Leading, leading, leading.......Oh, and did I mention leading? This area has been a "Shotgun Only" area since forever, advanced to allowing muzzleloaders around '78, then handguns around '80 and finally allowing rifles last year. Finally! However, some of the Turkey Shoots I attend only al...

I'll give Simply Rugged a try, maybe they can make me up what I'm looking for. I know it isn't much weight but I'm trying to get rid of the need to carry anything on a belt. A belt rubs on my hip bones and causes me pain if there is any weight on it at all, so, the need for a shoulder holster. The D...

I've tracked down all the makers suggested but they don't offer one to fit this gun. Remember, it's a 22/22 Mag, it's the size of a Ruger Single-Six w/ 6 1/2" barrel, no one seems to make a rig for the small frame guns. My aim is to carry it in the shoulder rig with the magnum cylinder loaded, ...

I have a Colt New Frontier 22/22Magnum revolver with 6 1/2" barrel that I need a shoulder holster for, preferably suede-lined. I'm probably looking at a custom job but thought I'd ask here about where to get one or have one made. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the information Steve!

I live in western New York State, about as far west as you can be and still be in New York, Chautauqua County actually. I was reading an article by Paco entitled "Survival" wherein he states he lived in upstate New York "on my grandfather’s farm bordering National Forrest land in upst...

My wife and I shot this event a couple of years ago and we had a blast!

I'm sorry I haven't been able to make it back (life keeps getting in the way

), but if any of you fellows can go, DO SO! It's great fun!

They're everywhere!!! You just can't fix stupid.............

mcb, there's a lot of good advice posted above, and if you stick to 296, H-110 or 2400 for full power loads you won't go wrong. But, remember that PRESSURE is PRESSURE, BE SAFE! Just because you're shooting a rifle doesn't mean you can ignore the max loads listed in the literature, and as Doc mentio...

An interesting, and surprising, look at rifle accuracy, I hope you find it as interesting as I did!

I have not slugged the barrel, I have been using cast bullets that mike .358" diameter. The 180's shoot awesome groups whether full power or reduced. Currently, my standard load is 11 gr of 2400 with a 180 gr truncated cone profile from Penn Bullets or Lasercast. I'm going to order a mold (158)...

centershot

In another thread I had inquired about mold selection for my 1894c (357 Mag), and there were several comments about 158 gr cast bullets giving unsatisfactory groups in other peoples Marlins. Well, mine won't shoot anything you could call a group with them either! Maybe it's just that I haven't hit o...

Thanks for your responses! After mulling it over for a bit I'm torn between the 175 gr Ranch Dog RNFP and the 180 gr Saeco.........decisions, decisions............

$(%#%$@@()&&)&&*#$T(&*%$$(^_(*&+_)&$#^$#*^%!!!! No, those aren't cuss words, that's the confusion in my brain!!! I'm trying to decide on a mold for my .357 magnum carbine. To my thinking, a 200 gr. Keith SWC plain base would be ideal, but, nowhere to be found......soooo, ...

I'm using the Leupold VX-1 1x4 scope on my leverguns. No front bell so no issue there, you can mount it as low as the hammer spur will let you. In your case, try to shim it up a few thousandths to clear the rail. If not, you'll need the next size higher rings........

centershot

Question regarding Remlins: Are they marked with "Ilion, NY" or "North Haven" on the barrels??

centershot

JerryB, 2400 & 4227 will work great in your carbine with the 180 gr bullet, the only thing you give up is a little bit of velocity. Li'l Gun is a tad slower than those two, and because of that, it really shines in the longer barrel!

centershot

+1 on 15 gr of Li'l Gun with the 180 gr XTP, super load!!

centershot

Thanks Pete, I'm off to start shopping!!

centershot

86er, I agree 100% with your choice of bullet! I've used the 180 gr Hornady for several years now in my Marlin '94 357 mag with excellent results! It seems to me that it is an often-overlooked option for the 357, but that's OK, that means there's more for me!!

centershot

Yes Pete, you're right, at minimum I'll need a lever, a lower tang and a stock. What about the upper tang, does it need to be bent to fit the contour of the new stock?

centershot

Hi guys! I'm hoping someone can help me out with some info on this. I have a Marlin 1894c that I really enjoy shooting, but I really wish it had a pistol grip stock instead of the straight stock. Are there parts available to convert this, or can you steer me onto someone who can convert it for me if...

