What choke do you think gives the best/tightest pattern at a longer range (30-40yds) with OO ? I always thought full, but now I'm being told cyl or I/C.....what say you? Havent tried it before. I suggest getting a larger sized target and shooting your shotgun at that distance and with each choke an...

My model 44 Mosin Nagant would be the rifle hands down. I purchased the rifle 2-3 yrs ago for $70 out the door. Its a great shooter and pretty much shoot to point of aim with iron sights out to 200 yards. The only draw back is trying to mount a scope.

A friend sold one in better shape with Elmer Keith's cartouche for $500, 8 months ago. I didn't have the money but he had a buyer and wanted it sold right then. Of course he had a buyer at that price! Yes, I would have shot it. Glad that wasnt me. I would have probably TICKED the wife off BIG TIME!

CONGRATULATIONS, can't wait to see the finished pics.

I have a Marlin 1894 in .44Mag. It was the last gun that my dad ever gave to me. He picked it up at First Monday in Canton, Texas back in 1991 for $125. I tried to pay him but he wouldnt take my money.

I purchased a Stoeger SXS .410 for my daughter. She loves it. Just make sure you get choke tubes. Hers is a MOD/IMC, the IMC opens up way too much for the small load of a .410. The modified is good out to about 20 yards.

I took my 11 yr old daughter shooting hedge apples a 2 weeks ago. She loved it. I bet she shot 250-300 rounds. Almost killed my brick of .22 ammo. This past weekend she took the hunter safety course. I was in total shock when during the shotgun familarization she hit 3 out of 5 clay pigeons (on the ...

I have both a 30-30 and a .44 mag of the Marlin variety. IMHO either is totally capable, personnally I like my 30-30 best. However I would opt to use the opportunity to explain to my wife that they are marginal at best and that I NEED to purchase a 45-70.

I went to the store today and picked up some primers as a lbs of W231. After a long break, I got back into reloading again. A little rusty, but I loaded up 6 and went to fire them before I made up a big batch. Loaded up some .38 +p with CCI 500 and 5.3 grains of W231 with 125 gr LSWC. At 7 yrds I ke...

JUST THINK OF ALL THE LEVERGUNS YOU COULD BUY IF YOU GAVE UP THAT NASTY HABBIT!

You might even live longer so you get to shoot them more.

You got me a little spooked for a minute there. Went to a couple places, ACE Hardware and Pamida, both run a little high, but they were $19.97 a brick. Then I went to Walmart and was able to get a Brick of Federal 550 rds for $11.50. I still had one brick that hasnt been used that much, but its alwa...

So I take it you would argue about lightning never striking twice in the same place!

Glad to hear that you got out of it a little easier this time. You might think of investing in a few lightning rod, be sure to ground them good!

Glad to hear the kids were at least not physically harmed! Who knows how long it will be before they are once again emotionally stable to be left alone at home. I live in a small town and thankfully we dont have much crime, however, this makes you question how much we really take for granted. Thank ...

Very Kewl. I too am a boat person. A sail boat person to be exact. I enjoyed the read and history of the stories. Thanks Mike, Yeah, I've sailed some and am looking at options to go again.

Having used the M2 extensively I can honestly say if they replace her she will be greatly missed. I do have an optimistic view of the replacement. IMO the M240B was a great improvement of the old M60. I just hope the M2s replacement does as well. Fortunately my M2s were always mounted on a vehicle. ...

Joe, if I were you I would take it with a grain of salt. I am a little more open in my opinions I guess than most. I enjoy reading all threads and get tired of opening the same type threads as always. IMO, Its nice to see people state their own opinions and beliefs. Leverguns is probably one of the ...

The longest shot I have ever taken was approx. 200 yrds. My average shot would fall about 75 yrds and the shortest would be about 25 yrds. Those 25 yrd shots tear up alot of meat, even when take with a 30-30.

horsesoldier03

I will give you a +1 since you at least labeled it as an OT thread. We will call the Charging Handle the lever!

