I have a 1.5X5 on mine and usually leave it on 1.5 power. Thats really all you need out to 150 yards, IMO. My son has a fixed 2.5 on his 30/30 and he has killed a pile of deer.

DerekR

Tennessee Wildlife Resources does a great job, in my opinion. The biggest problem we have is killing enough deer in the Middle Tennessee area. We can kill three doe per day, but many people don't kill enough doe. We like to fill our freezer, so we do our part! We can check the deer in via the intern...

Crocs.....that's right, I said crocs

Man.....that's redneck, eh?

They made some factory Low Walls in 454. I do not know how many. But they made some. I just missed a real deal on one about a month ago. A fellow had one he wanted to sell for $650, and it had great wood on it also. A soon as I contacted him it was gone. I would have bought that one in a minute for...

I have an old (1906) Winchester 1894 with a model 21 on it. My carbine is in .32 WS and I have seen several .32 WS carbines with the model 21 sight. My guess is that the ability to have so much elevation adjustment with the model 21 Lyman was appealing to owners of .32 WS carbines that might choose ...

I did a copperhead hide last year with the glycerin/alcohol and it has remained soft and supple. Very easy to do. I just used some liquid
glycerin from the drug store.

DerekR

I'd love a chance. Thanks!

Pardon my ignorance....what is Birdog6 patch lube? I might need to try some in my Hawken! Maybe it can make me shoot like that! The T/C stocks don't have much drop and they tend to be rough on the shooter cheek....especially from the bench. I try to stay of the bench and use shooting sticks instead....

DerekR

Thanks a bunch guys. Wind.....I'll drop you an email. I appreciate it!

I have searched and can't find a plain, flat checkered steel buttplate for a Winchester 94. I need the one that was used on the later pre-64 guns. Anybody have a lead on one?

Thanks guys.

My Springfield "Loaded" model. Only thing not stock are the grips.

DerekR

I have a Springfield "loaded" model that has never failed. Most of the rounds through it have been 200 grain cast loads with Unique.
A load I chose for economic reasons, not reliability. I have had a great experience with the Springfield.

DerekR

I found a cheap way to get some light bullet plinking loads in my 30/30s. You will find that plain-based cast bullets intended for the .32 pistol rounds are relatively cheap. They tend to be sized .312-.314. All three of my 30/30s will chamber cast bullets sized .311, so I bought a Lee .311 push-thr...

DerekR

Great news Mike! What caliber is your Bond Arms? I've been pondering one in .45/.410

DerekR

I've had luck with that bullet and 29 grains of W748.

I got this rifle, my first centerfire, in 1976 at age 14. It has scored more deer than any other rifle I own. Ammo isn't available at Walmart for $9 anymore, but I have dies and tons of brass. Both of my sons killed their first deer with this same rifle. Light recoil and a blood trail that is imposs...

I've been using the Lyman I have since I was 14 years old. darn.....that's 33 years!

I bought a used Heritage Manufcturing "Stealth" for $150. 9mm, 20 ounces empty and 9+1 capacity. Very similar to the KelTec 9mm. When I shot it the magazine would drop out of the gun! I called Heritage and they had me send it to them. They returned the gun with an all new upper and charged...

DerekR

That year model should have a slim stock with no checkering and no safety. That would be worth a few bucks to me.

DerekR

+ 1 Doc.....I love a little holster wear on my pistols. I also like a little sweat and oil on my holsters!

DerekR

If 10 will kill me give me 9.

DerekR

How about $300 ? I'd say that is fair both ways.

DerekR

Case Medium Stockman........everyday.

DerekR

My oldest was made in 1905 and my newest in 1975. The 1975 model is more accurate, but it sure doesn't look as good.
I took steel wool to the receiver since it was freckled anyway. The 70's model has more slack and rattles a little, but it is my
go to gun when I need to hit the woods.

DerekR

10-12 grains will lead your barrel if you don't use a gas check, most likely. I shoot 7 grains of Unique behind a 115 grain plain based bullet. It is accurate and no leading.

DerekR

I believe the Rodeo II is the matte nickle finish. I haven't actually seen one of those, but I have owned a blued Rodeo for a few years now. For what use you describe I think the Rodeo is about perfect. I'd love a Colt or a high dollar USFA, but for regular use I'll take the Rodeo. I "buffed&qu...

Anybody that duck hunts from a boat with a long-bow has to be an alright guy!

I have one on a Winchester 94 and I really like it.

I routinely find sea shells on our property here in MiddleTennessee. They claim that this part of our State was once the sea floor of a shallow ocean.
Crazy, huh?