I stopped in at the local gunshop today to pick up a set of mold handles I had ordered. As I looked around I spied an 1873 Winchester lying on the back counter! Looking it over I saw that it was 44 WCF caliber, had a tang sight on it and was in good mechanical condition, though the finish was mostly...

Handirifle, I have been burning 32 gr of Varget behind a 170 gr Sierrs SP in my 336 for a couple of years now, 2 moa (scoped) and no pressure signs. Varget is a very flexible powder for me, 223, 243, 30-30, 308,30-06. Good stuff!

If you're going to shoot cast boolits with a reduced load, have a look at this thread first.

Ed Harris has been around the block (a couple of times!), and has relayed a wealth of information here!

I don't have this problem with either one of my Marlin 1894's, so I was wondering if their was a fix to this. The gun was new when I got it, no chance of someone swapping springs out. I'll check out that plunger spring though, maybe I can get it worked out.......

Hello all! Hope you're all enjoying big-game season this year - and I hope you're all having more success than me! LOL! Anyway, I've discovered a slight problem with my Marlin 336 since season has started. This is the first year that the state has allowed rifles for big-game hunting in this area, so...

getitdone1, in the world of electronic sights, you truly do get what you pay for. (Don't ask me how I know that!!!) If you want a red dot sight, buy an Aimpoint. If you want a holographic sight, buy an Eotech. PERIOD. These sights are battle-proven by military personnel around the world. They are as...

If they're softer than the clip-on weights they are pure lead, they'll work great in a muzzleloader!

It's interesting to me to see what a low opinion some have of the 12 ga. slug! (LOL! :lol: ) I have hunted deer and black bear in a "shotgun-only" area for 40 seasons now, and have NEVER recovered a 12 ga. slug, ALL shots were complete pass-throughs. Poo-poo it if you want, but knowing wha...

As Pisgah mentioned, some bore cleaners can erode your barrels' inner surfaces if not used according to label directins, so be darned careful about how you use them! I I shoot mostly cast bullets at moderate velocities in my pistols and rifles so I treat them the same as my .22's, that is, I run a d...

The effectiveness of a levergun as a combat rifle deals more with the ability of the rifleman than the rifle. Doc is correct in saying that you are at a disadvantage when confronted with multiple attackers armed with modern weapons, but the key here is to diligently TRAIN with the weapon you have, k...

Well, I just checked the schedule at Tiadaghton Sportsman's Association, the match is September 10 & 11. Unfortunately, that's the same weekend as our fundraiser for Hunt of a Lifetime here at the Falconer Rod & Gun Club. Since my wife is the chairman (chairwoman??) of that event it's safe t...

"Yep. NEVER stay home just because you can't compete; just 'being there' can be fun, and encouraging to others who enjoy the conversation, and occasional bits of sagely advice. " Thanks for that, Doc! You're right, of course, I guess I'm just having a hard time coming to grips with this.....

Thanks for posting this Sixgun! i didn't attend this year, with the state of my vision it's doubtful I'll ever shoot in competition again. I shoulda' gone anyways, just to hang out with the guys. Maybe next year.......

This is the trend for combat pistols, BBBUUUUUUTTTT, spend the money for a top quality sight!!! A semi-auto handgun WILL beat the snot out of an electronic sight!!

Nath, I'm very surprised at your results with the Mini-mag HP's! They have always worked well for me, they're my favorite load for my .22 rf rifles. I've used RWS ans S-K subsonic HP's also, VERY accurate and absolutely deadly, but a bit pricey! I'm sure the Eley subsonic HP's will work well for you...
