 or 6 hundred rounds of shooting - that's a lot of big game hunting. Bullets are what really need stocking. Hornady only runs batches of 348 bullets as well.

Idiot

My question is, will a bull know the difference between my Browning 71 and a 45-70? Not unless the moose is a member of this board. If he is he will take a stand just the opposite of yours, draw a line in the sand and then argue endlessly about grains and bullet design, exit wound size and shooting...

The answer is no. On it best day, regardless of its wildest dreams, the M86 Winchester could never become the top of the heap, pinnacle of perfection that is the M71. It isn't only the cartridge that defines the M71; it is the rifle as well. Answer this question; can a Chevy Biscayne become a Cadill...

This movie is beginning to look good, real good.

I was gonna wait for the DVD, but now I think I'll go to the theater and watch it.

Idiot

Wow, what a lot of noise.

Just by a Marlin in the superior 444 Marlin chambering and go hunting. The barrel won't be too thin, factory ammo is already loaded "up" enough, and the game won't be able to tell the difference between it and the ancient 45/70 Government. Solved.

Idiot

The Model 71 was next in development and public offering sequence to Winchester's Model 70. As a result it was dubbed the Model 71.

I like mine, especially after Steve Young of Steve's Gunz ( www.stevesgunz.com ) fixed and improved it. It shoots straight and hits hard.

Perhaps you didn't miss. Elk don't always show signs of being hit. I missed an elk once, even looked for blood to confirm the miss, then found it deader than Lincoln later in the day while passing back through the area. Perhaps you didn't miss.

Thanks Rangerider7. The places I tread have a lot of rattlers so I will keep my eyes peeled even more. I usually see them before they rattle, but there have been a couple occassions that the rattle is what kept me from stepping on one. And BTW, I'm with the pigs - rattlesnakes make a fine meal.

That short barrel will not take advantage of the greater pressure curve of the .444. A 2.5 inch shorter barrel will not make your 444 Marlin a 44 Magnum. You...