DerekR

That is a fine lookin Mitchell 300 spin cast reel in the first pic. I grew up fishing with those and had a full supply of replacement parts. If one started acting up we could rebuild it to like new. These newer reels aren't made to fix.....at least not the cheap ones I buy!

I bought my first holster from Rob when he was still in Arizona. It is for a 3 inch S&W J-Frame. At that time I had him make me a belt and it is almost a "must-have" in my book. I recently had him make me a pancake for my short barreled Blackhawks. That holster actually makes even the ...

DerekR

A lead weight from the fishing supplies at your local store works great. Very soft and you can get ones that are sized to suit you. I use the bullet shaped weights used by plastic worm fishing. Get them a little larger than you bore and you are good to go.

DerekR

There is a pretty good chance the Lee Liquid Alox will solve your problem. I think your bullets are too hard.

DerekR

Green Mountain barrels can be had the drop in to the TC Hawkens, and I'm sure that would od in the White Mountain also. They have them in .32, but if'n it were me I'd go with the .40 caliber. I little lighter and easier to clean. I have a TC Cherokee in .32 and I like it. Accurate as all get out. ht...

I ordered a set of reduced power springs from Wolff for my 94AE. They sell a set with a 13 and 15 lb spring, IIRC. I used the 13 lb and I have had complete reliability, but if you don't have such luck you can step up the the 15lb spring. Big improvement with not much effort or money. http://www.guns...

My wifes family is all from Whitwell, TN. I live just out of Nashville and can be there in an easy two hour drive. Whitwell and Dunlap are typical rural small town Tennessee cities. Most of the the folks are hard working and honest. My wifes family are all big hunters and they kill lots of big bucks...

I look forward to seeing pics of your rifle J. I have an old 1894 .32WS that is just a few numbers lower than yours. Mine is a SRC and the only special order item is the smooth metal shotgun buttplate. It does have the Lyman 21 also. It seems that the Lyman 21s show up on a fair number of old .32WS....

For the urbanites, the truck gun might be a car gun. Easily concealable is good. Secure storage is mandatory: http://images44.fotki.com/v1409/photos/5/590147/2786028/gunbox-vi.jpg My choice would probably be a 3" or 4" stainless .357 revolver. Used ones frequently sell for $300 or less. T...

+1 on the Scanoe. I use one quite a bit on Tenneessee streams and rivers. They are not great to paddle alone. I usually mount an electric trolling motor to the back on the larger and swifter streams, especially if a weak paddler is manning the front! They do hold a lot of gear and are almost as stab...

DerekR

I thought it was worth the effort. I get dealer pricing from Midway USA and Brownells that have saved me way more than license cost. It sure is nice to have a C&R eligible gun shipped right to your door!

DerekR

One advantage to the Lee is it can be had in six-cavity. I have the Lee 452-200 swc, and it will make a pile of bullets in a hurry. Shoot 'em in my .45 Colts and my 1911. I have some bullets I bought cast from the RCBS 270SAA and they look and shoot good.

DerekR

For me it's the 7mm Magnum. The only magnum rifle I ever owned. Too long, too loud and overkill in the Tennessee woods I hunt.

DerekR

IMO, the Lee Anniversary kit is a good buy at any stage of reloading. I bought one AFTER I bought a Dillon 550 progressive just to do low volume things on. The Lyman reloading manual was my favorite when I first got started. Go to Lee Precisions website and they have some videos you can download tha...

My run-of-the-mill NM Blackhawk .45 Colt.

I love it! Cast bullet, Unique and an 1895 Cowboy. That Cowboy model turns my crank.
Congrats k8bor!

I wanted to see if any of you have any experience with these guys. I have a friend that has a nice collection of old Colts, Winchesters and Civil War rifles. Seems cheaper than putting it on the homeowners policy. He has a safe, but likes to display his guns also. Any thoughts appreciated. http://ww...

I have a .35 Remington and a .32WS, but the 30/30 is THE most fun cartridge to reload that exist, IMO. I have one that I only shoot cast out of and another that I shoot mostly jacketed out of. I load them with everything from 115 grain cast to 190 grain cast and everything in between. I am now worki...

A few years ago I went to the Ryman Auditorium to see a concert that was later broadcast on PBS. It was The Cheiftans along with Allison Krauss, Del McCourey, Earl Scruggs and others. The concert did a great job of showing the connection between Celtic music and Bluegrass. It was absolutely fantasti...

I got one last year. I love mine. I shoot a lot more .38 special than .357 in mine. I also got a set up grips from Private's Grips and they helped the comfort level greatly. The factory grips with hot magnum loads were rough! Mine is very tight and well fit, more so than my other Blackhawks. http://...