Although I have a particular fondness for the M-4 varient!

Count me in. Been waiting for a while to get into one of these matches.

I would post pics but my wife has my camera in Gitmo.

Tell her to watch out what she is taking pictures of around GITMO. We dont need anything else leaking out to the press.

I know several people that have cars that will run the E85. Everyone of them tells me the same thing! When running E85 you will lose around 20% of your fuel economy. Example, when running regular fuel, gas mileage is approx. 28 mpg. On E85 the same vehicle is lucky to get 20 MPG. IMO, the trade off ...

IMHO the sex of the deer is of little importance. Clean shots, hanging, butchering/processing and cooking makes the difference! Take the cleanest shot you can, No gut shots or Texas heart shots If you have the place, hang your meat at approx 40 degrees for 3 days, leave the scent glands alone, use a...

This was the first day that I was home from work since my daughter got out of school this year. Took the opportunity to get out to the range, should have taken the camera with me for some action shots. However I did take some pictures of the targets. I was shooting my Lyman GPR .50 with a PRB over 9...

I like to see those #s on the polls. However ask that same question during a senate or congressional session and the numbers are far different.

horsesoldier03

PRB should definately be as pure lead as you can find. Considering that you can get 100 rb for about $10, I find it hard to think you can beat that price by casting your own. 1lb of lead for pure lead runs about $4 by the time you pay shipping. 1lb of lead will produce approx 30-35 .50 round balls. ...

You dont hear about it as much anymore, but the military used to train soldiers in volume fire at an area target. One of the best movies I have ever seen showing this technique (cant remember the name) had a band of indians that were assembled in a large group that would shoot a volume of arrows at ...

Makes you want to cry doesnt it.

I for one am probably the worst about not using hearing protection for myself around the so called safe guns that wont hurt your ears. However, I do make sure my daughter wears them every time she shoots. I guess I need to start doing better about that myself.

I enjoy most shows on the Discovery Channel. Especially those for survival. I am going to have to start watching for this one. Might be diffucult as I am not one to watch alot of t.v. and mostly catch shows by accident since I dont schedule time to watch TV.

Not sure that there is really a case for plagerism or intellectual theft.

That gun could only be worth pennies but the history and family value behind it makes it priceless! ENJOY it, you have an invaluable heirloom and an awesome levergun!

horsesoldier03

LOTS BETTER. The only plastic that should ever get near a gun is your credit card!

Mine is way to dirty right now to show a pic of. I really need to get it set back up where it is more efficient.

Just my opinion. But what mamma wants mamma gets! You better learn to keep them happy, even before you marry em. If you have to be able to rationalize it. Just tell yourself that it cost more plus your labor to buy the standard Charter Arms and then have it coated to the color she would like. Also I...

The best way that I have seen to clean a skull is to set it out in a remote area and let nature clean it up. IE maggots. Back home I have an old cage area that we used to keep chickens in. That keeps a dog or any other varmint from carrying it off. Clean as much off of it as you can and then let nat...

Here is the article from paco. Still just a personal opinion, but aside from a .38 in a .357 or .44 spc in a .44 mag, I personally would not exchange ammo. I know it can be done so safely, however, you have to ask yourself what your gaining from it. Murphys Law always seems to get the best of me, if...

Maybe you should take out an add and fleece the community of all their unwanted LEVERS!

Congratulations! I recently came across a good buy on a Stevens 12 ga Bolt Action. The stock was the only thing that really looked rough. I stripped it and cleaned it up nice and re-stained it.

So are you planning to make anything that might be of particular intrest to the group?

horsesoldier03

Couldnt have chosen a better combo for a non levergun!

horsesoldier03

Never shoot any ammo in a gun that it is not properly marked for!

It may work, however, it may not. Results may not be catastrophic, however it could ruin a good gun and performance will never be optimal.
