Thanks Joe. Just so you know, looking out my window it is sunny and around 71 degrees right now. Pack your bags and move back.

Idiot

Thanks - this is all good information.

WHY NOT? I get "why not." "Why" is what I'm curious about. If it comes down to nothing more than "why not" then I'll know that it has no practical purpose and is not a "tool" but instead just a "toy" and will know I'm not missing anything. Besides, ...

Idiot

Marketing Research determined that enough cheaply made gimmick guns would turn a quarterly profit which all corporations are a slave to. It's like the auto industry, the powers to be stopped building cars that American's wanted and made efeminate euro boxes and jelly beans :cry: You can still buy t...

Same reason people have Desert Eagle .50 AE's but only shoot at the range, or people with trucks with 8" lifts who never take them off-road, women with augmentation, - we could go on and on Because its America and we can ! :lol: :lol: If we were worried about what was reasonable and prudent, o...

Nice, anyone who brings out a rifle chambered in the 348 Winchester gets a tip of my hat. I sure wish NEF would make one in their Handi-Rifle. The new Winchester means more ammo and more reloading components, and after a couple years, more of these rifles offered at deep discounts on clearance websi...

Idiot

I've got a Winchester M94 Trapper sitting in my closet. It's of pre-safety vintage with a saddle ring and in very good to excellent condition. It's chambered in 30-30 Winchester. I've shot it less than 60 times and it was nearly new when I got it. It has only one flaw, the guy I bought it from put a...

Idiot

This topic was inspired by the "Rossi Ranch Hand" topic and my desire to not hijack it. Okay, I must be enlightened. What does one buy a mare's leg for? Within the few seconds thought I've given to this gun I've not been able to determine one practical reason for owning one. To me it's kin...

Idiot

You can get some decent ammo (factory equal) at the Hunting Shack for around $35.00 plus shipping. I buy ammo from them and it's pretty good stuff. Here's their link http://store.thehuntingshack.com/348winchester.aspx Rifle Magazine has done a couple articles on the Model 71. An article done by Gil ...

Ditto.

I trust and respect the ROs at the ranges I shoot at far more than the other shooters. Without the strict, by the book ROs at the ranges I shoot at, who are not afraid of confronting someone or scolding someone through the range speakers, there would be accidents all the time. The ranges near my hom...

Idiot

You did real good. I prefer the "E" over the others simply because it doesn't have that gimmicky hole in the side of it to let dust and dirt in (I never look to see how many cartridges are left in it anyway - after I shoot, I top it off). And once you get used to the safety at the lever yo...

Good - a fairy tale ending.

Idiot

I am dismayed that the designer(s) at Henry took so little interest in the Big Boys' appearance, opting for a Picasso-like rendition of the sleek lines of B.T.'s original materpiece.. They must be the type that really likes florid-faced fat chicks who can't dance, as long as they have brassy gold h...

Idiot

I don't own a Henry Big Boy. But I own a number of other Henry Rifles and have handled and coveted the Big Boy a number of times. I like Henry Rifles, especially their very smooth actions and excellent customer service. Given what you hunt in your neck of the woods, I suggest Speers 44 Magnum ammo l...

Idiot

Dang, but that was... Anyway, I think you've stumbled onto a solution to your road hunter/tresspassing problem - just string some speakers along your fence and turn yourself up. That "road kill rumble" is enough to scare anyone off!

Da best 1911 effer made vas made by the Norvegians!! Getjerself an M1914 and put a wimpy Sveedish style grip safety on it (we Norvegians yust laff at the pinchyness of da original 1911 grip safety) and you'll learn what dos Yerman fellers learned: Norsk Rules!! Now excuse me, I haff to butter my le...

Idiot

Quick question on ammo, someone mentioned staying away from thereporductions if I'm going to fire hot roundss. What do you consider hot rounds? Typicly when I go to the gun store to pick out ammo I just pick something cheap or middle of the road. Happy turkey coma day. When they mentioned reproduct...

jnyork got it right guys. I keep a bottle of tonic water in the fridge. I get intense calf and hamstrings cramps sometimes. You don't need to drink a bottle of it; a swig or two completely eliminates the cramps pronto. Much cheaper and more reliable than other store bought remedies. - DixieBoy Roge...

Idiot

Take a good look at Ruger, they make one with just enough bells and whistles to get the job done, and at a darn good price. If I was to buy a new 1911, it would be Ruger.

Idiot

foxtrapper, that's a darn good question. I wondering the same thing just this weekend. It looks like I'll have to pick up a lifetime supply from Amazon or where ever else they can be found. Thanks for the topic post.

Idiot

Very Good Idiot, must be a "Back East thing". there were about 50 Men who attended the auction and they all went for alot more than I would have thought. I talked to this Old Gent a few weeks ago and was suprised to learn that He still had a few 99's including a 250-3000 He showed Me seve...

