Wonderful! Congratulations!

Thanks guys, appreciate the feed back. Look forward to hearing somethng from Steve. I will keep an eye on the Winchester stuff just in case something comes along I can't resist like a .348 M71/1886 In the meantime I'm far from disappointed by Marlin options and the other cheaper makes...my best mate...

Guys I have been out of the game for some time. When I was last involved with weapons other than Bows and Arrows, Winchester was still in full production, the only comparable alternative was Marlin and stupidly I never bought a Browning '71. My dillema is that so many of the new available lever guns...

G/Day Peter, I don't live anywhere near Sydney, I'm north of Brisbane but thanks for spreading the word. I must be walking around with my head in the sand as I have never given a moments thought about the SSAA collectors club. I was only thinking a few minutes ago I should use my tax return to get ...

My infant boys are yet to move in social circles I can't control but the dangers ahead terrify me. As a dad I think I can understand, at least in part.

The next hugs I give my sons will be with your son in my thoughts. You and your family have my deepest sympathy.

Thanks very much for the extra information posted here fellas. Yes I have been out of the loop for a long while and have been struggling with time and money getting back into it all, specially with so many changes to what is and isn't available anymore. Also have a two year old and a 2 month old so ...

Guys very excited about Winchester releasing or re-releasing many new levers in different configurations. In particular the 1886...Now I would love one in 45/70 but would this action handle the .348 Winchester round if a custom job was considered? Will it handle those 40K pressures or is there a bet...

crow

You lucky lucky dog. Good onya! Why this rifle and chambering has never been released is quite beyond me. Even rereleasing it in the .450 Alaskan would sell numerous rifles I reckon. Sometime gun manufactures are so stupid the don't realize when they did something smart. Man what a score. Lawyer Dag...

Good woman, good dogs and good rifle.

two out of three ain't bad, but three out of three is exceptional.

Well done mate, and sorry to hear about the old lab.

Most of my favorite shooters have lots of character......I'm being silly not shooting the .405 :wink: That first scratch is gonna hurt, tho :lol: Yep the first one does....but then there is relief because it is out of the way and you can get to enjoying that rifle fully. I think the consensus is no...

SSHHHHhhhh Carl,

You'll start a Gold Rush...LOL

Good onya mate, I'm Jealous.

I just inherited a BB94 Top Eject model prob early 80's...fired about 40 rounds tops. Some rust spots due to careless storage...but in fairness VGC for rifle untouched for 20+ years. Bore is perfect.... I could not have been happier...except maybe if it had been in 405 Win... :lol: BTW can anyone re...

Doctor's orders. Yes mate shoot her or sell her. As the rifle wears the memories just make it more beautiful.

crow

Honestly. You came to the right place. I'm still getting through past posts and articles.

People here are generous with their knowledge.

Welcome.

crow

Agreed lots of good answers by people committed to helping two brother shooters. Unfortunately the key missing ingredient is the age and size of this keen little bloke. 86er still hasn't helped us out with that yet. I think Hobie was entirely correct with his cautionary common sense reply about bein...

Corona is like stagnant carbonated pond water...hilarious what good marketing can do. In Oz, I quite like Fosters but not my favourite Ozzy beer.

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. 7mm Rem Mag for me as well...has pretty much every thing I want in a Boltgun/BLR cartridge except a "Belt". Hate belts, just a darn fool idea IMHO. It's why I was...

Let me just add my own WOW! to this post. Thank you for sharing and showing the possibilities.

Seems to me that Best, Favourite, Most Useful and Most Used are just not all the same thing... :D Luck for us because in good times they provide an excuse to own one that covers each category. Just like Need and Want are not the same...we'ed have to live in a one gun universe for that to happen. 94 ...

TEDDY’S NEW BIG MEDICINE Teddy Roosevelt took a Winchester model 1895 lever action rifle, chambered in the .405 Winchester cartridge to Africa to hunt dangerous animals. At the time the .405 was the most powerful American manufactured rifle cartridge. Roosevelt called his rifle “Big Medicine.” Ther...

Its all about maintaining the original designation of things. Its 45 Colt, 45 Schofield, 45 ACP, etc. Now you might call the 454 Cassull a 45 Long Colt but I think Dick would get upset. :lol: No, no, no, O.S.O.K......the 454 Cassull is really the 45/70 Short and the 45/70 is really just the 45/90 s...

Different cartridges/rifle combinations have different value depending where they are used. SMGs, Assault Rifles and Battle Rifles have worth in different environments. Tankies love a SMG.... Assault Rifles....a exSAS mate of mine preferred a short barrelled M-16 to a SMG but his training made him a...

Due to reasons beyond my control I have not visited for a while, so I come back and encounter a completely unexpected treat. The superlatives have been consistant but far from overused. What can I add? I am jealous, but in an appreciative way. I may be past my time to develop the skill to start and ...

300 - 500 rounds out of the .22 as it is good cheap practice for form and technique. Maybe 100 rounds centrefire (50 rounds a fortnight) mainly working up loads and experimenting. Shooting for accuracy, chasing max. velocity and power are secondary. Full power loads now and again...just to rev the e...

crow

Chris, absolutely no offence taken at all mate. I know exactly what you are saying about hunting. Both you and Travis are also correct about small territory not guaranteeing success. I have hunted pigs in lantana country and the same applies. Something gets spooked, there is a ruckus 20 (25yards) me...

DOH!!! Insert picture of Homer Simpson here, sorry guys. I meant to post this in the Africa/USA topic.

Travis, that is a HOOT!

Sure, I know what your saying but we are way past the courts interfering with "stupid is as stupid does" and furthering the erosion of the gene pool.

Beside, all the more reason they should have bought out a .50

crow

Here's a thought. Unworkable maybe but desirable. All gun ranges to be owned/operated by ex-Drill Instructors.

crow

AND it's not belted. Why Marlin went the belted route is beyond me. They should have taken a leaf out of Ruger's book with their new and EXCELLENT magnums.

I'm hoping for the possibility of BLR conversion in the .375Ruger or .416 Ruger.

crow

Agreed, that is a really good way to put it. Just getting back into the sport and it took me all of about 1/2 hour of scanning prices for ammo that reloading was the way to go. I didn't put as much effort into it that you did but you emphasis the point very well. I am looking forward to testing vari...

Yes mate, very much so. I am currently in love with the Kodiak MK IV double rifle in 45/70 so this would be a blessing. BTW, I am assuming out of interest, would this same process work with a U/O shotgun? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paco, to...

Winchester 94 Big Bore. My favourite amongst a wide range of great lever cartridges. Truely a shame that it has been dropped as a chambering when there are so many lesser chambering still available. I'm not saying its the best, (though it is hard to beat) its just my favourite. I am intriqued by the...

crow

Tutt, They look plenty big enough to me mate. And of course the size of the bore varies depending on which end of the barrel your on. They are all very nice, but that middle one is very pretty indeed. I would love to have a lever action / pistol combo, especially as I also bowhunt. Unfortunately tak...

crow

G'day Chris, I'm just getting back into the sport after about 20 years. And I know that at least one of my rifles is going to be a lever action. I was very disappointed that the 375 Big Bore is no longer available. I found it a fantastic cartridge. And the 38/55 just seems a step backwards as a usab...

Ysabel Kid, Mate, even if we did, I reckon I'd make bloody sure the first shot from my longarm did the job just to avoid having to pull the backup pistol. :lol: And who knows, maybe a trampling would hurt less.