I have two marlin 30-30's. I like th looks of the savage 99 There you go - a reason - and quick too. :wink: Every levergunner has to have a reason ready to justify that new levergun acquisition. I had to use one just two hours ago when I told my wife I'd just bought a Ruger 99/22M. I know, I know, ...

Any 30-30's better than no 30-30.

I've made it a habit to check before each shooting day. And when I'm in the desert, I check anytime my guns have been sitting for more than a few hours. Wasps take no time to build a nest.

Idiot

Sounds like the perfect hunt. Congrats!

Idiot

Great!

Idiot

I'll agree with Austin Dillon, but I really wanted Ron Hornady, but Kyle fixed that. On the other hand Rick Stenhouse Jr. won and I was happy for that. And the Ravens beating Bengals was good with a great finish and now they're at the top of their division. And Tony winning was good since the only o...

I see there's a write up on the.348 in Decembers 2011 issue of Handloader.FYI. Unfortunatley is wasn't worth the time it took to read. Barsness wrote it and I thought it would be good, but it was nothing but filler - he acquired a 348 and gives a little 348 history and then says he'll take it hunti...

Heap good joke!

"Alrighty then." I sure like mine - it is a tank. Have fun.

Idiot

1). How is the recoil (double-action revolver compared to a single action)? 2). Did you exchange the wood stocks with rubber (Pachmeyer, I would like to stick with the wood)? 3). Am I nuts? By the way I also own a Ruger SP-101 in .357, so I will not be DA-less. 1.) The same, but less felt when the ...

Every once in a while I scan Gunbroker just looking at the going asking prices of various leverguns.I was looking at the M-71's and almost fell out of my chair.Prices are out of sight :shock: Prices ran from $1400 to $4500 with most in the $2000 neighborhood and up,up and up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idiot

An original good condition 71 is worth the $1200+ that I am seeing, the better condition the more $$. The Browning and later models are still worth the $1200-$1500 range depending on features but not much more. Just me, or does anyone else find it odd that an original 71 in good condition will not ...

Idiot

I also thinking maybe 8x68 but that might be a bit much for me. If I could construct a 8x64mm I would. That is what I would be looking for in a rifle cartridge. You can find a good M98 military Mauser at most gun shows for $250. Since it will likely be chambered in 8X57 Mauser, you could simply rec...

Idiot

8 grains of Unique under a 270 grain RCBS 270SAA bullet is my favorite 45 Colt load. It's a low recoil, accurate, hard hitting load. What else could one ask for?

http://www.mtbaldybullets.com/asp/products.asp

Idiot

A 250 grain load at 2,300 fps is as near perfect a load as one could want for heavy non-dangerous game. This load's balance of bullet weight and velocity will likely produce the outstanding results. From there, as you go up in weight you will come down in velocity. And because the M71's overall cart...

Idiot

There is almost nothing period correct on Bonanza, not the saddles, the gun rigs, or Lorne Greene's toupee.

Idiot

You're falling in the same trap I did when I first really started messing with leveractions 12 or so years ago ! I wanted to try every available bullet I could find in each cartridge I owned be it the 218 Bee all the way to the 45-70 or 450 Marlin ! Nothing wrong with that trap mind you , but somet...

Idiot

Thanks for the responses. I'm learning something here... :D And I appreciate it. :D I agree, the 348 Winchester has a lot more swat than the 375 Winchester, but the 375 Marlin is a lot more handy than the M71. Hmmmm... Now I've really got to try the Hornady 220 grainers. They are certainly less expe...

Idiot

6pt-sika, how did the 220 Hornady bullets perform on game? Did they open at extended ranges (beyond 100 but less than 200 yards)? Were they pretty reliable killers? I tend to lean toward the more heavy bullets. And, actually, I consider the 250 grain bullet a tad light in 375 caliber. Besides, I wan...

Idiot

I've spent more time studying this cartridge and components, and RL7 is emerging as the powder for the load intended. Is this the powder of choice for a hard hitting 250 grain load, or is there another powder I should look into? I will read a bit more about the Norma 200 powder. There also seems to ...

He always says "You just say you want it and you can pick it up whenever you want to". I didn't say the words though. Ain't that scary. The pawn shop I frequent uses the words "want me to put it in the back for you?" I'm about ready to have my bank just send their bank an automa...

I'm with Bill in Oregon, I can't remember the last time I seen my bench. I now work off of two portable benches and have completely surrendered my loading bench to "stuff."

You are very well organized, and it looks good, but it's kinda creepy.

Idiot

Congrats, I kinda regret buying one when they were plentiful and cheap. Have fun and don't make the same mistake twice.

Going to put it on the market next spring and try and move somewhere more secluded. I notice pine trees in the background of your avatar. Around here pine trees are nothing more than muffinoid magnets. I'm currently looking for land where there are no pines, few trees, and mostly sagebrush, and the...
